Twitter to kill RSS?

on September 12th, 2008

It’s interesting how Twitter can take over one’s life, in a very short period of time. I suspect this is more true for the SEO/blogging crowd than for “normal” people.

Hi guys, sorry it took me so long to come up with these – I’ve been through a full-blown drama with my website (changed the hosting provider and the registrar, long story..). Anyways, here they are: the Twitter backgrounds to go with my Twitter badges. You can see the first one in action on my [...]
