My Favorite Twitter Client: HootSuite

The most efficient, easy to use Twitter client to use in my opinion is Hootsuite.  I can organize my activity into columns, making it easier to focus without too many distractions.  Lots of cool features have been rolling out, one of which is file sharing. 

HootSuite is the first major Twitter client to support this exciting feature. Similar to picture uploading, you must instead click the document icon. HootSuite supports many document formats: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Photoshop, and MP3 files.  As with pictures, links to files are trackable with HootSuite’s custom analytics.  Check out these cool features:

Easy Blogging with Google Sidewiki

One of the main reasons why I love the Google Sidewiki is because it makes it so easy to blog.  After installing it to the Google toolbar, you can simply comment on a web page you're visiting in the Sidewiki and post your comments to Blogger at the same time.  Fast, easy and efficient.

It's Official: I'm leaving TypePad for Blogger

I've been trying out all kinds of blogging platforms - Blogger, Squarespace, Wordpress.com, Typepad, and probably others I can't remember right now.  Although I haven't tried the self-hosted Wordpress, I do plan to at some point, just not right now.

I actually do like all the blogging platforms, but none are 100% perfect.  For a number of reasons, Blogger is the right choice for me.  It fits everything I need right now.

Here's the three main reasons I choose Blogger:

1. Cost. I don't have enough funds right now to sink into anything at all such as yearly fees, hosting or anything else.
2. Time.  I have even less of that.  No time for a learning curve whatsoever.  Too much going on in my life and I need to get down to business!
3. Google Sidewiki.  This may not make sense right now, but I can see amazing value in using Sidewiki to post to our blogs on Blogger.  As time goes on, I believe this will get clearer to more people.
