Technology: May 2008 Archives

For a while I have been using TwitterFeed to automatically annouce new blog posts on Twitter, but I stopped using their services and am considdering to stop following others who are announcing every single post on Twitter.

I love Twitter to follow what people are doing, and what they are thinking, but in most cases I am not interested in every blog post. And if I am, I simply add their blog to my feedreader. It is OK with me if you point out some of your excellent blog post in Twitter, but, please don't make it automatic. In my opinion, TwitterFeed only adds noise to Twitter.

By the way, if you are also on Twitter, my ID is JeroenSangers. I am also on FriendFeed, with he same ID.

Notes 8.5 will have fewer icons in the Notes Mail template. "So, in Notes 8.5 you will see an Inbox that's easier to scan, with 10 improved icons for mail message types. The biggest changes are removing the icon for read mail and using a blue star for unread mail. We also adjusted meeting workflow items so that the most time-dependent ones (e.g., new invitation, reschedules, cancellations) stand out and those that are not so time-dependant (e.g., an invitee has accepted your meeting) are subtler. No other changes were made to the icon grid."
