Colin Walker has hit on a good point today – it is fun and energizing to work on a project with someone else, or to riff on another project. I am hoping to get some time in on MyStatusTool today!
MyStatusTool
There are 33 posts filed in MyStatusTool (this is page 4 of 4).
Colin Walker and I have both developed tools for making short posts and following RSS feeds.

Update on MyStatusTool development
Recently I published a roadmap of the major features for a “Twitter using rssCloud” tool that I am calling MyStatusTool. As of this weekend, I have the major pieces in place (have a text box to enter a short post, to create a RSS feed based on the posts, for each post to have a page, to ping a rssCloud server when a post is live, to have the posts be displayed in reverse-chronological order, and to display posts from other tools that create RSS feeds supporting rssCloud). I spent some time looking at integrating Passport.js to provide multi-user capability, but it turned out to be more than just a day’s worth of work. As a result, I am going to push my current version to Github this weekend after writing some docs. More news to come!
