Sunday Sauerkraut: The “Something is Technically Wrong” Edition

Posted by Burgher Jon
/ March 14, 2010 / Leave a comment

Twitter is having some serious issues.  I’ve been getting the screen above all morning.  APIs appear to be working though, so this piping hot bit of sauerkraut is brought to you via Seesmic.

As I go through the week, I use Twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you have Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review.  I’ve selected the most useful of my tweets from the last week and placed them in to the categories that I use in this blog.

Personal Technology

  • How did people make long car rides before GPS and smartphones?
  • Looking for some Twitter tips?  Try @Dom’s book 140 characters  (Link to my review:  http://bit.ly/9jZKKZ)

Pittsburgh

  • Interesting opportunity for the Burgh’s tech businesses to be part of the Pirates new exec club.  (via @pghtech) http://bit.ly/9BjAbm
