Pocket Communications provided Social Media Club RGV with some cool bags and hats to give away at our meetings as door prizes. My friend, Maricela De Leon, pictured here, is organizing a school supply drive for the children at the elementary school in San Carlos. I decided to regift the bags to the drive so that they can pack the school supplies in them. Maricela was very excited with the donation. I wish I could take credit; but, Pocket Communications deserves the credit for their donation to SMCRGV. We are simply re-routing to where the bags will do the most good in the community. So, thanks to Pocket for their generosity. Posted by Shaine Mata Posted via email from Shaine's posterous postings

The Computer Art Print Buy at AllPosters.com Twitter used to offer the ability to use Google Talk to interact with your Twitter stream. If you are a recent convert to Twitterianism, you may not know that this was an option once upon a time. It offered the convenience of having your Twitter stream on any computer without installing an application. You could simply log into your Gmail account and start twittering via GTalk. There is a way that you can still post via GTalk; but, it's not a perfect solution. GTalk as a Twitter client had its limitations. For example, you could not retweet with the push of a button. You could not look up profiles, you could not reply to a tweet directly, and many other things that Twitter clients do. It was not perfect; but it was lightweight and almost instant.
