Twitter SMS back in Canada?
Feb 19th
Developing…
I was sitting here doing some reading when all of a sudden my cell phone beeped signaling a new text message. Looked down — it was from Twitter!
It’s been about 2 months since Twitter discontinued outbound SMS messaging to Canadian cell phones because of high fees being charged back to Twitter from the providers.
Apparently I’m not alone. A quick search shows others are getting messages now too.
If you are — which provider are you on? When did you get your first message?
I’ll start… Sasktel and 6:23pm CT.
Viewers also bought…

I’m back from visiting Mickey, Donald, Pluto, et al.
Until I can muster up a real blog posting… check this out. You’ll smile.

Tuesday’s Digital Finds
Feb 3rd
To start off with, my buddy Tim Stone at C95 was blasting this in his office the other day while working on music logs.
The group is Justice. The album is called Cross. Yes… it’s 4 years old. Far be it for me to pretend like I’m discovering it… but it sounded awesome. The whole album is solid and I am now officially a fan.
Also on the interwebs, a TV show I used to watch when I was much younger (oh… in my early 20s) has now found a new life online. MTV’s Undressed was kitschy to some, sleazy to others, and just plain fun for folks like me. The story lines are hilarious… the acting is so-so… and the show is solid. One episode per week is now being posted at UndressedTV.com.
Finally, as you might have gathered by now I’m a huge fan of Twitter. Well, now you can track my stats (and those of others) — seeing just how often we tweet, and what we’re tweeting about. Check it…
That is all.

Brilliant marketing ploy by Pepsi to place these spots during SNL! At first, I thought NBC had a network issue and I had missed something… so I rewound the PVR and checked it again. Very impressed.
This, my TV-commercial-producing friends, is how you survive the PVR.
Not once was there a beauty shot of a product. Not once was there a slogan plastered on the screen. Not once was there an address or a telephone number.
Man… I’m kinda craving a Pepsi right now…
