Robert Scoble has a post tonight where he says out of the 1,048 blog posts he shared on his link blog, only 490 came from the top 35 blogs.  Well one of the other 558 shared items was a post from this blog.  Though my blog has [...]

Facebook has been upgrading for over an hour now.  I have found myself refreshing the front page over and over to see if it is back.  I guess this means I’m hooked.

Pownce API – Now it Will Get Interesting

var fbShare = {url: ‘http://bennewton.us/2007/07/pownce-api-now-it-will-get-interesting/’,size:’large’}

Pownce announced on their blog today that they will be releasing a public API.  I think this will catapult them past Twitter and Jaiku.  The following they have will mean a huge amount of apps available right away and I am sure some will mirror Twitter and [...]

Fancy Upload and Classic ASP

var fbShare = {url: ‘http://bennewton.us/2007/07/fancy-upload-and-classic-asp/’,size:’large’}

I have spent tonight getting FancyUpload using MooTools to work with a Classic ASP upload page instead of a PHP page. The more I do stuff like this, the more I want to switch to PHP. However I did manage to find a way to [...]

I was on Pownce for the first time this week to see if it was still kicking and there was Robert Scoble, not even 10 posts down.  Now I think Robert’s great, but there must be 3 or 4 of him, because he’s everywhere.  So his post [...]

I’m sorry, I just don’t get it.  I have been on Pownce for about a week now.  I have tried to use it and understand why this is so ground breaking.  It’s a nice looking site and all, but why would I want to join a [...]

At The Police Concert, iPhones-a-plenty

var fbShare = {url: ‘http://bennewton.us/2007/07/at-the-police-concert-iphones-a-plenty/’,size:’large’}

I went to The Police Concert in Miami last night.  First, let me say how incredible the concert was.  Those 3 guys can put on one hell of a show.  Crystal clear sound, great seats, great crowd, great weather, by far, the best concert I have [...]

I have extra tickets to The Police concert tomorrow night at Dolphin Stadium.  I was going to sell them online, but I sat on them until yesterday because frankly, I didn’t realize the concert was tomorrow.  I planned on selling them on StubHub.com and found out after [...]
