StartupsLive.tv is definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen around these days and guess what! I got there!
Startups Live is the non-biased platform for any startup to get live exposure, a captive audience, and valuable feedback from potential business partners, customers, members, and investors.
Foller me on Twitter and I'll Foller Back
I sent a request to Startups Live asking them to feature the Foller.me Twitter service I’ve created and bang! I got on the show! It was really amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it!
The girls are so wonderful! Charissa was the one interviewing me and Dannie took care of the promo and blog post. We had so much fun during the live recording, that we couldn’t stop reading the Foller.me profiles after the show, so if you missed the live version, you’ll never get to see what happened beyond the recorded version at Ustream.tv, sorry!
I was very nervous on the show, but Charissa and Dannie said that I never showed that (hope that this is true), although when I played back the recorded version and looked at myself, I kinda laughed. Do I really look that funny on TV? And the panda, oh that was weird, wasn’t it ;) but I couldn’t help it! Then, when Charissa asked me about the business model of Foller.me, wow! I didn’t know what to say, cause I haven’t really thought about that (much).
The guests in the chatroom during the show were amazing too, especially when we started reading their Foller.me profiles out loud, heh that was fun! And my brand-new-to-twitter brother @SoulSeekah got his one-minute celebrity spotlight on the show too, thanks for that girls!
Anyway, if you’ve missed the show, I feel terribly sorry for you! So go ahead and watch (at least) the recorded version on Startups Live. You won’t regret it.
Don’t forget to follow the girls on Twitter: Charissa Cowart and Dannie McClain. And definitely follow Startups Live on Twitter for the hottest news. Oh, I almost forgot, they have a Startups Live Facebook group. I suggest you join that too ;)

I’m very glad to announce that the Twitter Friendly Links video I did a couple of days ago is now hosted at WordPress.tv! Big shout out to Michael who uploaded the video in HQ – thanks Mike!
The WordPress Movie Theater
There’s been a plugin update a few hours ago – 0.3.1. I managed to suit Twitter Friendly Links to blogs that run WordPress in a different directory. Also got a report that it doesn’t work for certain linking style in the multi-user WordPress (MU). Hope the new version fixes the issue. Oh, and I’m still looking for the plugins that conflict with Twitter Friendly Links (as reported earlier on the plugin page), can’t find it anywhere, and forums are dead too, how sad :( If anybody finds out something about it, please feedback – that’ll be so helpful!
And for those of you wondering what’s next… Here are some plans:
- Customizable text for the Tweet area in Edit Post/Page forms
- A simple API which will take a link to a certain post on input and output the short link for the post. This will hopefully let us pick Twitter Friendly Links in software like TweetDeck (instead of the standard tinyurl, trim, …) if everything goes well. I’ll be counting on you to vote ;)
- Also need to come up with something to make third-party plugins (such as Twitter Tools, Sociable, Tweetmeme) tweet out cool links instead of TinyURLs
Guess that’s all for now. Suggestions are still welcome!

This is my first ever video. Make sure you watch it in HQ ;) Comments are welcome! Also, if you liked the plugin you could embed this video in your own blog. I’d really appreciate that!

Y’all know Russian, don’t you? Kidding.. The guys in the video talk about the development of robotics in Russia, why people are afraid of robots and why they shouldn’t be (the three laws of robotics by Asimov). This “thug” (AR-600) can now make some steps back and forth then side to side (though they don’t show them on this exhibition, cause it requires a special surface). He can also recognize people’s faces and greet them individually. Oh, and almost forgot, he can read numbers from papers and add or subtract them! Smart ass! ;)

Here’s a sweet video by Common Craft about Social Media.
By the way the wide screen YouTube videos are 640×360 and Viper’s Video Quicktags wordpress plugin is doing great! Fits well in my new design, I love it!
