Most of us have a business card of some type or another.  It might be our personal one or one that the company we work for provided us.  No matter the case, there will always be a time when you run out of them.  You can always order more, but if you run out right before a big trip, you might get the new ones in time.

Posted on 24. Jan, 2009 by Kyle Judkins.

Recently, FriendFeed introduced a feature that allows you to import your Twitter friends to your FriendFeed account.  However, there isn’t a tool in Twitter to import your FriendFeed friends.  Twitter2FF solves this problem by allowing you to quickly add your FriendFeed friends to your Twitter account.

Twitter2FF is extremely easy to use.  Just enter your login information for Twitter and FriendFeed, then Twitter2FF will bring up all of your contacts on both services.

The top of the list will give you the option to subscribe to your Twitter friends, but if you just want to add friends to Twitter, scroll all the way to the bottom of the list.  Here you can just click on the Follow button to quickly subscribe to all of your FriendFeed friends.

That’s it!  You’ve just expanded your Twitter friends.  If you want to expand your friends by one more, follow me on Twitter.

Learn the Basics of Twitter with The Twitter Manual

Posted on 21. Jan, 2009 by Kyle Judkins.

Twitter is the number one microblogging service right now.  It is a great service that lets you quickly connect with lots of people around your town or around the world, but if you don’t know very much about it, you might not be using the service, or you may think it is not worth your time.

I originally thought Twitter would be a big waste of time that would never show me results or give me anything back.  I was completely wrong, as I am a now a Twitter evangelist that spreads the word of Twitter to anyone that will listen to me.

Recently, I came across The Twitter Manual.  It is a great guide for anyone that is new to Twitter.  It provides you with an overview of the service, the reasons to use Twitter and some great tools to make your Twitter experience that much better.  I highly recommend this guide to anyone that doesn’t currently use Twitter.

Don’t forgot to follow me on Twitter!

How To Transfer Photos from Flickr to Picasa

Posted on 17. Nov, 2008 by Kyle Judkins.

Recently, I moved from a Flickr account to a Picasa Web Albums account.  The main reason behind the move comes from the fact that I use Picasa as my desktop photo organizer.  The one thing that kept me from switching earlier was that I didn’t want to have to move all of the pictures I already had on my Flickr account.

After a little searching around the Internet, I found Migratr.  Migratr makes it easy to transfer your pictures from Flickr to Picasa or vice versa.  Let’s look at how easy it is to make the transition.
