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.

Twitter, Facebook etc.
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.
