Link of the Day [6.07.11]

Yesterday, I asked a question about Twitter/iOS integration. Today's link gives an idea of what it was all about. Again, will this mean more followers, especially, those who use facebook? Or will Apple in the next release include facebook? Currently, glad that my only true social network persona resides on Twitter thus Apple's plans validate my choice. I wonder why facebook didn't join in or if they were even asked.http://www.fastcompany.com/1757764/one-touch-tweets-twitters-deep-integration-with-ios-revealed

Link of the Day [5.06.11]

Loved reading today’s link about issues with text editors for OS X.

I did recently take a look at TextMate and found it striking that it was released some time ago. I am surprised to see that it hasn’t been updated for a while.

As a software engineer, I live by the text editor. I did like BBEdit, but I can’t stand the small font it uses. I am an emacs kind of guy (the ctrl-k, ctrl-v comes from there! Try it in OS X as an alternative to open-apple-X, open-apple-C) so I am looking for something along the same lines. But no vi. No to vi.

It turns out I really like TextPad on Windows. Like it better than any text editor I’ve used. It’s because I know how to use it. Wish I can find one for OS X. I think I’ve done this post before.

MacAppStore

I do not like this development at all.It will bring junk to the Mac. Look at the mobile AppStore. Plus, that split is bothering me. Why should I get permission to put an application out for others to download to their own computer.Don't like this development one bit.

Delicious Library

Delicious Library is going to be one of the next programs going on my TiBook. I have a lot of books, and need to create a library in my office for them, and this piece of software would be great to help organize it.

A superb write up about the many new features found in BBEdit 8. What are you waiting for? The cost got you down. Check out the hint at the end of the article to get it for what seems like a song.
