SwitchABit, a Betaworks standalone company will merge with Twittergram, a service created by Dave Winer.

Congrats, Dave. Best wishes for success!

NOW with extra added Pownce.

If you use Twitter, or Pownce, & Flickr, “you can show people where you are, not just tell them”.

Where, how can I do that? At Twittergram flickToTwitter.

Nice proof of concept Dave did for his TwitterGram idea of Twitter meets Podcasting. Some API documentation here.

And Garrick Van Buren has done a web service AppleScript client for Audio Hijack Pro already.

It will be interesting to see how the TwitterGram idea develops. For now, you can create your mini-podcast mp3 (less than 200k), then load it to Twitter at Dave’s experimental Web UI. You can follow the stream of TwitterGrams at Twitter.

A decade of Scripting News. On this day, ten years ago, a weblog named Scripting News appeared for the first time … today (April 1st) its in “retro mode”

I have been reading Scripting News and strolling through DaveNet since 2004. Thanks Dave! Even though you have intimated otherwise, I look forward to the next 10 year celebration. And a personal thanks for the OPML Editor, Uncle Skippy, from a happy member of the peanut gallery.

Best Wishes,
Peggy

Since Scripting News is in “retro mode” today, Dave is blogging on twitter for the day.

What’s hip, what’s new, what is the latest in the blog world. For some long time webloggers, it appears to be ‘giving up blogging’.
Just a sampling, there are many more!

1. Russell Beattie put his weblog to bed.
2. Elisabeth Donovan quit blogging for the Miami Herald.
3. Awhile back Dave Winer of ScriptingNews said he’ll quit blogging (at the end of this year?).
4. Shelley Powers closed the Burningbird. Bye-bye Birdie!

Which of this list is still blogging. Well folks, that is your homework, hence the missing links.
