Dems use Twitter; Republicans, AOL?

Posted on November 04, 2008
Here are two interesting (and very different) electoral maps I found today. The first one comes from AOL -- they conducted a straw poll, and called a landslide for John McCain. Some folks at SetFive put together a map which represents inputs from Twitter on how people are voting. On Twitter, it's Obama, in a similar landslide. Does this tell us anything about the technology people are using? An interesting idea to ponder. Oh yeah -- if you haven't already, get out and VOTE!

Yotify -- Alert Nirvana?

Posted on October 21, 2008
Although RSS is still my tool of choice for delivering the latest news to me, there's one thing it doesn't do all that well -- alert me when the new stories on certain topics appear on the Internet. Sure, some search engines will generate an RSS feed for your search terms (and I hear Google is working on it as we speak), but I find that the results are often repeated over and over -- I still get RSS search results for sites that appeared years ago. That's why I love Google Alerts -- just plug in your search terms, and get an email whenever those terms appear on the Internet. It's like most of Google's other products -- it just works. But now I may have found a notifier service to lure me away from Google. Yotify is a notification site on steroids, giving you the ability to create alerts for more than 20 types of searches or sites...
