If you are wondering where my Seesmic widget went, here is your explanation: Netvibes as far as I can tell is down, thus, my Netvibes Seesmic widget is down. Come on Netvibes, don’t get all Twitter on me.

So I know I’m fairly late to try out 12seconds.tv but I’ll blame that on my love appreciation for Seesmic. I have friends on Seesmic, some that I’ve met their and some that I’ve met in “real life”.

This weekend I attended my first Jimmy Buffet concert at Alpine Valley, WI.  In the words of my dear mother, “Everyone needs to see Jimmy at least once”. Jimmy Buffet, like no other musician that I’ve ever seen in my life, draws a very diverse fan base. Based on what I saw this weekend, literally [...]

Today when Amazon had there little S3 hick-up, the pictures/avatars in Twhirl (my Twitter app of choice) wouldn’t show up. I realized that my experience using Twitter was significantly worse without the picture and I realized that the picture that shows up next to the 140 character message is significantly important. In the olden days [...]

Seesmix, the daily wrap-up of all the Seesmic videos is back! Seesmic does a great job of summarizing the content on the site and they do a great job of create entertaining new content!
