Yes, I’m on Twitter. I’ve been there for a few years now, and have a bajillion or so followers. I think I’ve now tweeted out around 10,000 different things. Not too shabby, eh? I’m assuming you’re on Twitter, since it seems most everyone is. But do you know who else in your city or area is also running around on Twitter? Do you know how to find them and see what they’re talking about?

If you answered no, then you need to check out Geo Chirp. GeoChirp helps you search for people Twittering for specific things in a specific area. Let’s say you want to find people in your location who are tweeting about the iPhone. Select the area in your map on Geo Chirp, and set the radius to 1-50 miles. Enter keyword iPhone and boom! You have a list of all of the people in your area who are talking about the iPhone on Twitter. This definitely makes GeoChirp the most powerful tool to connect with people of similar interests in a particular geography.

You don’t only have to search your own area, of course. What if you were attending a conference in Texas in the near future, but you live in Oregon? You might want to use Geo Chirp to find out what people in the conference area are talking about, and who the movers and shakers are in that location. Did I forget to mention that Geo Chirp gives you a list of the most popular Twitter users in any given area?

If you want to find out who is tweeting in your area, and what they’re talking about, Geo Chirp makes it exceedingly easy and fast. There honestly is no simpler way to accomplish these tasks. Everyone uses Twitter for different reasons, and there’s no one right way. Try using Geo Chirp to help you find out what’s happening in your area.

Where are you at right this minute? When you travel, do you know where you are? Do you need help getting from one place to another? If so, you may want to pick up a GPS. I have HPs new iPAQ 310 GPS device.

The HP iPAQ 310 Travel Companion is a sleek personal navigation system that provides a unique 3D travel experience. The high-definition 4.3-inch touch screen display and high-performance GPS technology make it as beautiful as it is helpful.
View your maps in 3D for more true-to-life navigation. Locate restaurants, museums, shops and other attractions from millions of points of interest pre-loaded on the device. Put your travel experience in overdrive. Enjoy a fast, immersive navigation experience thanks to the SiRFtitan 600 MHz Dual-Core processor, on a high resolution 4.3-inch touch screen display that provides spectacular visibility.

I have a GPS system built into my car, so I wouldn’t put this unit in my car. However, I will be taking it with me when I’m out and about. This little unit is very easy to use, and works perfectly. I definitely would recommend this family-friendly unit.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
