Twitterville

From Many Tweets, One Loud Voice on the Internet

I've avoided blogging about Twitter because it hasn't added any value to my life.

I joined just before SXSW the same way I sign-up for everything the Web has to offer. Cries into the wilderness was my first impression, it was useless as a tool to find people, parties and good content at SXSW.
I have four friends on Twitter and the NYT's article mentions two of them. Follow me now - MOON.
Twitter is IM that's horizontal as well as vertical, you have your friends, but you can easily join a new group.

Garbage in and garbage out
all noise and no signal
How about some quality over quantity?
For a society that's suffering from information overload this is the overdose.

Questions that must be asked - is the twitter buzz from free oxygen in the atmosphere or a PR oxygen tank?
How long before we'll be bombarded by spam, spam and more spam? 

I foresee the last whimper of the Web 2.0 bubble will be a twittered - OMG

Orcus Beta 1

Visual Studio Code Name Orcas Available!

Orcas Beta 1 is now available for download. 

One thing to be aware of is that they have not yet released the upgrade tools to upgrade from TFS 2005 - those will come with Beta 2.  You can read here for more info on what's included (and not) in the TFS Orcas Beta 1 release.

Before installing a release, review the prerequisites as some releases may require additional software prior to installation. As with all prerelease software, we encourage you only to install these on a secondary machine, or in a virtual machine, as they are not supported by Microsoft Services support teams. As the goal of these previews is to gather feedback from the developer community, please use Microsoft Connect to report any issues, or to suggest improvements.
