http://twitterfeed.com I just started using this service a few days ago and am pretty happy with it so far. Do you hate to post to your wordpress blog and then write up something for Twitter linking to the blog and then going onto facebook to again post something that feed back to what you just wrote on your blog? Then you’ll love TwitterFeed because you set it and forget it as it feeds your blog out to both services for you. There are several options to choose from so currently I have it checking my blog every couple hours and I ask it to track the links for me on the dashboard. Very useful tool so far but I don’t see much in the way of other services but I’m sure they’ll com. I’m a big fan of anything that helps automate my message so this service is currently in my bag of tricks.

Alan Petersen talked about adding eBay to your wordpress site and it never really dawned me that it could be this easy but once someone shows you, it’s a no brainer moment…Ugh, why didn’t I find this? I’m a programmer by trade so I remember thinking that it would be good to have this functionality so I’m always looking to build it but there’s just not enough time in the day if you’re trying to run an internet business to build all of these plugins so take the road of do what you’re good at and let others do what they’re good at. It’ll be a win-win for everyone and that’s what it’s all about. The beauty of this plugin is that you literally can set it and forget it, let me know what you think.

Take a look at the picture, Firefox has been turned off for the least 10 minutes but it’s still taking up memory and cpu. My cpu bounces all over the place but what the heck is going on here? Why after 10 minutes are you still in my task manager? I have a lot of windows open so yeah … I’m a bit of power user but should Firefox chew up my cpu and memory all the time? Absolutely NOT, please keep working on it because this browser is an absolute dream for every user who want to be a power user and it needs to move away from the 4-cylinder and move into that powerful v-12 engine.
