I’ve mentioned this on PalmSounds just now but, as I’ve already made a bot called the Wisdom of Pullo and talked about it here a number of times, I thought I’d mention my new one, the RandomBus, which I’ve just launched. It was fun to make and hopefully it’ll be fun for anyone who wants to follow it too.

Find me on pocket
I thought I’d quickly mention that I am now on Pocket, or GetPocket, or what ever it is called. I mentioned about Pocket becoming a social network in a previous post, but having mentioned it I thought I’d post a quick link to my profile.
So Pocket is now a social network
It’s interesting to see how a bookmarking app can evolve over time. Now it seems to be becoming a social network in its own right. All the usual things are there, like following and followers, sharing and liking etc. As a matter of fact I don’t think it is a bad implementation at all. I like the way they’ve done it. Time will tell if it works out or not. So far, I think it’s ok. Good start.
The wisdom of Pullo
I was a big fan of Rome when it was on and I think I’ve watched it several times since then. One of the best things about Rome was legionary Pullo and his amazing sayings. He came out with some absolute classics and I didn’t want them to be lost. So I had an idea to set up a twitter account which would tweet some of his best everyday.
So I’ve set up a twitter account which will tweet his wisdom every day. If you want to follow it, you can find it here.
My app of the week this week is … Tweetbot 3
I don’t think I could go back to using the standard twitter app anymore. Tweetbot 3 is so much easier to use, especially for multiple accounts, as it actually treats each account differently, or rather, it allows you to treat each account differently. In what way? Well, I use two ‘read it later’ services. One with each of my twitter accounts. Twitter’s own iOS app only allows you to use a single service across multiple accounts, but this doesn’t work for me. Tweetbot 3 allows me the flexibility I need here, and that’s not all.
In tweetbot 3 you can fine tune the interface, with the two buttons at the end of the bar being configurable. Again, this works on a per account basis, which is completely sensible in my view and is exactly what I need.
So overall tweetbot 3 is a massive step in the right direction and unless things with the main twitter app change significantly I won’t be going back.
My soundtracking stuff
I’ve added a little button thing in the sidebar, at the bottom, for SoundTracking. If you want to follow me on SoundTracking, click it. Couldn’t be simpler really.
Me, on Pinterest
Putting things on Pinterest
I just had an urge to put stuff up on Pinterest, so I’ll post some links to these later on. Just enjoying seeing lots of photos, many of which I’d forgotten.
Discovering people on twitter
I got the latest Discovr app which helps you find people on twitter. I started with my old @PalmSounds twitter ID and found out where it was connected. Quite interesting results really, and quite fun to look at.
