Add Yahoo! (And Other) Messaging On Your Palm Pre

(jeff)isageek — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:29:33 +0000

So I mainly use google talk as my primary IM client on my computer and my Palm Pre but I have some friends who also use Yahoo for their IM’ing needs (including Allison) so I have been interested in getting that ability on my Pre.

Well today I discovered a messaging plugin that allows you to connect to more service then the default ones. It adds functionality for Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, Office Communicator, ect.

Now I have not tried them all as I dont really use any of the other services but I can say that the Yahoo one does work. I was able to login, see my friends online and have a chat with one. So there ya go some more added features to your Pre

Note : There has been some talk that Yahoo will be included by Palm in the future as a default option so if you are not kool with installing packages and stuff you may still see that as an option soon.

November SMCKC Breakfast

(jeff)isageek — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:00:12 +0000

So I didn’t get to go to the monthly SMCKC breakfast due to a work conflict which actually was the first time I had not been to one of the breakfasts since the very first one at Homer’s where we had like 7 people there (things have come along way).

This breakfast the committee gave a little introduction and talked about what they see for the year coming up (minus me of course) but Ryan was a very good stand in.

Here is a little video from the breakfast……

Another kool thing at this months breakfast was KCTV5 came and did a little interview with new SMCKC President Lisa Qualls. Check out the video here.

Listiti : Its Like Google Alerts For Twitter Lists

(jeff)isageek — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:24:13 +0000

Found this new little service called Listiti via Louis Gray today that I guess would be best described as Google alerts meets Twitter lists. Now the difference here is you will only get alerted when someone on the list you are monitoring mentions the keyword instead of everytime the keyword might be mentioned out there on the interwebs

How would that be any more useful? Well it gives you a more concentrated list to work with. Maybe you just wanna know when one of YOUR friends mentions an Android phone or maybe you only want to know when a list of social media experts you have talks about Twitter lists..the examples go on and on.

Some little bits on the service it is free, you cant use operators like OR you just have to create a new search in that case, you will get an alert every hour but they are working on having a daily digest in the future, and it was created by Xavier Damman.

I think it is a kool little alert service that like I mentioned can allow you to have a smaller group to concentrate on for your alerts from people you might consider friends, experts, or whatever.

Browse Twitter Lists With List Browser

(jeff)isageek — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:54:52 +0000

Dave Winer wanted an easy way to browse all the Twitter Lists that are popping up these days so he created List Browser for us all to play around with.

Its pretty easy and simple to use. You just put a Twitter handle in the search box and it will give you all the lists that user has created.

Once you have a list loaded up you can see everyone on the list with their avatar, their bio from twitter, how many followers they have as well as how many people they follow, and then a link back to their Twitter profile. Oh yeah also if you click on one of the names in the list you will be taken to their page listing the lists they have created.

The other interesting about the list is it also has Disqus commenting so you can talk with others about the lists and maybe give your thoughts on it.

Overall a kool little app to use for quick searching of the lists. Thanks Dave!

My Palm Pre App Purchases

(jeff)isageek — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:35:08 +0000

Recently Palm took the Apps Store for the Palm Pre live and since then I have purchased a few apps that I thought were valuable editions to my mobile experince and well worth the purchase price which was from .99 cents for Scoop, 1,99 for Tweed, and 2.99 for Net2Streams Pro. Below are my thoughts on the apps……

Tweed [twitter app] – Tweed is one of my favorite apps on the Pre and one that I use on a daily err hourly basis. I just think it works very well, flows well, the dev team is very responsive on twitter, and they keep adding kool new features (just released a new version with landscape mode, and some other tweaks). [follow on twitter]

Net2Strearms Pro [music app] – This one is great for following different genres of music from Shoutcast, Icecast, Local stations, and you can even grab other streams available out there on the interwebs. (I added some good stations playing 8-bit goodness….what can i say I am a geek!)

Scoop [rss reader] – This one is by the same company that created Tweed and is a green app (hopefully improvements with future versions) but is still already pretty sweet. I love the syncing with Google Reader allowing me to star and share posts, as well as like and able to render images. Like I said it is far from perfect yet but is on to a great start.
