Twit Cleaner - Show Report This week I worked 62 hours straight. Actually, that’s a lie, I worked 65 hours straight, with 3 hours of naps. Twitter has stopped being fun. I started Twit Cleaner in 2009. I wanted to make Twitter a better place for everyone. Unfortunately, the new API is so crippling that Twit Cleaner is unable to continue. So, here’s some things I had in the pipeline that won’t see the light of day: Filtered follow back – like auto-follow, but filtered through the (user customisable) Twit Cleaner reports , so if they would appear on (your choice of) report sections, you won’t follow them; only if they’re awesome. DM guard – deleting the myriad of DM spam we all receive. Spam Hunter – a neat game (a core chunk of the back end code already written) to make it fun (and super efficient) to hunt spammers on Twitter. At the risk of sounding immodest, Twit Cleaner was a stupidly robust system (optimising systems is something I’m really good at). And yet the v1.1 Twitter API “upgrade” hit like 20 ice bergs. Si
90% de información irrelevante: buscando la fuerza de los lazos débiles en twitter. Curiosos, los resultados de un muy reciente estudio de SemanticHacker sobre Twitter.

com - Twitter Twitter apps collection Twit Cleaner - Clean your Tweetstream! 15 online photo editors compared | Webware Tools that let you edit photos in the Web browser have come a long way in the last few years.

Most of the services on this list take advantage of Adobe's ever-developing Flash platform, which in its latest iteration got a huge boost with support for the large images coming out of today's high-megapixel cameras. On the flip side of that, several of the non-Flash-based editors use AJAX to make the changes happen without reloading the page.
