Pic.im - better image sharing service for Twitter
Just wondering why many people don’t use Pic.im. IMO it is a better image sharing service for Twitter than Twitpic. Some of its cool features include:
- Detailed visitor statistics
- Shorter URL’s
- Integration with Flickr (automatically posts your images to your Flickr account if you want to)
- Has an iPhone app [iTunes link]
It is a sister service to Tr.im - so if you have an account with Tr.im, you can use the same login. Now, Tr.im is another cool URL shortening service I like much because of the cool visitor statistics. Also, I just came to know that they belong to the Nambu network - creators of the Mac twitter client - Nambu.

Things vs The Hit List
I had been craving for a decent app for managing and scheduling my tasks forever. As soon as I got my new mac, I was constantly searching for one. Until one day I found what I need - Things by Cultured Code. Things really does give, what all of us have been whining for. As they say, it simply just makes you forget your tasks giving you the piece of mind that it will remind you of them at the right time. Also, having bought the Things for iPhone, it was very easy to create or strike off tasks on-the-go. Now, I feel I’m more organized. Kudos to GTD.
Recently while checking out the new task management app for the mac The Hit List, I found more ways to make use of it. It looked pretty sleek and the main advantage of it over Things is that it makes it more easier to manage your task - with easier and better usage of tags and contexts. Also I think the way Hit List segregates tasks into sub tasks is a better implementation of GTD. Of course you can do this with projects in Things but THL makes it more lucid. The keyboard shortcuts in THL makes it more deserving. Now I’m confused which one to use. The lack of an iPhone counterpart sure does make a difference but the developers have promised to deliver one very soon - however, there is not one right now. So I think I should just stick with Things at the moment.
Something that annoys me about ‘Things for iPhone is that it does not sync automatically with the desktop. It syncs every time you start up the app on your iPhone and the irony that it does not sync back again after you quit the app - leaving un-synced tasks on the iPhone - fail !! Hopefully, with the much anticipated Push notification service on iPhone OS 3.0, this should be possible.
