Chris McGinn posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about how you can update multiple social networks at once!
I knew it had to exist–A way to update all of your social networks via a single site. I’m sure there have to be others but I found Ping.fm via Geek Sugar.
You can update up to 30 different social network sites like Twitter and Facebook via text or email to the Ping.fm site. Can you imagine the time-savings if you have multiple accounts?
This might be enough to make me jump into the Twitter-sphere.

The Ultimate in Lazy
Chris McGinn posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Learn how you can Twitter through a phone call.
So you can’t bring yourself to type 140 characters into Twitter. Now you can phone it in–literally!
Tweetcall lets you leave a message that is converted to text and posted to your Twitter account. Just call 1-877-TWEETCALL and leave your message. It’s free.
According to the website, your tweets are accuracy-checked by real people lest your message be misinterpreted.
“TweetCall is powered by Quicktate’s highly accurate transcription service, which uses humans to proofread all messages for proper syntax, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation before they are submitted.”
This could be a good option for people who aren’t tech savvy but still want to be in touch or people who can’t type for whatever reason.

Robots and Us
Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about an interesting experiment involving people and robots in NYC.
This is probably the best idea ever. Not only does it exemplify disposable tech, it’s also incredibly amusing.
Tweenbots is a project by Tisch ITP students at NYU . The idea behind the project is to examine people’s relationships to space and how they interact with what they find there. Armed with a cardboard covered robot and a video camera the experiment is pretty excellent.
The web site has the cutest video of the little robot in Washington Square park and shows both the great people who help it along and the wary people who take a step away. The trick is the robot can only move forwards and absolutely depends on the help of strangers to get to its destination, the other side of the park.
Due to the unanticipated success of the first project other tweenbot scenarios are under development, including other traveling bots and a few that are left about the city with “family” phone numbers to call if they are found. I’d help out if I lived in New York City, I only wish I was capable enough to build my own robot in the first place.

Cell Phone Building Blocks
Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about how legos now make cell phones.
I love my cell phone, I need it, but (despite the necessity I feel in my own life towards owning one) I don’t feel like little kids ever need them. Seriously, ask the teacher if you need to call home, ask a friends mom, learn social skills, there’s no need for texting before you hit middle school.
Well, doesn’t matter what i think, Alcatel and Lego have teamed up to do just that, get kiddies connected. A lego styled cell phone makes perfect sense when you market it towards kids, but I don’t know that it’s necessary. I know quite a few adults who’d love to get their hands on a lego cell, but we’ll see what happens. The phone is slated for a summer release.
I don’t know who will end up with the phone actually in their pocket, but I can only hope it’s a bunch of us immature college kids and not second graders.
