Thats right folks, amongst the barrage of cool twitter apps that are available FREE – a newcomer has risen from the darkness and TOTALLY stolen the limelight.
Its called Touiteur (tweeter) and its made by the fine gents and ladies at Level Up Studios.
Here is a little list of cool features that Touiteur (Free) comes with
The only downside is that I would actually like NOT to have everything merged into one list – which is totally achievable if I pay $2.99 or whatever it is and buy the premium version.
My score – 8/10 (Would be 9 if I stopped being a tight-arse and bought the full app!!!)
This would be a 10/10 app if it refreshed when shook (Accelerometer support)

Hello Friends 🙂
As you will probably know, we have been involved in the newest UK TOP 40 Website to grace the internet. We’ve tried to make it different, contain features that others dont – and so far, so good!
But we wanted to know what YOU would find useful on a charts website – as there is no point in carrying on and making it unless it will be of use to the general public.
So far we have;
At present you can buy the tracks from iTunes and Amazon, and the charts are updated every week after Reggie Yates has told us all what’s going off.
What we will be implementing over the next day or so, is the following;
And we are also introducing some more text to help google with the relevancy, and a few styling tweaks such as a new logo etc.
Stage THREE for the site, is to include Ringtone downloads, mobile phone applications and also a feature where you can type in your birthday, it shows what was number 1 when you were born and gives you some options to buy it.
We are also looking at getting the back catalogue of Charts fro day 1, and having it so that you enter a date range and you get the uk top 40 from that date.
So, what do you think?
What do YOU want from a charts website?
Please discuss below 🙂
It dawned on me a few weeks ago, that i have far too much junk littered about the internet. I set things up, forget about them, and then set some more shit up – and its gotten to the stage where I’m using a shit load of web-space, and not really doing anything with it.
So i started by pruning my Facebook friends list first – removing anyone who I didn’t actually know, and i was amazed at how many people were on there that id never met, never spoken to and never even heard of!
I’ve also been thinking a lot about who i am on the internet, or more like – what I’m referred to.
I want to standardise my “Handles” on the internet, but do i choose Olly, or olstar?
Here’s what’s standing in my way;
Twitter – I love twitter, and despite not using it that much over the last few weeks i still love using it and love how it works etc. However, I’ve had to create a new “persona” on there as my usual names were all taken.
I’d love the @olly twitter account as no one actually uses it – I’d even settle for @olstar which is also not used! In fact, nearly all the decent twitter aliases for people with my name are gone, and un-used! I wish the twitter peeps would sort it out and re-release all the inactive and unused names – IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE SORT IT OUT!
Domain Names – Now, for ages i’ve been totally happy with my domain name – i mean, 0lly.uk? It couldn’t get much better, could it?
Well im afraid it could – thanks to the twitter generation, short domains and url shorteners have become a massive deal and some of them are tt.ly cool! (haha, see what I did there?) and it got me thinking about my name and my aliases and how I could use a international domain name to spell something cool.
I decided that I needed http://ol.ly as it was the shortest and coolest domain name any Olly in the world would be proud to have, so i looked into it and it was owned by a guy called Ollie (yea, obvious i know) However – he didn’t spell his name with a LY he spelt it with an IE…
So I started looking at it from a different perspective – What if I bought oll.ie, and swapped it with this guy who owned ol.ly?
I contacted him, he agreed – so now i’m trying to secure oll.ie – and you would not believe the hoops i’m having to jump through to get it!
Decisions, Decisions…
My conclusion is that i need to get everything in one place, on one domain name, and all tied up with cherries on top. Im not too fussed about having all my images and photos on the net – in fact some of them are probably quite damaging to my character, and in all fairness could land me in a lot of trouble.
So do i move everything over to olstar?
Do i pursue my quest to get ol.ly? Or will using a Libyan Domain Name balls up my placement in the UK search results?
Do i quit whining, leave everything on here and just forward my other domains to this one? (safely, of course ;))
Footnote: I do have olstar.co.uk – and it would probably make sense to just try and get that twitter name then im sorted.
Ahhh dammit…
