ergenissen 2.0, storen aan mensen die zich er aan storen alles twee punt nul te noemen

Kunnen we nu ophouden om alles tweepuntnul te noemen? Er is werkelijk geen sessie of congres waar niet de twee punt nul over oude zakken wordt heen gegoten, blijft oude wijn mannen (m/v). Ambtenaar twee punt nul? Pleeeeeease. Stop 2.0! Nu 2.0! Tweepuntnul 2.0!

krig je natuurlijk wel tweets als deze terug :-)

After my plaxo must die tweet,

"killer apps must die"

I love twitter, sometimes I can not post as much as I would like to. But I am a long term heavy user and you can follow me if you can read Dutch and think I write sensible stuff every now and then. And I wil return by following you.

One of the great ways that twitter is used is in ways the twitter staff could not predict but only could facilitate by openening up the API's. Other sites can for example twet on behalf of you. For example, that you voted on Obama, put an RSS feed of your flickr account via a webservice to twitter to share it with your followers, etc.

The problem is that all these service need your userid and password to post on behalf of you of your twitter account. And here is the source of a big problem. Maybe the website you are using does not (need) to save your userid/password combination. Maybe they do. Maybe the service is safe and others will never be able to get your password via a hack. Maybe the owner of the site will never go bad and post on behalf of others. Maybe the service will not change its' Terms and Condidtions overnight so they can put adds in your tweets. And maybe you are using strong passwords for all your accounts that are not the same, so the webservice can not your gmail? Maybe.

But I am sure we will see an ugly accident in the near future, people are almost used to the fact that you should type in your userid and password in a popup box and as long as the password is not echo-ed on the screen but hidden with "****" it is safe to use that service.

Or so they think...

Ik heb het niet op mensen die parkeren op invalide parkeer plekken. tenzij ze invalide zijn natuurlijk.

Ik was recent in het martiniziekenhuis en gelukkig stonden er talloze invalide parkeerplaatsen en helaas helemaal vol met volk waarvan aan te nemen is dat ze niet invalide zijn. Zoals deze ramenlapper, niet bestellen dus die eikel van deraamlapper.nl!
