Native Twitter for BlackBerry is Disappointing Me
As what I wrote before (Integrated Social Media Interaction), I’m in constant connection towards my social network. And to be honest, I didn’t put Twitter for BlackBerry in account because of lots of minus-points it possess. In a comparison between say, UberSocial (previously known as UberTwitter) and Twitter for Blackberry, the official client falls far short in usability. My primary concern is its incapability to support multiple account in one interface.
Few weeks ago, I upgraded my native Twitter client application for BlackBerry to version 2.0.0.11 because some of my friends started tweeting about its wow-ness. And so it is. But recently I have become aware of how slow it is to give me my updates (as I’m writing this line, my timeline last update is 21mins ago, even after I refreshed the interface).
Lots of API request put down also giving me quite a frustration. I can’t imagine if RIM doesn’t have adequate API request limitation (or should they got unlimited in the first place). Replies, DM’s and other updates happen after a longer delay then 3rd party apps.
I hope RIM will do some upgrade, soon.
Integrated Social Media Interaction
I’ve been trying to find the best environment that can help me to manage my social media interaction, all in one place. The best I ever had was Ping.fm which can provide me with easy status updates upon multiple social networks (I counted, there are at least 45 social network being supported by Ping.fm). But the lack point is, it only provides me a one way access, to broadcast my updates without any area to watch how others are doing.
Subdomains VS Subdirectories
For you that host your website on your own domain name, there would be a time when you start thinking about creating a new group of information or simply trying to add a different website to your domain. And since a web-hosting service implements file management system (which involving files and folders), it is a common thing when people simply create a new folder to help them manage their content (and help others to see the differences).
Well, a well-organized web-hosting space is important, and yes creating a new folder to group things up is simply correct. But the way the search engine crawls your website is something that requires more of your consideration.
I landed on Matt Cutts’ explanation about subdomains and subdirectories in Google (read it here), and I learnt one conclusion;
If you’re simply trying to deliver a more-in-depth whatever your domain is talking about, then you can just create a new subdirectory (http://domain.com/folder)
Meanwhile, if you are creating a totally different website with content that doesn’t related to your primary domain name, then go for subdomain (http://subdomain.domain.com)
I found this is useful, because I am involved with numerous websites which sometimes required the right approach.
