I’ve installed 7 multi-platform twitter apps in my laptop computer to try out which among those Twitter apps works the best. This little experiment might help you guys out there in choosing the right Twitter App for you. Well here you go.

• Snitter - This one is the best among the rest. It is a desktop application which has a lot of nice friendly features. I love the notifications which appears on the lower left corner of the screen because it’s real unobtrusive whenever you are browsing or working. When you minimize the application it stays on the system tray and not on the taskbar. It has a lot of nice features like the slick and green interface, the cool auto-update and the fast response and refresh time. I suggest you install this on your computer. It requires Adobe AIR.
• twhirl - This is a multi-account Twitter application based on AIR. Features include nice interface, keyboard shortcuts, auto-refresh and auto-connect. One thing that I don’t like about this one is the hidden status textbox . I think the textbox should always be visible.
• Twitteroo - before Snitter came out, I was using this one. It has nice features like font resizing, transparency, sound notifications and built-in URL shortening. One thing I don’t like about this is that it responds very slow. The interface also needs some improvement.
• Tweetr - This application looks nice and works nice. You can send webcam photos instantly and send files by drag and drop. It supports URL shortening too which you can setup under Settings. One thing I don’t like about it is the very small input textbox. They could’ve added 2 more lines.
• Twitty Tunes - A Firefox add-on, this one lets you post currently playing music, websites, youtube videos and your custom message. Of course you’ll be needing the Firefox browser to install this one. It just enables you to post and not view your past statuses which sucks.
• Twit Bin - Another Firefox plugin, this one lets you post twitter statuses within your browser. Though not the best, it gets the job done. It shows the recent and public statuses which is what is important, at least, for me.
• Twinja AIR - Obviously built for AIR, this twitter client has a nice black interface which lets you post your statuses directly from your desktop. What I don’t like about this is that it isn’t resizable, well horizontally. It has also very small fonts and small avatars which is really not friendly on the eyes.

So there you go. My conclusion is please use Snitter because it’s the best among any twitter application out there. Thanks.

I just recently signed up with Pownce thanks to Avlack for giving me an invitation code.

What the heck is Pownce anyway?  It is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends. It’s like Twitter but it’s bigger. You can create a network of the people you know and then you can share stuff with all of them, just a few of them, or even just one other person really fast and Kevin Rose is the mastermind.

Basically, Pownce is free but it runs on small advertisements that doesn’t hurt much or get in the way. There is an option to upgrade which enables you to send bigger files more than 100MB ,customize your themes and no ads. But there is a price though.

Pownce is still fresh so unfortunately it’s not yet open to the public for registration. You can only sign up with an invitation code. You can either submit your email to them on their website and wait forever or I can give you free invitation codes. So who wants an invite? I have 6 available invites and the first 6 commenters get it.

Finally after weeks of lazy conceptualizing and surfing I’ve been able to come up with this brand new theme for my site. It’s called Coolmo. Funny name but it’s what I want to call it. I used the “cool” palette on Adobe Illustrator. You can find it on the color swatch dialogue box.

For the giant header, I used Adobe Illustrator again in composing that cool wallpaper you can download for free, but only if you want it. The sections on this new theme aren’t complete yet and I’m planning on completing this theme by next week. I’ll be adding sections like projects, themes, games, the obligatory about page and downloads.

Here are the future sections for this site:

Themes. I’ll be releasing WordPress themes later this year. Themes with cool colors and themes you haven’t seen yet. I’ll push my programming skills for that.

Downloads. Yeah I’d like to share and I’m gonna be putting some cool stuff here for web designers, gamers and you. I’m gonna share my Fireworks styles, some homemade wallpapers and some game saves for PSP games.

Portfolio. These will be the page where you will see all my chosen works. I’ll display all my projects here and talk about them when ‘ve got the time.

Games. This section will be the listing of all my games and how I’d rate them. I love to play but I need to sleep too. Gaming is fun and if only I can earn money thru it. I’d stick to web designing instead.

Well, those are the sections I will be adding so be sure to return if you have time and learn something. By the way here are the Wordpress plugins I’ve used for this theme. I’ve researched on the web and so far these are the best ones I’ve managed to install with this theme.

1. Feeder - it displays feeds on your page in html format. But I’m having problems working it with Tumblr feeds though.
2. FlickrRSS - cool plugin that displays thumbnails of your latest Flickr Photos.
3. Get Recent Comments - displays the latest comments from your visitors. What I love about this is that it’s so highly configurable
4. Gravatar (and userpics) - This plugin allows you to generate a gravatar URL complete with rating, size, default, and border options.
5. Reinvigorate - this is a very cool tracking plugin. Better than Google Analytics.
6. WP Audioscrobbler - This displays the tracks I’ve been listening to for the past few minutes. Cool eh?

I’ve still have a few plugins left that I have to configure but I’ll complete this list once I complete the site. So far, what do you think on the new look? I’m open for suggestions so please leave your commentsafter this post. Thanks.

It’s been awhile since I wrote something not related to the Playstation Portable. Today I came across a really helpful website, ilovetocomplain.com. I think its helpful because it helps you get those things off your chest. Things you’ve been keeping about what you hate in life, work and in school. It’s actually a good site, considering the design and functionality. The website also introduces a new word called B*SH. B*SH was started to let people complain about what was on their mind on a day to day basis. (more…)
