What The Trend? explains why something trends on Twitter search
If this didn’t exist, then somebody would make it. I wonder how long until Twitter just goes ahead and makes something like this for themselves, instead of using another, unaffiliated site? Seems a useful extension of their real–time search product, to me.
Google adds Hot Trends into Search
Always nice to see something useful added to Google Search results. While I don’t believe this will hurt the appeal of Twitter’s real–time search, it will help explain why people searched for those results.
QuickCursor
It adds a service to 10.5 and 10.6 that lets you edit text in any application you desire. Useful if you don’t want Safari to crash while you’re working on a long email. I use something similar with Textmate, so I know this will help people out, once they get used to it.
Big Text
Another Text Ascii Art Generator. I don’t know why, but I love these things. The drop–down list is a drag, though.
