Tweetr Review

Adobe AIR software that allows peoples using twitter to send and receive message. It allows 140 character or less.

Features :
Automatic url shortening, 3D transitions, new version notifications and font size settings for complicated Asian languages, send files via tweetr, Save webcam photos instantly online to Tw3t.com,long URL’s are automatically shortened via urltea.com, delete your own messages

Installation :
Visit the website, click install and go. First, detect whether ADOBE AIR has been installed in your computer. It takes time to download files from tweetr web site. After download finished, show an installer window, ask you where to put Tweetr files, and done

Usage
Easy, type username and password, push login button.
Fun, type message and enter.
Delete message works here (i can’t delete my messages from twitter website)
Great layout and graphics.

Webcam through tw3t.com
It is fun but has lack in navigational and not many people use this.

Conclusion :

It’s easy and fun using Tweetr, the features also great. Great alternative to mini blogging from desktop. My only complaint using tweetr, they need to limit messages view in the software, if there are more than x messages, a lot easier if there is navigation help (next-previous or 123).

Here is screenshots of Tweetr installation and software ? I recommend you to try Tweetr now

OpenDNS review

I am using OpenDNS, because my curiosity.
OpenDNS claims make Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable. My Internet Connection here already fast, but when many peoples connects, it’s getting slow.
So i try OpenDNS.

OpenDNS is fast and help ‘boost’ our internet connection. But when it comes to features, only phising, block adult sites, stats, typo correction gets my attention. Other feature like shortcuts need an additional setup, when i run a network with many users, tells everyone to setup shortcuts in their browsers are difficult.
Most features set in an OpenDNS account, so if you don’t create an account, you get internet connection booster. But if you do create an account, you get a powerful tool for your internet connection (not just internet connection booster).
