My experience tells me that when @werner posts vague tweets (eg: "Some victories are sweeter than others."), Amazon is near an announcement.
As of yesterday (forgot to check today), we had 460 people signed up for Cloud Connect (http://www.cloudconnecteven...). Event starts 1/20
I just joined the cloud-computing Twitter Group http://tgr.me/g/cloud-compu... and you can too. Please Retweet.
@kevinmarks OK, I'm sold on the idea of starting with hCard. So, what are the next steps. Let's get it done (and viral).
TIP OF THE DAY: Via @zoho, RT @knowliz: Howto Change Firefox default email client : Gmail, Yahoo or Zoho etc.: http://tinyurl.com/6cs9vp
@GuidoS Typical queries I might do if this gerry-rigged directory were strapped to Twitter: Show me all followers in NYC. Or all PR tweeps.
@kevinmarks Yes, HTML+hcard is good first step (though hCard/vCard needs a bit of updating, IMHO). Just need to bootstrap the ecosystem.
@GuidoS Yes, a style sheet makes total sense. That page was crafted in the fray of a conversation to prove a twitter directory is doable.
@GuidoS No apps can consume that XML. That's the point I made @ the time. If enuf tweeps linked bios to such XML, cool apps would follow.
RT @maz1972: @dberlind FB allows ads on apps 50 cent's kyte app serves ads thru our ad manager and google adsense http://tinyurl.com/5tvuc4
@GuidoS If you look closely at the XML behind that link, it's essentially a digital biz card. Imagine if all tweeps did something similar?
@MitchWagner Thanks...Do you know of any example FB apps that carry their own advertising, independent of FB?
@GuidoS, Actually, the link in my bio works exactly as intended. It dates back to a conversation about building directories off Twitter bios
Question: Are there such things as Facebook apps that carry their own ads? If so, is that OK with FB or in violation of an FB policy?
@GuidoS, for this stand alone version of Mashup U (in oher words, not coupled with a full Camp), we're looking at a college with a PC lab.
@ArtboyUSA Mashup U is a classroom setting where students learn hands-on how to build mashups. Normally coupled with Camp. Stand alone too.
@ArtboyUSA, We've actually been running Mashup Universities over the years as well.
Heading into Boston today to check out a potential venue for Mashup University.
@monkchips I see you at SFO (on www.boarding.fr). Top of the list right now. I'd say the one thing needed in the UI are date/timestamps
