I discovered a new Twitter client called Tweetr. Tweetr is available for the macintosh and pc computer systems. Unlike other Twitter clients like Tweetdeck and Twhirl, Twittr has an option to capture an image from your webcam and send a file to somebody.

When you send a file to somebody it wants you to drag and drop a file into the box. Then it will upload the file to tw3t. Once it is done uploading you will be given a link and from there you can direct message your friend and paste the link. Tweetr also has tabs for @ Reply’s and direct messages.

Twhirl also has these options and so does Tweetdeck. Twhirl and Tweetr has one column views so you can read it more clearly. In the Tweetr settings you can change the font but you cannot customize the background colors. Tweetr is a nice client if you want something basic.

It’s pretty neat that Tweetr is available  for the mac and pc’s. Tweetr also uses the Adobe Air just like Tweetdeck and Twhirl. Twhirl also runs on a Mac pc as well but it all depends on what the user prefers  using. I am still using Tweetdeck but that doesn’t mean you cannot give this a try! I think you guys should give Tweetr a try and you never know, you might end up liking it. Below are some pictures of Tweetr.

Hey guys, I am going to tell you guys how to create a really good twitter background. If you have ever seen Bwana’s twitter background I am going to tell you how to do one like his! You can add your website address to your background, add a personal comment to it, add your friendfeed, etc. Your first step is to visit mytweetspace. When you visit MyTweetSpace you  have to select “Brand my profile”.

From there you can select a theme for your background and do other things. What MyTweetSpace is  basically a site where you can customize your twitter background if you don’t know photoshop or gimp. Once you finish choosing your background then you can move on to the next step which is choosing a frame. You can also choose no frame if you don’t want one.

After that your on the final steps, inputting things about you like your name and website. Once it is all completed you will be able to preview your theme and then download it and go into your twitter.com settings next to design you will select “Choose background image” then you upload your theme. Now for an example theme the picture at the bottom is one that I have made.

Today I will help you guys get your pc organized. You probably have your computer cluttered with a lot of files and sometimes its probably hard for you to find what your looking for. In this post I will explain how to keep your computer more organized so you can find items much faster! Right now your folders might have tons of items in it that you don’t know what they are. Here is the simple tutorial.

  1. Try and keep most of your files in your “Documents” folder.
  2. Within the Documents folder create sub folders for example if you do website editing make a folder called “Website editing”. That’s just an example folder.
  3. You can also create sub folders within the sub folders in the Documents folder.
  4. Right click a certain folder and click “Properties” and then click on the “Customize” tab.
  5. Now that your under the “Customize” tab you can set a icon to that folder that is related to what its content are. So if its a website editing folder you can put a picture of a www symbol.
  6. Depending on your operating system you will see a template selector for example “Documents” would be one of the templates.
  7. To get a better view of your files you can right click inside of the folder and select “View” then select “Tile”.
  8. Also you can use the “Sort By” option.

Now just some advice. Make sure you know what you are deleting and to not delete important files. Also you can hold down the “Shift” key and then select where you want a item selection to end if you want to delete multiple folders. You can also press and hold down the control key and while holding it down select multiple folders/items that way.

Thanks for reading,
