I found this in Mike Elgin’s Raw Feed. I’m sorry – but if you’re in a gang called Original Young Gangsters, even if you go shoot someone over what they said on Twitter, you’re neither Original nor Gangster.  You’re just young.

You may have noticed the lack of updates here. Several reasons for this. Chief amongst them is the fact that I've been increasingly busy with Mashable's new video podcast series, which is getting better and better by the episode (we're already worlds better than episode number two, which is the first episodes that I produced end to end). In other news, I've been busy on projects away from Mashable,...

Hey folks. There's a lot of folks who've Direct Messaged me lately on Twitter. I'm real sorry for not getting back to you. I'm used to Twitter sending me my DMs via Twitter. Unfortunately, I've been missing them all since Twitter's IM functionality has been all goofball for a good long while. You probably know this. At any rate, apologies go out to @technosailor, @duncanriley, @markdykeman, @patrickruffini,...

I've been tasked to look into Kyte over at Mashable in connection with one of our side projects. I used the product a long time ago, and I'm sure the service has changed radically since then. The last time I used it, it would crash my browser half the time, and the other half, it wouldn't really play anything resembling video. None the less, it sounded like an interesting concept at the time. At...

My site (rizzn.com, for those of you viewing this somewhere else), is undergoing some major changes. Robert Scoble, a few days ago, was talking about his diminished influence via his blog somewhere (probably FriendFeed). That got me to thinking of the value of my personal domain simply displaying only my blog content and a list of headlines of what I write at Mashable. My personal influence is distributed...

Hey Rizzn-ites, This is a broad topic, really. Someone brought it to my attention this evening that I do an awful lot of evangelizing for Twitter amongst my friends and associates, and I haven't really explained it very well to my inner circle. Essentially, twitter is what is called "Status Micro-blogging." Don't worry. The term didn't make much sense to me either. I remember being in an airport...

Hey Rizzn-ites, This post goes out to the developers in my audience that are Twitter-heads. I really love the new Twitter "track" feature. In case you haven't checked it out yet, basically, you type "track [keyword] into Twitter, and it'll alert you whenever a new twitter containing that is mentioned by anyone on twitter. I've been noticing my tracks have been wiped out a couple of times - not sure...

I'm running up on the end of my day, and I don't think I'll have enough time to really give this topic the amount of time it deserves, so I'll bottom line it up front, and then go into more depth until I absolutely have to leave the office and head home: I like Twitter. I won't go into the whole history of how this stupid little service became popular. You can find a hundred other blog posts that...
