Number 9 Dreamforce

Number 9 Dreamforce

By John Taschek on August 31, 2011

Tweet Blender Wins Over Twitter’s Own List Widget – For Now

By Zoli Erdos on November 2, 2009

CloudAve readers can now follow the contributing bloggers’ twitter stream in a sidebar, thanks to a cool widget called Tweet Blender.   Finding it was not easy: I combed through at least 100 plugins / widgets, all doing essentially the same: follow a person, or do keyword search.  Either or.. not both.  And definitely not a […]
