The Rise of Twitter - Part Two

In the first part of this three part series on Twitter, I covered some of the more popular desktop applications you can use in conjunction with your Twitter account. Now it is time to shine the light on some online applications which add even more functionality to Twitter.

Twubble: A handy site where you can search and add new Twitters to your Twitter list. The way it works is you enter your Twitter account information then the site searches the list of friends you are following for people who are following them. The result is a sometimes long list of fellow Twitters you can start following.

Twitterchat: Twitterchat offers people with a Twitter account the ability to create a chat box where you can chat with your friends who also have a Twitter account. The chat box created has a simplified instant messenger interface which you can install (the coding is provided for you to Copy + Paste) on your blog or site, or you can follow it via your Twitter account page.

My Test Run

After setting up a free account, I logged-in and was presented with a page listing the features available for free accounts: inviting another team member (remember you’re allowed only two team members including yourself for a free account), setting up the first of five pages for the account, and setting up reminders (email or text message reminders that can be set up through your account to remind you of important dates, meetings, etc.).

The (potentially) future eBook reader for comics: XO-2?

Here’s a teaser from the article over on Laptop Magazine website:

“Negroponte didn’t share many details about the XO-2’s hardware, but the new system has two touch-sensitive displays. As you can see from the video and the pictures, the XO-2 will be much smaller than the original machine (half the size, according to the press release) and will have a foldable e-book form factor. “The next generation laptop should be a book,” Negroponte said.” Continue Reading »

A New Business Model

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the current Ambrosia Publishing business model. After being in business for a little over a year (from getting the idea to start Ambrosia till now, to be more specific),

I’ve made my fair share of mistakes which I’m taking into consideration when I sit down to go over the new business model ideas I have for the business. One thing I have done is made a new distinction in regards to what Ambrosia Publishing will be when I revamp it. Right now, Ambrosia Publishing is a graphic novel publisher which serializes graphic novels online before publication. This will change to Ambrosia Publishing being a web comic publisher.
