Link Twitter to Facebook

macluke170 — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:23:48 +0000

To link Twitter to Facebook, log in to Facebook and follow the steps below.

1) Go to http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/:

2) Allow Twitter to access Facebook by clicking allow in the windows:

3) Provide your twitter login info and click login:

4) Once logged in click “Allow Twitter to Update Your Facebook Status”:

5) Now click the”Allow Status Updates” box:

Now you can update your Facebook status from Twitter. If you want to update Twitter from Facebook just use this app when in Facebook. Twitter should be in your recently used Applications so than you can just drag it to your Facebook bookmarked apps to keep updating Twitter From Facebook.

You can also use a desktop application to publish updates to Facebook and Twitter. One such application I recommend is TweetDeck. Plus Desktop apps like these let you keep track of people you are following on Facebook and Twitter without ever going to twitter or Facebook. I find desktop applications like this to be really handy.

Thanks for reading and have a good day!

When Am I Going To Get Snow Leopard?

macluke170 — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:58:30 +0000

Snow Leopard is a interesting update to Mac OS X. It brings better performance and some new features to the table. Plus that 29 dollar price tag is really attractive. I also like that you get 7 GB of space back after install. The only thing standing between me and Snow Leopard is when. When am I going to get it? I think that I would love snow leopard, but do I need it right now?

The first thing stopping me from getting Snow Leopard now is compatibility. For the time some programs are not compatible with it. Some of the programs I have are currently not fully compatible. The good thing about this thing stopping me from getting snow leopard is that it is a temporary issue. Once updates are made compatibility will quickly no longer be a issue. Plus The programs that are incompatible for the time are not programs that I use on a regular basis.

Compatibility is not that only thing keeping me from getting Snow Leopard right now. The other thing stopping me is wither or not it is worth it. Yea sure it is only 20 dollars, but still does it include enough stuff? I have heard that it shows better performance over leopard which is awesome! Also I don’t know how I could turn down 7 GB of recovered hard drive space, But isn’t that about it. Really all it includes is better performance and some software tweaks.

So should I get it now? Should I get it later? Or should I never get it? When I go over everything I am not going to get it now. I have decided that I am going to wait a few weeks to get it. That way by than it will have little compatibility issues and I have really nothing to complain about it. This way I will get the benefits of snow leopard with little or no side effects and I won’t be accused of being caught up in the hype.

Snow Leopard looks amazing and I think once I get it I will love it, but being a earlier adopter can suck and thats what I want to avoid.

My iTunes

I have discovered this cool new thing in iTunes. It is really cool and lets people know your taste in music. This new feature of itunes is called “My iTunes”. What this does is offer you a HTML code for your recent purchases, Favorites, or recent reviews of things on iTunes.

The new feature does offer you some abilities to change the layout of your HTML widget. The things you can change in your widget are size and style. The size offers are small, medium, and large. The style offers it gives you are original, basic, light blue, dark blue, and black.

One other cool thing of My iTunes is that it offers you a RSS feed. The RSS feed can be used by adding it to your newsreader. What this does for you is that it lets you keeps track of your itunes activity.

I love My iTunes. It really lets you show off your tastes in music. Another thing it does is that it gives you a excuse to post more widgets around the web. Got to love the widgets!

If you are interested in this new feature of iTunes or you just want to check it out go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/myitunes/?ref=http://itunes.com.
