24 Feb 09 Goals for 2009

As I’m nearing the end of February, I decided to  think about some goals I have related to my web projects. Considering that I am studying full-time, I don’t really have the time or resources to invest in large-ish projects (2 or 3 in my head). So instead, I am going to focus on creating simple web services (will mostly be mashups) that *I* would like to use. I am working on the basis of “If I like it, then someone else would”. I don’t need to worry about money just yet.

Considering that I am going to create several small projects, I am going to try and start a proper “shotbeak” brand so that my services become easily recognisable. In other words all services will be hosted on shotbeak.com and will contain a logo to show it is a “shotbeak” project. Would be quite interesting to see if it gains traction.

I’ve made 2 projects this year so far:

Tweekly.fm - A service that gathers your weekly last.fm data and sends it as a tweet every week.

Muse Lyrics - If you are a fan of the band Muse and have Facebook, you can add this application to add any lyric/line from any Muse song onto your Facebook profile.

I want make at LEAST 2 more mashups/web projects this year. I can see that one of them will include twitter integration. I love using twitter as part of a mashup because it serves as a great backbone to “disperse” data.
