So have you heard of the new service Clicker? Its basically looking to become the on screen guide of your computer and like a DVR where you can go see the new episodes of your favorite tv and web based shows (also music/movies). Seems like a pretty kool concept so check out the video below to get the demo they did at TechCrunch50.
Clicker is the ultimate guide to Internet television. As massive amounts of programming move online, consumers are entering a world of infinite choices, all on-demand. Great! Finding the show you want to watch? Painful. Thousands of episodes from thousands of shows are housed on thousands of different sites, mixed amongst billions of random videos. Clicker culls all broadcast programming, and TV-quality Web originals, from these silos and delivers them in one seamless, organized experience so you can easily find, save, share and even contribute content for any show or episode online.

I have played around with the service a bit since getting my invite and I must say it is pretty nice. It makes grabbing the new episode of that show you like that is not easily found on hulu and gets it to you right away instead of having to click through one of the networks sites.
Would you like to check it out? I got 5 invites. Either shoot me and email with your email address or send me a DM and I will get them to the first 5 who ask.
So recently I wrote about Mention Notifier which is a service that will send you either emails or text messages when you get mentioned on Twitter or you setup a twitter search and the criteria is met which is a really kool service (and they just went real time!) and now they have a new feature to the service…..Twitter list notification!
That’s right the hot new thing on the interwebs are Twitter lists and now by using Mention Notifier you can be notified everytime someone adds you to a list.
Below is an example of what you will see in your email:
@MentionNotifier has found a new list that you belong to. .LAG | Larry Green has added you to technophile Click here to view the list
I must say this is a great way to keep up with who is showcasing your tweets. Great job guys!
Just wanted to say Happy Halloween to all my geeks and feel free to share a link to your costume pics or shoot me a twitpic on twitter. Have a safe and fun one! This year I am going as a killer ninja klown.
So have you had lists on Twitter for awhile? Maybe you just got the functionality and are ready to go list crazy and put them to work for you. Either way there is a new service called Listorious that allows you to search and follow new lists created by users. You can even add your lists, tag them, and share them with others as well. A pretty kool little service for a new feature that I am just loving!
From the website:
Twitter’s new Lists feature allows anyone to curate the real time web. Listorious makes it easy to find the best lists of Twitter users on any given topic, and for list creator to publicize their lists. This site was created using new Twitter List API. Thanks to the Twitter team for their support. Listorious was created by Sawhorse Media in New York City. If you have comments or questions, please email hello at sawhorsemedia.com or contact us on Twitter at @sawhorse. Follow @listorious for site news and updates about interesting lists.

I would say this is pretty dead on!
So one of the Twitter related services that has been on my radar the past few months is Brizzly which to me takes the Twitter service and puts it at another level. It really gives you some features you wont find just using twitter.com and has some features you wont find in other twitter services and apps.
Today Brizzly added another feature to put them even higher up on my kool services when they went ahead and integrated your facebook within the service. Basically once you add your Facebook account to Brizzly its just like you added another twitter account. Just click on the facebook icon and you are in the facebook world….get tired of that and want to go back to twitter….click the twitter icon and bam your back to 140 character goodness.
So far in my early findings it is pretty quick to pull the updates from Facebook but one thing I would love to see is the ability to pull my Facebook groups I have created to better follow my friends. Also at this time I do not think you can add pics or video from Brizzly to Facebook.
This week I wrote a blog post about going back to Twitter.com as my default Twitter client with the help of Lists and Greasemonkey scritps but with the addition of Facebook and when Brizzly is able to full my lists from Twitter with the list API I will seriously consider moving 100% over to Brizzly.
[Invites] Wanna check out all the Brizzly goodness and see what you think of the Facebook integration? I got 10 invites to give out so just DM me on Twitter with your email address and say I wanna check out Brizzly and I will shoot one your way!
Enjoy!
