Twitter Users

NOTE to Twitter users: If you would like a link in the Community Color directories, but don't want the hassle of joining the site, simply follow either of the accounts CommunityColor or yintercept. If there is a relevant website in your profile, I will follow it.

As for the accounts: CommunityColor has updates to the CommunityColor program. yintercept is filled with philosophical musings and Libertarian style rants about national and international politics.

I am only interested in listing local sites:

The goal of Community Color directories is to help promote local web development. These directories are interested in sites from the Mountain West (Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Missoula, Mt)

When a person joins me, I look at their location. If they are from one of the communities served, I then add the link in their profile. I also add links from any of the sites recent posts ... if they are of interest to the community.

Note: I also follow my Twitter DMs. So you can DM me a link. If it is related to the communities served, I will list the site.

If you want a link in the directory, but don't want the hassles of joining the site, just follow me ... yintercept.

Twitter Tip

I just did an experiement: The site Bit.ly makes short urls. For example, the string http://bit.ly/mcSRz leads straight back here.

You can paste the stort string in a twitter post. Twitter will make the shortened URL hot.

Twitter makes any string beginning with www. hot. If you replace the "http://" with "www."

http://bit.ly/mcSRz
www.bit.ly/mcSRz

The new link seems to work and you save three characters ... which is important in a world limited to 140 characters.

PS: I am not with bit.ly and can not guarantee that this hack will work forever. (Back to twitter (twitter links).
