Since the late 1960’s very bright people have pushed their intellect and creativity to the limits in an attempt to create a machine that could actually think.

IBM’s Big Blue may have beaten Russia’s Kasparov in chess along the way - but as we find ourselves in the sunset months of the first decade of the 21st century computers are still computational devices based on math. They are incapable of reason despite incredible leaps in software and processor speed.

Today I decided I better get into the Twitter scene, so I decided to find some AIR applications for it. To my surprise, I found 8 AIR applications for Twitter. Do you have recommendations on which one is the best?

I guess this explains the problems we have been having with our Twitterment search engine for Twitter: Amazon S3 Down.

Here at Ebiquity, we’ve had a number of great grad students. One of them, Akshay Java, hacked out a search engine for twitter posts around early April last year, and named it twitterment. He blogged about it here first. He did it without the benefit of the XMPP updates, by parsing the public timeline.

The Personal Democracy Forum is sponsoring a twitter debate tonight on “technology and government” between representatives of Barack Obama and John McCain to be moderated by Time magazine blogger Anna Marie Cox. A note on PDF has the details:

Phoenix is even carrying on conversations with some of its more than 10,000 followers.

I’ve had my iPhone for a few months now and it has seen lots of use. I’ve carried it in my pocket everywhere I go, including on almost daily three-mile walks where it doubles as an iPod. It served as my pocket journalist and photographer at SMX West and it has been my personal and business telephone (no more land line for me).

With the Internet acting more like a handy local area network, surfers need to be more aware of protecting their privacy.

Remember MTV? Not the also-ran cable channel we have now with its bad reality shows, made for TV movies and music documentaries. I’m talking about MTV when it really was Music Television.

Can it be true? Russell Beattie posts that on Twitter there are nearly a million users, and no spam or trolls. Spam does exist on Twitter, of course, but it does seem to be less of a problem than on the Blogosphere, Web or email. Maybe it’s because that search engines don’t treat tweets like Web pages or blog posts.
