Things We Love 4/22

April 22nd, 2009 by Susan Crispell

Debbie loves Spring in Wilmington – This week is absolutely glorious and a wonderful reminder of why we choose to live in Wilmington. The simplest act of taking the dog out for a quick walk around our office building becomes a joyous event. The azaleas are blooming, the cherry trees are full of pink puffs and the grass and air smells heavenly. I have Spring Fever, which translates into bursts of creativity at Talk. Take time to smell the flowers everyone.

Jennifer loves e-Newsletters from the vet – Our vet shares a great e-Newsletter with helpful information to care better for our beloved pets. The “Pet Portal” also allows us to go online to see when our dogs and cat are due for vaccines, check-ups, or meds. You can also schedule appointments or ask questions via email. Very convenient for busy people!

Kirsty loves Facebook Connect – This feature for commenting systems on blogs like Mashable.com allows you to sign in with your Facebook information to contribute to online conversations. And when you do so, you can integrate the option with your Facebook account so your friends can read about what you’re saying online.

Nathan loves Google Reader – With at least 300 blogs in my reader, I’ve been addicted to getting a constant stream of information pulled to me, all in one location via RSS feeds so that I don’t have to visit 300 different sites to get the same content. On top of that, gReader lets you star the articles you like the most for future reference, allows you to search through all the articles in your reader, share the articles you choose with friends, and even make comments to have discussions going on them within your reader. Google Reader is an awesome tool for keeping up with whatever you choose, and if you use Firefox’s Grease Monkey plugin, it only makes greader cooler.

Susan loves Twibes – This group-oriented Twitter feature helps you find more people to follow who are interested in the same things as you. By joining a Twibe you can talk with other Twitterers about the things you love, share tips and get questions answered. And you can also expand your following through an instant list of people who may think you’re cool.

Thanks, William! We're glad you like our 'Things We Love' series!

I agree, I wish I could leave comments through gReader as well! I think we're slowly getting close to that, though. They now allow comments within GR, which means that the next step is opening up those comments to be accessed through an API. Once that happens, a comment system like Disqus can then pull them in, and put them up on your blog (much like it does for tweets, friendfeed comments, and so forth).

There will be a post with the webinar available pretty soon here. Just waiting for a few uploads regarding it to finish!

Thanks for reading!

The 'Things We Love' series is the best part of your blog. I'm with Nathan on Google Reader. I'm borderline addicted to it as well. In fact I read this blog post through GReader - now if only I could leave comments (like this one) through it as well.

Missed your webinar today - is there any way to view a recording of it?

Hi William. I'm glad you enjoy "Things We Love." Re the webinar, you can download the slides here on the blog. Check out yesterday's posting - it has link to download. We don't have a recording after all. Technical difficulties unfortunately. Next webinar will be recorded. Check back here early next week for schedule of upcoming webinars.
