Get E-mail Alerts for Twitter Lists Keywords
The new lists feature (that was added to Twitter a while back) has made it easier for you to share your favorite groups of people, and track their tweets. What Listiti brings to the table is free e-mail alerts when somebody, on a predefined list, references a keyword you wish to follow.
For example, you have a large list of every web host on Twitter, and you wanted to be notified when one of them mentions the word, “coupon”. You would tell Listiti that your list was located at mitchkeeler/webhosts, give them the keyword, “coupon” , and then hand over your e-mail address you wish to be notified at.
For the people who create the lists, they also provide badges for you to use to promote the lists you have created. Overall, Listiti brings a few beneficial features to this new Twitter feature, that the Twitter team does not provide by default.
Have You Simply Failed?
Think you have it tough? You ain’t got it tough. The people who have it tough are on SimplyFailed.com. This is an entire web site dedicated to the idea of not succeeding. You can become a fan of them via Facebook, Follow them via Twitter, read through the stories or post your own.
Here are just a few of my favorite “fails” from the web site:
- Fail is when you dress up as gangster and think you run the streets. The sad part is that you live in the suburbs in a nice house and your dads an engineer & mom’s a doctor.
- Fail is when your sitting in a class room and your teacher talks to you for 5 minutes , showing you the linux operating system….after 5 mins you up your hand and ask “Is that windows vista?”
- Fail is when an employee writes how much she hates work on Twitter and fails to notice that anyone can read those tweets and her boss (Me) is following her.

Disqus Review – Troubleshooting in Take Two
The last time I used the web site commenting service Disqus, I was really less than impressed. Back in July 2009, I tried it and for lack of a better term, it was sloppy. While the core of the system worked, it seems as if nobody there paid attention to detail. However, everybody deserves a second shot.
Fast forward to about a week ago, when I decided to re-install Disqus again on Mitchelaneous.com, FirefoxFacts.com and WebHostingShow.com. As a reminder, here are the flaws the system had before:
