We added search to Twitter

Ok, not really.. We just added a search field to the interface using a Greasemonkey script.

Get it here (clicking here will ask you to install the script directly)

For help on installing Greasemonkey scripts read my previous post.

My current work and geek hangouts

Brighton. What can I say.. You’re never more than 5 minutes away from another geek or “web professional” like-minded folk. All it takes is a twitter about coffee and a vague mention of a location, and the geeks will find themselves drawn towards you. So where do we go?

These are a few of the places I’ve been frequenting recently, and some classics that will always be the default starting point if I’m lacking inspiration..

Where do you go to get out of the office or meet your geeks?

Getting meta with Twitter, Flickr and Moo

Twitter Meta Moo! too far?

Maybe I’ve taken it too far this time, but I like the idea of a mashup that extends to the real world. Ok so it’s not really a mashup, but it is a combination of services being in one place. In this case, Twitter, Flickr and Moo. Flickr being used several times here, once to share the original image of the avatars, then to provide that to Moo for the printing, and then to share the fact that I did all that, which is of course this photo. I wonder how my Twitter friends will feel about it…

So now i’ve blogged about the Flickr of the Moo of the Flickr of the Twitter. If only it was an Upcoming event too :) I guess i could get it on a t-shirt at CafePress. Ok I’ll stop now..
