My second iPhone App “SpeedMemo” has been released on App Store. You’re able to download this app here.

Have you ever forgotten important ideas or to-do list? “SpeedMemo” is application specialized in taking the memo fast. You can take memo as soon as it starts up. After you save memo, you can e-mail memo, tweet it to Twitter and save it on Evernote.

It supports the latest technology of Evernote. You know, Evernote launched “Emailing Into Evernote Just Got Better « Evernote Blogcast“. It’ very easy to save everything on Evernote.

Please try this new app and review it if you like.

A happy new year 2010!!!
This blog began last year and I’ve posted some entries into it. It’s not tough for me to write blog in English but it’s really tough to think my opinion in English. When I write blog, I think what to write in Japanese at first and then write it in English with translating from Japanese to English in my brain so far. It takes longer time than blogging in Japanese.
I’m going to change this situation. I’ll complete ‘just thinking in English and writing in English’. I’ll write my blog a few entries a month this year. More entries I write in my blog, more experience I have.
And I got a new communication tool, Twitter last year. I’ve tweeted over 2,500 tweets and gotton over 300 followers for a year. Thanks to my followers for supporting me. So my output tool in English is both Twitter and blog.
I won’t be afraid my mistakes and will publish my opinion aggressively this year.

I’ve noticed that Twitter has launched new function ‘Lists’ from this month. Fortunately I’m able to try the beta preview version of ‘Lists’ on my Japanese Twitter account.

My review of ‘Lists’ beta:

• It’s very easy to create lists and add followers to the lists.
• We are able to add users we don’t follow to our lists. It seems to be great idea but we should think about the meanings of ‘follow’ at the same time.
• We can follow not only the lists others made but also users.
• We see the number of lists including ourselves.
• It’s convenient to create private lists. I’ve already created one as my co-workers’ group.
• How many lists we belong to must be more important than the number of followers.

I’m looking forward to Twitter client software such as Tweetie, TweetDeck. When will Twitter launch it as an official version?

I started my Japanse blog(bluetune) in 2003 when I was a collage student. I’ve been blogging but recently it’s likely to be stopped and restarted. There is a vicious circle that something new like Twitter occurs to me and my blog update is stopped.

I ‘live in’ Twitter the past year and the pace of blogging is getting down. I’ve never felt like updating my blog because I’ve done everything on Twitter instead.

Twitter is usually expressed as “Micro Blogging” and it’s easy to say. I think Twitter is a real-time tool not micro blog of character limits. Tweets on Twitter get feedback on blogs and blogs as well. The circulation that Twiter and Blogs are connected with each other will make many people happy.
I’m thinking about how to use Twitter and blogs after this.
