Terraminds – Twitter Search

I came across a great search tool built specifically to search postings within Twitter call “Terraminds“. (hat tip to Shashi)
This is a great research tool if you’re looking for specific resources for a specific project. For example, I’m always on the lookout for poets to showcase on my poetry podcast “Cloudy Day Art“. I do [...]

The Triumph of the Niche in Social Media

Tonight I received an e-mail from my friend, and Cloudy Day Art interviewee (here and here), Marcus Amaker. He was letting all of us know about his new book of poetry and art and about the redesign of his website.

I read a blog, that I can’t remember the location of, earlier this week that offered that this removal from the real-world [...]

SeeqPod online music search and playlist

Cliff Ravenscraft over at GSPN.TV’s Net Junk 27 podcast turned me on to a great new online music search utility called SeeqPod (terrible name if your trying to tell somebody the URL offline).
Yes, there have been others who do this, but what makes this different is that you can search for an artist/song and add [...]
