Now, Google+ comments on your Blogger blog

By Vasudev Ram

Just saw the news via an email from Google.

Bringing Google+ Comments to Blogger

Looks like an interesting idea.

Some of the benefits mentioned for this feature:

- View your blog and Google+ comments, all in one place

- Help readers comment and connect with their circles

I enabled the feature for my blog - this one, jugad2.blogspot.com .

Let's see how it works out. There may be a few issues initially, but over time those should get fixed.

6builder.com looks interesting

By Vasudev Ram



Just saw this via Twitter.

6builder.com

Their message or USP (from the site) is:

[ Build Your Twitter Network, Go Viral / Optimize your marketing messages / Identify and engage key influencers ]

There aren't more details on the site, which is in beta. But you can sign up via the site link above or via this referral link assigned to me when I signed up.

Twitter launches clickable "cashtags", like $AAPL or $GOOG


Twitter creates a 'cashtags' feature. It's similar to hashtags, but when you click on one of them, Twitter shows tweets containing that cashtag. So if you click on a cashtag like $AAPL in a tweet, it will show you more tweets containing that cashtag.

Inspired by nature.

Twython - a Python Twitter library

By Vasudev Ram


Twython is a Python library for Twitter. It is written by Ryan McGgrath.

Saw it from my own recent blog post about Twitter libraries.

Excerpt from the Twython Github site:

[ An up to date, pure Python wrapper for the Twitter API. Supports Twitter's main API, Twitter's search API, and using OAuth with Twitter. ]

I tried it out a little (the search feature), it worked fine. It returns JSON output.

The Twython installer (the usual "python setup.py install" kind) also installs the simplejson Python library, which is required, as well as the requests Python library, which is a more user-friendly HTTP library (billed as "HTTP for Humans) for Python, than the standard httplib one. BTW, another good Python HTTP library is httplib2, which was first developed by Joe Gregorio, IIRC.

Fandalism, social network for musicians and listeners

http://fandalism.com/

I don't normally post much about social networking sites, since most of them seem to be aping each other or the biggies.

But I'm making an exception for Fandalism because a) there is an interesting recent thread about it on Hacker News, and b) the site is beautiful.
