Twitter is not exactly the most productive web app out there, but there are some good reasons to use. Sometimes you want to post more than what you are up to at the moment though, maybe that recent blog post that you found interesting. If you use Google reader to follow your RSS feeds then this handy little Greasemonkey script will help you do just that. Simply install the script and when you log in to Google Reader you will see a little Share on Twitter link. Click it and a window will pop up and ask for your twitter username and password. Once you get past that log in to your Twitter account and there at the top of your timeline will be the article that you posted.

Google Reader + Twitter

Happy Twittering!

Some of the posts in the near future will be old news. I hope you’ll forgive me but some cool things have popped up since I last posted. Anyway….

I was very excited when I woke up on one Wednesday morning about a month ago. The day I had been waiting for had finally arrived. Google had allowed calendar syncing directly with the Blackberry calendar. This development gets me one step closer to mot having to plug my Blackberry into my computer to synch my info. Fortunately the only remaining feature that I need is contact syncing and my contact data doesn’t change all that often.

Anyway, if you carry a blackberry and have been longing to sync your Google Calendar directly and over the air, head over to Google and download this great little app and start getting in sync. click on this link on your Blackberry browser: mobile.google.com and then select Google sync.

Hopefully contact sync won’t be far behind. Once I have over the air sync of contacts, I’ll have the perfect poor man’s Blackberry Enterprise Server. With Gmail’s super fast delivery to the Blackberry, it’s nearly the same level of service, seriously.

 Note: I just discovered that I never published this, so here you go.

One of my favorite web apps, Google Notebook, recently added a mobile version of its website. Google Notebook is great because it allows you to save web content and other text in an easily searchable personal website. There is a nice Firefox extension that allows to copy info directly into the site. The mobile version doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that the full version does, but it’s huge that you can now keep all of your notes (to-do lists and reference data) on your mobile phone.

To check it out go to http://www.google.com/notebook/m on your mobile device.
