A Poem I Wrote

This is a poem that I wrote fr a school project. This is a found poem that I made from quotes collected from the Diary of Anne Frank play.

"Thin Air"


"Going through times of despair.
Like vanishing into thin air.
Though it is comforting to think we have protectors out there.
Writing my story in fear.
My heart is vanishing into thin air.
Bringing out all the things bundled in my heart.
You never lose your temper.
Though I am jealous of you.
I want to think our protectors have never lost.
Vanishing into thin air my heart in despair."


Please comment and let me know what you think.

TXTB.IN


Did you know that there is a service out there that will allow you copy and post text to share anywhere in the world. The site is called TXTB.IN. Go Here. When at the site you are presented with a very easy to use interface that will allow you to type in any amount of plain text that you would like. Once you are done typing you can save the text to a web page. The site will then give you a URL that you can give to anybody. When you go to this page you can see what you have just typed. I found this helpful in order to make longer twitter posts that would exceed the character limit. Also if you have some text one one computer then you can copy it to this site got to that site on the other computer and open the URL so you can then have access to the text.

Thank you fore reading! Please comment on the post.

Tweet Deck


Tweet Deck is a free cross-platform application running on the Adobe Air platform that allows you to manage your twitter account. You can download Tweet desk here: Click Here. Tweet deck stands out from the other application because it allows you to open up different lists in the one window. What you can do it take all of you followers and add them to their own category. So for example if you wanted to put two lists there tech and news; you could filter the users to fall into their own lists. Lets say you are following Chris Pirillo, FOX, Leo Leporte, and CNN. You could put Chris and Leo into a tech list, while FOX and CNN are in the news list. There are endless possibilities with this. You can still display the normal timeline of course.So if you like to stay organized then you might want to try Tweet Deck. Watch the video at the top of the post to see this application in action.

Please comment. Let me know what your favorite Twitter client is.

NOTE: TweetDeck is still in beta. You will have to sign up in order to get the app.
