Tweekly.fm

Alrighty. I’ve changed the name of TWAT to Tweekly.fm. I had a “slight” misconception to what the word actually meant. #fail. I knew it was a derogatory term, but not sooo derogatory/vulgar.
So. I’ve changed it to Tweekly.fm. For those that don’t know. Tweekly.fm is a service that takes your weekly played artist data from last.fm and sends it as a tweet.
Alongside the name revamp, I spruced up the site, got the ads working, added a manual “tweet” feature and set up a special twitter account for Tweekly.fm. Follow it.
There you go. 
TWAT is up again.

A silly/stupid MySQL error caused TWAT to not work the past 5 days. It has been fixed, so if you wanted to add it, please do so again!
Cheers.
2 years and still going.
So, I’ve been blogging now for 2 years. On 9 January 2007 I created this blog (which then resided on shotbeakgames.za.net) to detail my blabberings on indie game development. 2007 was full of that. I was heavily into indie game development. 2008 was the year I started university and thus I neglected my game dev and found a new passion, web development. Most of 2008’s blogging was about not blogging.
If you read my 1st post many of the ideas I had regarding indie game dev holds true to web development too in this age.
I was talking about how you get two types of developers. Those who do market research and develop a massive money munching website and people like me who at the moment just develop what I want. I made Roach Toaster years back because it was a game I wanted to play. I made TWAT (a last.fm and twitter mashup), because it is something I want.
And the last lines still hold true. Why should I cater for an audience when I can create my own?

So, what do I plan to do in 2009? I’m loving the opportunity that mashups provide. You create an application/service that has an instant userbase. It provides functionality. So 2009 will probably be year for more mashups from my side.
On the music side, I still want to know why I’m getting so much hits for my song Crag from Baidu… If only I knew Chinese and could get into Baidu. >_<
TWAT – Top Weekly Artist Tweet is a go.
My last.fm and twitter mashup is done! I call it TWAT. or Top Weekly Artist Tweet. If you sign up to TWAT, it will send a weekly tweet listing your top 3 artists with their playcounts from last.fm!
Add it now if you are an avid twitterer and last.fm user.
So, now I’m off doing some promotion of it.
Tomorrow, I’m going to start working on finishing up my facebook application.
I’m loving it.
