Here’s the larger context: I’m always on the run keeping my Twitter Android client open. Now although Android’s Webkit based browser does an excellent job in rendering most of the websites out there, there’s some moments when a larger screen is needed.
What I’d enjoy would be having the opportunity to bookmark the links AND get notified about them at a better time (e.g. a particular hour, or by the time I send the first tweet from a PC/MAC desktop client)
You will say there’s always the option to favorite the tweet, but in a GTD context I’d miss the reminder. Besides it’s hard to favorite something I haven’t deeply checked out.
So my question is : would you use this option if you had it integrated in your favorite twitter mobile client?

Today I received a package that was sent for me from Czech Republic.
Inside the envelope there was a letter of apology stamped and signed by the local representative stating that the envelope arrived damaged in the possession of Bucharest branch and they have intentionally resealed it in a protective case to prevent further damage. All that free of charge!
Fortunately, the content was unharmed in the first place but I really see a very good deed in their actions! As communistic and careless these guys were 1 or 2 years ago, this action is the proof that change is possible even in those environments.

As I side note, my mum, who just seems to know a lot of people in my native town, told me the lady whose signature was on the paper is a 55 year older who spent most of her life in postal service!

Twitter unveiled yesterday a long-awaited feature called lists. Ever since it was publicly announced, rumors spread about the structure,the use,the format.

I must admit that for me, it was a complete surprise. I was expecting something like tagging, or the already popular user-groups that some Twitter clients already got us used with. Indeed, private lists do somehow mimic this functionality but I’m not talking about them. I am talking about publicly available lists.

Their concept went beyond that of user-groups or tagging and I must admit I’m impressed and amazed how I could miss such an effect myself

One of the finest things about public lists is that you can use them to figure out what people think about you. Where they placed you*.You know that in the social web almost nothing goes out as one planned.Often things from functionality up to your mere personal brand are distorted by the view of the people up to the point where nothing turns out to be as the creator would expect. Needles to point out samples like Facebook, Digg, even Twitter itself to prove this theory.

The other cool thing about lists is that they reveal a completely new way of connecting within Twitter. Take the lists where Lee is featuredfor example.I know that Lee interested in various topics. I only follow him for one or two. Unlike @Strabuna here I have no marital interest in Lee, I’m just interested in his contribution to the online world. That is why I would check out the lists where he is featured for similar interests. And.. guess what? This reveals users I had no connection with, most of them whom neither Lee had connection with but who are extremely relevant to the topic(s) I follow him for.

Just those two things are brilliant ideas that pop into my mind when I think about lists. What about you guys? I’m sure there’s many of you who, unlike myself don’t see Twitter as a huge graph and did not try to apply Dijkstra inside this micro-blogging universe How do you see lists?

I am planning to use this information somehow in Sobraa but this will be revealed later when the feature rolls out!

Actually this post is more an Android post test. I am wannabbe blogging from Optimism2009

As you may already be aware , Facebook introduced the new interface where I am able to see your updates in a more … let’s say Twitter like fashion.
Now, Scoble here did a great job explaining how this change affects the mainview for every user, so I will just let you read his article.

After you do, I will kindly ask you to think about it. Think about advantages and disadvantages.
You must understand that despite the fact that FB is a great networking resource some of us are quite fond of, there are human limitations in processing a great deal of information.
As vain as this may sound, I will not put extra stress on my brain to process crappy application data coming not even from my first degree connections.
I am not interested in your friends’ dating habits, predictions, cute puppies, or whatever.
The result is simple. I have developed a simple annoyance counter based on the number of times I choose to hide apps coming from a particular person’s peers on my view.
Hit it thrice and you’re blocked! No hard feelings!

Careful who you support you may get disappointed!
I have always supported the cause of St Joseph Cathedral in Bucharest, one of the town’s architectural masterpieces. If you’re not aware of the scandal, it started couple of years ago when a newly found company has obtained the legal papers to raise a 12-store high glass building just few meters away from the cathedral.
I know this defies any logic and there’s several Romanian style trials involving the people who signed the papers.
But I’m not here to write about it. I’m writing this since I’m moments back from filing a complaint against the representatives of the church. 3 days ago these guys started a sudden riot which was taken to the next level – a protest against the developer of the building. And of course they are using all the arsenal.
What arsenal may a church posses, you may wonder? Well, think about a hell of a bell + a Dolby surround audio amplifier for the ones with a weaker stomach.
Anyhow in the past 3 days add a 9:00-20:00 continuous church-bell to the traffic on Victoriei Ave and you may get the picture of how I feel.
Funny thing is that yesterday I tried to speak myself with the representative of the Catholic Archbishopric.
My arguments were that most of their supporters are people from the area, people who now suffer from their mindless from of protest.
He never let me finish my sentence, instead he started yelling and … brace yourselves .. swearing. Swearing in the most clear gipsy-ish possible way! He kept yelling about how I am a supporter of the developer and he damns me to go to hell!
I’m now filled with anger, consternation and disappointment.
Police representatives reported that it will be about 15-30 days until they can obtain a subpoena to have the church prohibited to use the bells. That’s ’cause we live in Romania.
As far as compensation goes, they will probably have to pay some stupid fine to the authorities but who will pay to the hurt brains of all the residents of the area?

When a company opens the doors to contributors it should be very aware who they are dealing with. Otherwise we get to embarrassing situations like the one bellow:

Cartier cu țărani is Romanian for “district with peasants”, having the term peasants used to express a low level of education and well-being rather then farmer.

I remember the first version of this emerging a while ago on Wikimapia when another district was tagged as being inhabited by “ciori” literary “crows” – a very discriminating terms defining roma people(gypsies)

cartier cu tarani

This is new .. you will say.
Indeed I have decided to give up my old SweetCron powered lifestream and switch to Wordpress powered Weblog for my Main presentation page.
What’s new ? Well, a few things:
I will blog mostly in English since my audience turned to that.
Topics and subjects will change a bit.
