iPhone iPad Summit: Twitter Contest »

Retweet this message to have a chance at winning a free ticket to the online iPhone iPad Summit on August 25 (regularly $179). The Summit is a one-day online conference around iPhone/iPad development. I will be speaking about building iPad apps with Sencha Touch, along with:

  • Jonathan Stark, presenting on iPhone offline mode
  • Jesse MacFadyen, presenting on Phonegap
  • Dan Rubin, presenting on Mobile Design with CSS3
  • And many more…

The winner will be chosen at random at the end of the week.

From the excellent crew at Teehan & Lax:


  TweetMag is an iPad and iPhone app that takes twitter feeds and turns them into wonderfully simple magazines. It works by finding links in a twitter user, list or search – then grabs their headlines, abstracts and media to create a TweetMag. Articles then become prioritized by what’s being tweeted about most.


Looks like Flipboard may have beaten them to the punch, but I’m still psyched to get my hands on this.

As messages sent via Twitter cannot be longer than 140 characters, they cannot be copyrighted. However original, witty, or profound they may be, nothing more than good manners protects your original expression of authorship. If you wish to let other people quote or use your Tweets, you need not “license” them; indeed, technically, you cannot license them, since they are in the public domain the instant you publish them.

Who are the 3 'must-follow' authorities on the mobile web?

I’m having trouble cutting this list down to three: Peter-Paul Koch (@ppk), Brian Fling (@fling), Brian LeRoux (@brianleroux), and Jonathan Stark (@jonathanstark).

While it’s true that traffic is now again actually worth something, the give-everything-away-and-make-it-up-on-volume strategy stamps an expiration date on your company’s ass.
