Welcome to the third of special, longer-than-10-minute reviews from Bird House Rules and in-studio guest Nifty Tech Blog. This time, we get honest and frank over TweetDeck for the iPad. Continuing with an “Old Friends Revisited” theme, Doc Coleman and I air our lack of enthusiasm for the 800-pound gorilla’s latest incarnation.

This episode is part of the Bird House Rules-Nifty Tech Blog miniseries on iPad clients for Twitter. For the next few months, we will be featuring reviews on iPad clients, some of which you might be seeing in the Second Editions of All a Twitter and Sams Teach Yourself Twitter in Ten Minutes!

In the wee-small hours of the morning, Bird House Rules comes back with a series of podcasts all about the iPad. Alongside the Nifty Tech Blog, I review Tweet Flow, an iPad client that keeps it simple.

Hi there! Long time…no podcast.

Not for the want of trying. Just ask @NiftyTechBlog who recorded two shows with me. One was time-sensetive, and that got dated rather quickly. Then we have the second show which is still relevant, but gathering cobwebs and needs to be posted.

So what is holding me up?

Back with another Bird House Rules (and well under that ten minute window), I’m here to talk a bit about the evolution of Follow Friday. what started out as tweets like this…

Follow @digitalsista, a Social Media mistress and resource located here in Washington D.C. #followfriday

…many Twitter feeds are getting hit at the end of the week by tweets that look like this…

@digitalsista @chrisbrogan @geechee_girl @ITStudios @chrisabraham @sigmastudios @dananner @fishdogs @LindaVandeVrede @riznphx #ff

Take a deep breath, relax, and follow me to your Zen of the Follow Friday.

Hey, everyone! It’s another Bird House Rules, and before anyone gives me heat, I went over my ten-minute limit in this episode…by twenty-two seconds. Get over it!

When you hear why I went over, you may understand. You see, I had a problem on Twitter when I unfollowed someone in my feed. Within 24 hours, I received this tweet…

(@TrueConservative) We auto-unfollowed @TeeMonster who stopped following you. www.thew.in twitter tools sponsored by ((insert sponsor here))

…and discovered Thew.in Twitter Tools.

Now those of you wondered why I was so mad last Friday know why. Better grab a flack jacket and a helmet. I’m wound up and I go, go, go, go….

As mentioned in the previous  Bird House Rules postings, Que Publishing has once again featured All a Twitter in Barnes & Noble Bookstores everywhere, and in my response to Que’s “Whatever you can do to get the word out…”query, I feature Michele Price, the host of Breakthrough Business. On her BlogTalkRadio show we talk about Twitter, about my job at Intersections Inc (which you will find out more about later on Imagine That! Studios), and about approaches that go against the grain of the marketing books. We talk about how “old school marketing” just doesn’t work with Social Media, and how businesses need to understand that Twitter (and Social Media, on a whole) is about people.

We had a blast on this interview, and I hope you enjoy the listen. Feel free to comment, post, and share!

No, you’re not seeing things. I’m back, and I’m coming out of the Bird House swinging!

It’s been a long break, the first half of it expected and the other half completely unexpected; and I return to talk about foursquare, Please Rob Me, and the current concern sweeping through the Twitterverse. Adding to the debate of how much information is too much information comes FortheHack and their stand against sharing GPS coordinates for neat-o badges and free stuff from various vendors in the real world. Hear my own view of it from the Bird House and pick up a few twips in this episode on how to stay safe while sharing with your fellow Twitterakians.

Hey, everyone!

Just a quick note that as the Christmas holidays reach a fever-pitch and I continue to dig out the Bird house from the #snowpocalypse of 2009, I am going on a break for the next two weeks. Keep an eye out on this feed for a new Bird House Rules on 4 January 2010. Thanks for listening, everyone. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year’s celebration!
