Seesmic: My Fav Twitter App

I usually follow my Twitter feeds from my mobile device, but I recently installed Seesmic on my desktop and I really like this app.

Previous desktop twitter apps I found frustrating to use. Tweekdeck for instance I found very hard on the eyes. And for some reason a lot of these apps don't let you resize the text, which is beyond frustrating because looking at a sea of 10 point font gives you a headache.

Seesmic however lets you change the background to white and increase text size so that it's a pleasure to use. You also get little 'bing' notifications every time a new tweet comes in (an option you can obviously turn off).

It integrates LinkedIn if you want, as well as FaceBook and Foursquares. 


Anyway, best socmed app I've come across and definitely worthwhile downloading.

    My pleasure.

    Seesmic is saving my eyes... I'm sure having to squint with those other clients cannot be good for your eyes.

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

Pew Research says Press Credibility In Decline

According to Pew Research negative opinions about the press are at an all time high. Definitely check out the source article because they have a ton of infographics that are worth looking at. The main graph related to the research is the one below: As you can see, the public no longer views the media as unbiased or fully accurate. There are dozens of variables that play in to this phenomena, but I think the biggest one is that the public has traditionally viewed the media as doing the people's work. Which is to say, they are kind of like the FBI, but they work for the people not the government. They are suppose to root out what is going on and inform the people so that society can hold politicians and corporations accountable (note the reoccuring theme of accountability that I talk about often in this blog, because it's a causal variable behind much of the issues in the world today). Over the past 15 or so years, the press has lost it's credibility with the p...
