Why you need a blogging notebook and a giveaway
June 4, 2008 | 4 Comments
It’s easy to think that blogging “happens” online. The fact is, the idea for your next great post can come at anytime, even when your away from your computer. It’s important to be ready to capture these ideas and develop them as they occur. To acheive this, I use a Blogging Notebook.
Purpose
I wanted a tool that I could use to:
- Brainstorm ideas
- Capture the good ones
- Develop ideas into posts
- Set a blogging schedule
- Explore potential projects
So, I created a blogging notebook.*

Twitter as a search engine
June 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment
This is the first in a series of posts that will examine unconventional uses for Twitter. Check back later in the week for the next installment.
Twitter has held the attention of the web like I haven’t seen a product do in a long time. While the premise is simple — briefly answer the question, “What are you doing?” — the benefits are as individual as its users. Some share little details of their day. Others promote projects they’re working on, while others connect with far-flung friends, seek help to puzzling questions or simply “eavesdrop” on the informal thoughts of bloggers or business owners they admire.
You may use Twitter for any or all of these purposes, or even something different entirely. Today, I’ll talk about using Twitter as a search engine, and its advantages over Google.

It’s a great article. You can read the rest here.
