Legend has it that “ugg” is short for “ugly” – so, “ugg boots” apparently meant “ugly boots.” For decades, “ugg” was generic term used for sheepskin boots made in Australia.The word was so commonplace that it was found in Australian dictionaries, and ugg boots were also known as “ug” or “ugh” boots. But in the United States, when people refer to “UGG boots,” they're usually talking about the boots made by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, the parent company of “UGG Australia.”So if you're traveling the world and talking about footwear, it's good to know that when the term “ugg boot” is used, it could be referring to an Australian-made sheepskin boot, or a popular brand name boot.

I really like foursquare, as I'm sure you could tell during the Predators game last night. However, I keep forgetting to update the darn thing whenever I go somewhere!
I am slightly concerned that my Twitter followers will get annoyed by 4square location announcement spam. Have you run into that problem, Dave?
Thanks. Nobody has complained yet, but I don't always tweet my
location. You can choose not to if you prefer.
When I come accross people with too many follows and not enough followers, I send people to this post. It's the best post on the subject I've found anywhere.
Thank you very much Tom. I really appreciate that.
Cheers,
Dave
Dave, nice spotlight. I appreciate that you point out the high points in our social media landscape and don't just rant about negative experiences. It's refreshing!
It's also refreshing how well they've got this part of their marketing together.
Side note: the waveup.org group is planning the next event. I'll try to remember to add it to the tech calendar you've setup. Cheers.
Thanks Nate. I'd love to learn more about the WaveUp group.
Cheers,
Dave
Poor spelling and extreme brevity brought to you by iPhone.
http://www.davemadethat.com
Looking forward to it Dave. Thanks for all you do in getting this community knitted together!
Thanks Justin, but I can't take credit for something that would never happen
if it wasn't for all of the volunteers and organizers.
Plus, it would suck if nobody showed up
So THANK YOU!
I appreciate that you point out the high points in our social media landscape and don't just rant about negative experiences. Thanks for a useful information.
Thank you.
You can go into settings and uncheck boxes that notify when you've unlocked a badge or become Mayor, etc. I did that because I felt I was spamming my Twitter and Facebook streams too much. I still share my location.
I had to do something similar last year. I update my Twitter status a lot, and it was being sent to my Facebook feed. I got some complaints from genuine friends, and I figured it was worth it to disconnect my Twitter feed from my Facebook feed.
As alway, YMMV.
Good point Daniel, thanks.
You can also use
http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/ to post directly from
Twitter to Facebook when you use #fb.
LinkedIn also can be configured this way using their built in setting.
In that case you use #in.

That's really refreshing to know that people care. I work for Trianz and we're making a plan right now for the homeless too, hopefully by next year we'll have the project up and running.
Please keep me posted about it Dennis.
Hey Dave: So is Tumblr an aggregator? Another feeder? I'm still looking for a clear differentiation as to why and how Tumblr fits into my already too-full plate of updating/posting obligations.
I have been thinking about using them for a site. I like that you have the option to use a regular domain name instead of a Tumblr address.
Hello my name is Dave, and I love Tumblr!
If that's how you feel then you don't need it. But yes, you can inport
several feeds into it, or simply blog with it if you prefer.
However, I recommend WordPress if you want to go for normal blogging.
Cheers,
D
Yes, it's a great feature.
I have two Tumblogs. One is for my daughter (3 weeks old). We post pictures and updates so family and friends can see her grow up. Easy to do with the iPhone when we're out an about. A friend (who is location independent) and I also share one to post links, quotes, etc. We each read lots of different blogs, so it's better than sharing in a reader or emailing.
That's a great idea! That way you can password protect it if you don't want
to share it with the public. The quote feature is a GREAT one for your kiddo
once she's speaking. That's such a great idea.
Congrats on your 3 week old too! Enjoy the time, it goes by fast. Mine are 3
and 4, they rock!
i have built an app that gives you unfollow recommendations based on many criteria.

i hope you find it useful
Thanks. I'll check it out.

I've been working on a personal theory for a while, which is this: No matter how old or young you are when you die, you'll feel like you've led a complete life.
I suppose it's a corollary to the NPR story.
Nerd alert: This also ties into the whole JRR Tolkien/Middle Earth thing about the multi-hundred-year-old elves feeling like the lifetime of a human was barely more than the blink of an eye. Which I suppose just shows that Tolkien understood the principle as well as we do.
I was just having this conversation with someone else yesterday. It's amazing how, when I was younger, I would sit and stare at the clock in a classroom and time would move so incredibly slowly. Now I only wish I could spend an hour staring at a clock. My days get away from me quicker and quicker each day. That's a very cool experiment, BTW. I'll give it a try when I get home.
I guess he was on to something, eh?
I'm not sure about your complete life theory though. There are many who
won't do what they truly want to do, for fear more than anything else. I'd
like to hope you're right though.
Let me know what you find Kenny. Thanks.
Dave, I know that life seemed to really speed up for me when I got out of college. My theory is that in our younger years our lives are pretty much wrapped up in school and school activities. Everything doing with school is measured. Which classes you have that day, how many hours are you carrying a week, how many semesters you have to go in college, etc.
Time for us at that point is measured so we are more aware of it. Once you get out of school these measurements are now gone so we have nothing to base our time on. Interesting stuff, will be nice to see everyones takes in your comments.
Thanks Matt. Interesting theory.
MarcoFollow.com will do that for you automatically. The goal with this service is to have you concentrate on tweeting instead of searching.
Interesting. Thanks.
Didn;t Roy Schneider promote the 60 second trick in Blue Thunder?
Oh! I need to see that again.
