Shifting sands and a poofy launch February 16, 2008 Filed under Notes.

Some people may have noticed that I had launched my small iPhone-oriented Twitter application named TabIt. For the Twitter addicts out there, TabIt is located in a comfy sub-domain. Built on CodeIgniter, it has been chugging along nicely for about a week with only one or two hiccups during the launch as the bot started running.

Run for your life, the sand is alive!

What I mean by this is that one of my common afflictions strikes again, my free-roaming creativity has once again directed my projects in directions I had never thought of before. What I'm referring to is my decision to do a complete overhaul of the Tea Beta. I did this mainly because I felt that I was not approaching the task at hand correctly. Included in the revamp is a slight shift away from just a statistics solution and more toward an entire project management system. Focusing on everything from managing all the contacts, designers, and developers of the project, tracking time and milestones, to the aforementioned statistics, with the ability to track more than just the project's site.

Introducing TabIt February 8, 2008 Filed under Uncategorized.

The low-down

Simplified, TabIt is Twitter meets del.icio.us. We know that you can post links to Twitter, but what if there was an application that allowed you to easily review all of those thinks that you had posted to Twitter. Well that's what TabIt is!

How it works

TabIt is extremely similar to Dan Cederholm's foamee application. You simply send a reply using the @username code followed by the URI of the page you want to save. You can even follow it with a message! Featuring a small, simple interface with full iPhone compatibility, TabIt will, hopefully, be a simplified version of the ever-popular del.icio.us.

The social aspect

TabIt will feature a homepage that, if logged in, will allow you to view your friend's bookmarks, an archives of both you and (Optionally) your friends' bookmarks. Another feature will be a list of the top 20 most popular bookmarks along with some random bookmarks.

When does it come

I hope to launch TabIt some time this weekend.
