Twitter & Facebook for Android Updated

Posted on by

The top two social networking services updated their Android Apps today! Have you updated yours yet?

On Facebook:

Zuckerberg said it was a really small shop that Facebook had contracted to make the app — he was quickly corrected that it was actually more like one developer. “But it was the main thing they were working on. It wasn’t like it was some shop and that’s why Google had to buy them,” Zuckerberg continued, clearly still holding a bit of a grudge about it.

 

On Twitter:

One of the biggest new upgrades was the pull-to-refresh, which iPhone users had been using for a while now. This feature allows you refresh on an option bar that is shown after swiping on a tweet. There are some new quoting features available for retweeting and avatar pictures are now high resolution. One minor problem is that all the avatars don’t load right away while you scroll past them. Its just a minor problem and no reason not to upgrade or switch clients. The update is free so go ahead and scan the barcode below or find it in the market.

The Firefox 3.5 Upgrade – One Experience

Posted on by

firefox-logo I thought I’d capture a few thoughts regarding my experience with the upgrade to the latest version of Firefox.  The short version is that everything went extremely well, better than the last point version upgrade. to 3.0

Of course, the 3.0 upgrade last year had significant architectural changes within the browser, akin to the major changes in Windows from XP to Vista.  Last year, I had significant issues with plugins and such as well – which is similar to the software compatibility issues folks had with Vista too.

This time, however, with version 3.5, there were very few issues.  The only one I could point to in fact, was Google Gears which needed an additional week before it was updated to work with 3.5.  Everything else just worked, and worked well.

So, yes, I’m still a committed Firefox user and plan to be for a long time.  The new enhancements & performance of the browser is fantastic.  It really helps to enhance the added portability of the new netbook I picked up two weeks ago as well.

But that’s another post.

CompanionLink | Sync Outlook, Google & Android

image Well I think I’ve finally found the best solution for synchronizing Outlook with Google Contacts and Google Calendar.  It’s CompanionLink, which has Outlook synchronization tools for a number of environments and scenarios.

No, this isn’t a paid post. I found CompanionLink for Google Android in my searches for a reliable sync tool for Outlook & Gmail, which was maid imperative with my purchase of the T-Mobile G1.

In previous attempts, I’ve used Thunderbird with various contact and calendar sync tools, but they just didn’t cut it.  They also were a manual process for the most part.

CompanionLink is a great tool that just sits and runs in your Windows tray and keeps your contacts, calendar, and tasks synchronized in the background.  Great stuff.

An Update on my T-Mobile G1

Posted on by
Reply

image I received my T-Mobile G1 last week, just in time for a the October Social Media Breakfast – Twin Cities event on Friday.

It’s been the best smartphone I’ve yet had the chance to work with. While I’ve not had an iPhone (and probably won’t) I can tell you that in my experience, Android surpasses S60, Windows Mobile, and Palm.

I’m going to work up a great post about the device, covering the highs and lows of Android and the G1 hardware it runs on. It’s a winner for me, but I won’t deny that there are issues that need to be addressed by Google, and opportunities for independent developers.

Looking for 4 Firefox plug-in updates

Posted on by
Reply

firefox-logo My migration to Firefox 3 has been fairly painless. I specifically put off trying out most all the beta versions until the last release candidate. Since I’d embraced the plug-in feature of Firefox and installed upwards of two dozen of these spiffy enhancements to a great browser I knew a few (or many) would not be updated right away.

And I was right, many plug-ins were not updated when I installed FF3 rc3, and I had to do without a lot of functionality. The only thing that allowed me to ride it out from the release candidate to shipping code was the fact that Foxmarks was updated to work with FF3 – it’s my absolutely most needed plug-in.

But in the three weeks I’ve been running the latest versions of Firefox 3, I’ve seen updates to plug-ins on an almost daily basis! out of 21 plug-ins, I’ve only 4 that aren’t yet updated: Blog This in Windows Live Writer, coComment!, ColorZilla, and Thinger.

Yes this was cross-posted with my personal blog, but I’m interested in feedback from both blogs. – Rick

UPDATE: I just found the latest ColorZilla beta here that works with Firefox 3!  In addition, I removed the coComment! plug-in as I see that the folks at coComment themselves will be getting their plug-in updated shortly. I’ve kind of given up waiting for any update to the Blog This in Windows Live Writer plug-in. That leaves Thinger, which I really do hope gets updated, because I really need a second (third?) bookmark toolbar.
