Need help managing your Twitter account? Use Twitter Karma

Friday, February 19th, 2010

So you have how many friends? Wow you’re so loved. Don’t be overwhelmed by all the love your getting. Instead I would take bulk action. Twitter Karma does just that for you. Gives you the opportunity to see who exactly follows you and who you follow back. Knowing the even trade is really important and this website gives you just that.

I will say one thing about the site is that it hurts my eyes to look at. Not really Web 2.0 savvy but hey it does the job. Besides the ugliness of the site I give it’s props for the idea of it. Bulk block, bulk follow, or bulk unfollow. You pick.

UPDATE: Twitter made the site take away BULK unfollow :*(

Animate something fast with Moviestorm

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Moviestorm. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ever want to animate something and call it your own? I certainly have wanted to and you can with the help of Moviestorm. Many people try to animate but come up short. They don’t want to deal with all of the headache and time consuming aspects of animation. Such as modeling characters and scenes. Setup the lighting or dynamics. All of these contribute to a well made movie and MovieStorm is here to help.

So how much does Moviestorm cost? Not very much at all. It’s not something you pay for all at once. The creators setup a unique pay as you go system using subscriptions. For $8/month you get access to a virtual movie studio which gives you access to create your animated movie. That equals $0.25/day.

They even have cool contests for you to enter and have the chance to win a new Apple iMac. That’s pretty sweet. Go join the Moviestorm Challenge

So how would I use this application? I personally would use it for film projects I work on. It’s nice to be able to rough up a mock scene of what I want to shoot before I shoot it. Imagine having a visual storyboard rather than a hand drawn one. Most don’t relate to the paper anymore and want everything digital. What better way to show off your idea then to have a 3d environment display your ideas.

- There’s a free version for Windows and Mac that gives you an idea how it works.http://www.moviestorm.co.uk/index.php/download/download_moviestorm

- There are lots of content packs, so you can make all sorts of movies: horror, cop shows, romance, music videos, sci-fi etc. https://www.moviestorm.co.uk/MSDB/RentalBundlesServlet

Do you know your Twitter Friend-Follower ratio?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Twitter is currently being used by millions of people all over the world. The micro social networking website generates 140 character messages for your pleasure. In just minutes you can find out what your favorite heiress is doing, (wiping her behind or making another sex tape) or discovering a famous Director/Writer such as Kevin Smith getting kicked off of his SouthWest airlines flight for being, “too fat”.

With all the excitement of Twitter the last few years, people of  all over have jumped on the bandwagon. Now isn’t it time to see where exactly you stand in this micro blog buzz?

I was curious how one would judge their standing with Twitter. Now I have a clear answer. The terminology being used is Friend-Follower Ratio. Why would this matter? Well let’s just say some have been using scheming to get their FOLLOWERS. The ratio will do a little math using your Friends and the amount of Followers you currently have.

Let’s break this down ——

If you are following 1200 people and only have 300 followers yourself it’s most likely that you are interested in Twitter for it’s information.

If you are a rockstar/actor/etc then you will probably have a friend-follower ratio like so - 80 friends, 1,002,343 followers. This is just an example but I’m sure you get the point.

If you are a SCHEMER then yours will most likely look like so – 3,343 friends, 3,503 followers. This is because the SCHEMERS are using websites that database friend for follow concepts. For example if I sign up for a website that schemes peoples follow counts it will not only have you followed but it will auto have your account follow the person that just added you. Make sense? If not I don’t care because I don’t recommend this concept.

If you want to learn your Friend-Follower Ratio on Twitter then go to this website. It’ll calcuate your ratio for you super fast. http://tffratio.com/. The website also works for other Twitter accounts as well so feel free to try and input your friends. It however won’t work for Private accounts unless you know that persons password.

If you want to see what my ratio currently looks like then checkout the image below.

Tori Spelling writing kid books?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Is it just me or does the cover of this children’s book look oddly enough like Tori Spelling? OH WAIT, it was written by Tori. Amazing!

I can just imagine the conversation Tori had with the illustrator Vanessa Newton. “Please make sure Tallulah looks just like me. Bug eyed and widely seperated”. JK JK.

On September 21st her book, Presenting Tallulah, will hit shelves.

Illuminating bath tub

Monday, February 15th, 2010

This is real cool. The mosaic tiles on this bath tub absorbs light all day then at night when you shut the lights off it glows. Pretty trippy. The company called Lucedentro specializes in manufacturing product that is photoluminescence.

Not quite sure what the price of this piece is but it’s pretty amazing to look at. Wish I had that in my crib. Did I just say crib?

Limited Edition Seattle Seahawks Jones Soda

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m super excited about the new Jones Soda limited edition pack they have come out with. I know it probably seems odd to be excited over soda but collectors items are sweet. I’m hoping they will come out with a Limited Edition New England Patriots pack. I would for sure buy those up.

Not only is it a cool pack but it’s also super inexpensive. They run for only $3.99. Super cheap right?

I’m just happy I have stock in the company. They are doing so well and seem to be growing steadily.

If I was able to pick the team as well as the flavor I think I would want it to be the energy drink Jones has. It’s called Jones Whoopass. I’m a huge lover of the energy drinks. I know I know! It’s not the healthiest thing but they’re so damn good.

If you had the chance to choose the soda flavor and team what would you pick? Me being from New England area I obviously would choose teams from my area. Leave a comment below and let me know. Maybe I’ll send out a 4-pack out to one of my special readers when Jones creates more teams. Who knows, if we’re lucky enough they will make it so you can pick any team and flavor.

Get him a Valentines gift that he can play with

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

What a great gift for the man in your life. Actually is it a really gift for the man in your life or for yourself? Why not let your dude practice while he’s browsing the web. With the G-Spot mouse he can learn all about your vajayjay.

OK OK I’m just playing. This mouse is hilarious. My buddy Tyler sent it to me and told me I should check it out. I’m in awe. A mouse shaped as a vagina. Pretty intense.
