I just actually needed a cool blog-title.

This blog is more just an update on the state of things.

Firstly, yes: Tweekly.fm has of this blog post hit 7500 users. It is also now under 500 00 on alexa ranking. It has grown tremendously the past few months. I am very happy about it! What started as just a simple service I wanted to use on my own in January of this year, is now supporting itself through ad revenue! That is not all though. I am going to upgrading and overhauling the Twitter side of the mashup in the coming month if university work isn’t bogging me down too much. Expect awesome features!

Twindie.net run by me and my bro (well my bro does more work atm) got a redesign and launched its first T-shirt range! It’s dry and lame.

I’m So Nerdy is going slowly at the moment. I’m sensing a redesign possibly and the eventual implementation of categories (and better sharing), but it is a bit low on the priority list. Too much other web and study-related things we are busy with. But please, don’t stop submitting hilarious nerdyness.

We also have a new website in the pipeline that should launch in the coming weeks. We love it.

In music-related news, we are busy with an EP for our project, called Dapper Jump. Expect it to sound like indie alternative rock with electro.

Yes, me and my brother are trying to take over the world.

I haven’t tested Tweekly.fm with OAuth implementation, but by the looks of it, the code looks about right. I’ll probably test it soon. OAuth won’t go live until I am able to sit by and see if all goes according to plan. Tweekly.fm updates runs on Saturday night. I won’t be here to test it and sit around to see that things go down without a hitch. So, the implementation will have to wait a week or two.

I’m also considering moving the updates a tad earlier (can’t find the link now, but Twitter slows down on the hour because of automation services). The other option I’m considering is moving Tweekly.fm to early monday morning and affixing the popular #musicmonday tag to it. It is the spirit of music after all.

I’m also thinking about perhaps purposefully lengthening the script that sends all the tweets. The influx of users looking at the userpages is seriously slowing the server. I could always upgrade the server, but I don’t have the money. Which reminds me, I’m still looking for advertisers! This past Tweekly.fm tweet-run, it got 30000 pageviews alone.

In other news, I’m So Nerdy is going rather well! The nerdy-ness keeps on rolling in!

On the music front, me and my bro have been cranking out some tunes. You can go listen to them on MySpace!

That’s all I have to say for now. Cheers!
