Twitter, Let’s build something

Twitter, Design, Development, Web Apps — Chris on August 21, 2008 at 10:14 pm

I am amazed by Twitter. A simple question asking “What are you doing?” and it has become wildly popular. What I think is even more interesting are the great web apps that have showed up around the web utilizing it’s API. Some of these are really cool (foamee, strawpoll, twistori, fuelfrog). I am inspired and think aggregating certain twitter data could be very useful.

Twitter, let’s build something. I have an idea for a twitter-based web app and I plan to build it over the coming weeks in my spare time. Check back here or follow me on twitter to see how it goes.

Thank you Southwest

Life — Chris on August 21, 2008 at 9:53 pm

Southwest airlines has officially won me over for all of my air travel needs (minus flying to Atlanta). I have flown many different airlines over my life and Southwest is the first to have departed and arrived on time, twice. Both flights were great and the way they do seating is brilliantly simple. I love it. But what really won me over was when I had to change my flight the other night. I logged into Southwest.com fully expecting a hefty “Change your Ticket” fee of $100 and it was free! I couldn’t believe it, I was thrilled. I even got a credit of $15 towards a future flight. Thank you Southwest, you genuinely care about customers.
