Not sure about the new RT on Twitter. If someone retweets something, that user and tweet will show up in my timeline. It shows who retweeted and a different icon. Interesting idea, but not sure I like it yet.

We had an apple crisp party last night. 5 pans is a lot of apples. Luckily we had a peeler machine. The secret to delicious apple crisp? Brown sugar in the topping and you have to cook it in a glass baking dish. Metal non stick ruins it.

This is big. It gives people with facebook fan pages a way to target messages to fans. I have recieve messages sometimes for an event that is in Las Vegas and I am in Seattle. These are only slightly annoying, but after a hundred of them... This will give brands to opportunity to control and tweak messages for specific groups of people.
Here's the Facebook post.

I saw a Tweet about getting free software, so I checked out this link. By tweeting about the deal, you get a free copy of Voices for the Mac.
You enter your Twitter name, send out your tweet, and then they show you the avatars of everyone else who had done the same thing.
Pretty slick and easy marketing. A great example of how to use social media in your marketing efforts.

I went to the SimpleSlice presentation today put on by the BYU Marketing Club. It was pretty good. It would have been awesome for people who are not really into the Web 2.0, social media, scene. However, I worked for Fresh Consulting (http://www.freshconsulting.com/) over the summer so I was pretty well exposed to this stuff.
I did learn about a couple of cool new tools.
tweetfeel.com tries to figure out if tweets about any topic are positive or negative.
It didn't give me results on several subjects that suprised me (nothing on Obama? really?) but it was another data point to use.

This post explains how to do it. Basically you copy certain Quartz effects into the right folder. Remove the 5 lines prohibiting them from running in the 2 programs, and then have fun!Fun and doesn't take that long.

I've been posting a lot of movies lately, maybe because there is actually some good movies coming out.This one looks great.
Not the same as a Pixar movie, but they seem to be stepping up their quality and storytelling quite a lot.

Cape Verde, where I lived for 2 years, splits off of Portugal at around 2:58. Very interesting visualization.

Kinda scary but I love this commercial. I actually looked it up on YouTube to see it again. That is good advertising. Oh and Auto-Tune claims another victim.

My Sounders are out but I was surprised to hear that RSL is in the final on the 22nd of Nov. in Seattle. They did this by beating the Chicago Fire in an incredible shoot out. RSL goalie Rimando blocked 3 shots. Crazy. Good Luck RSL!
