Tweetdeck, Now With Streaming

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I went ahead and downloaded the latest update to Tweetdeck earlier on my laptop, and have been using it for a little bit. The “big” feature in this release is the support for user streams, which means tweets will show up even faster. Personally, I’m not in that big of a hurry, so I didn’t care all that much about that. However, I noticed a couple of features that have always been missing from Twitter for me before, included in this update, so I was happy to see them at work.

One, the ability to turn on/off whether you see replies your friends send to people you don’t follow. It can be overwhelming and you might feel odd seeing half of a conversation, but it also helps find more similar people to follow, and helps you learn new things about the people you currently follow that you may not have known before.

Secondly, I love having the ability in Tweetdeck to be notified when I’m added to a list, or someone favorites one of my tweets.

So, nice job Tweetdeck, but I still have one burning desire, that actually only grows with these new features. When will all these features show up in the iPhone version? I’m still waiting for global filters there, which is way more important to me than any of the new desktop features. Get with it!

    Weekend in Charleston And Why It took So Long to Post

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Yes, the photos were taken in June, which is when we actually spent a weekend driving down to Charleston, SC. Yes, it’s taken that long to actually get them shared on Flickr. This just goes to show the difference between being a professional, and photography as a hobby. No one was waiting on me to…

  • Linked – The Making of a Myth: Big Tech, Billionaires, and the Wild West

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    When Big Tech bros talk about being the cowboys of the modern age, the myth is what they want you to believe. They want us to believe that they are so brilliant and creative that they succeed without assistance and will solve any problem without needing oversight or regulation. They’ll forget to mention that the Internet they are building on only exists because of government programs or that many of them have gotten plenty of handouts from government and private equity. They will also not like to be reminded of the many ways they have overstepped and done real harm.

    According to an email I received, and confirmed by logging into the site to see for myself, you can now “share” links to news items, blog posts, etc. on LinkedIn. you know, like you probably already do with Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, etc. I can’t help but wonder if LinkedIn isn’t a little too late to…

    Linked: The Third Web

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Here’s the thing. I’ve been around the internet, and the Web, a long time. Long enough to remember when HTML was going to “democratize” publishing and when blogging was going to “democratize journalism” and when social media was going to be the thing that finally “democratized” the Web and gave everyone a voice.

    None of that proved to be true. Each and every iteration of Internet technology eventually wound up with a couple of big winners, and some sort of monopoly.

    What is it about Web3 that makes people think this will end any differently?

    The Benefits of the Arts in Business

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    My point was that as a trainer, I do quite a bit of presenting and public speaking. I also do a fair bit of storytelling, but I didn’t learn that skill in business school or from my technical education. I had to learn those skills later in my professional life. So, I take every opportunity to encourage young people to learn those skills. You may not be looking for a career as a speaker, actor, or Improvisational Comedy, but the skills you learn there will make you stand out in the workplace when it comes time to do a presentation or speak up for your ideas.

    I was reminded of this again last week when I listened to my friend and former colleague Laura Prael being interviewed on the Aussie podcast Two Drunk Accountants.
