Moderate your Twitter feed using TweetRiver or TidyTweet

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Tweet RiverOkay, we all know the power Twitter now wields over unfettered thought on the web. However, if you’re a company who has set up their first Twitter feed, only to find that competitors and those who either hate you or want to see you fail start posting things you might not want your mother to see, then check out two new services that will allow you to moderate Tweets before they hit your feed.

TweetRiver.com recently provided moderation services for the first Twitter conference, TWTRCON, in San Francisco. A few bloggers are already talking about the service.

From their web site:

TweetRiver delivers innovative and exciting solutions for a broad spectrum of companies and organizations. Some customers are simply trying to get a moderated Twitter stream onto their website. Some are trying to redefine how they engage customers from first-touch through customer support.

We know that each of our customers has individual needs. What solution can we deliver for you?

Adobe – Flash Player : Settings Manager

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Did you know that developers creating Flash applications can use the .swf object to store cookies in your browser? These session “cookies” are stored on your computer and can, for example, remember where you left off during your last session.

This is quite useful if you close your browser in the middle of using a Flash application, like a photo book creator or online music sequencer.

The session cookie remembers things like how much of the book you’ve completed, what photos you’ve used and and other important settings. It then restores your session to the point you left off. This is especially useful if your browser crashes while you’re working on something.

From time to time, you may want to dump your Flash cookies. One would think that would be accomplished in the same way you clear the browser cache, which is usually accomplished through the browsers Preferences or Tools panel, but hat’s not the case.

This task must be accomplished online on the Adobe web site using theĀ  Adobe – Flash Player : Settings Manager.

Using the Settings Manager, you can do the following:

  • Specify whether websites must ask your permission before using your camera or microphone.
  • Specify the amount of disk space that websites you haven’t yet visited can use to store information on your computer, or to prevent websites you haven’t yet visited from storing information on your computer.
  • View or change your security settings.
  • Specify if and how often Flash Player should check for updated versions.
  • To view or change the privacy settings for websites you have already visited.
  • To view or change the storage settings for websites you have already visited, or to delete information that any or all websites have already stored on your computer.
