A Contributr Update
April 8, 2008 by Jonathan · Leave a Comment
The Contributr team has been taking a little break recently, and that’s not a good thing. We’re trying frantically to make up time but other commitments got in the way.
Colby Palmer has been working on a complete redesign of the web application and the AIR desktop application and is doing a great job. He’s a great designer and a great guy and we’re glad to have him on our side! The difficult part now is pulling together all of the little bits and pieces before NAB next week.
I’ll be there presenting Contributr to the industry and friends and I’m really hoping we have the new design implemented enough to use it for our demos. It is a HUGE improvement over our first user interface and I’m very proud of it.
Thursday I’ll meet with the Missouri Innovation Center again to look at some of the business possibilities behind Contributr and its market viability as an early-stage startup. I hope that I’m able to take Contributr with me into my next job and continue working and enhancing it for the news media, and the public.
It would be a disservice not to give Contributr a shot and continue development.
So wish us luck as we try to get version 1.1 of Contributr out the door and ready for more widespread testing.

- @ftmedianews would you spend the extra money for an iPhone if it came with unlimited music from the WiFi store? #
- @davidherrold you got that right you do! #
- @guykawasaki you just spit those Alltops out all the time like there’s no tomorrow! #
- @guykawasaki when does the Alltop of Alltop headlines get released? Sort of a greatest hits of Alltop
# - @conniereece you Tweet so often with so many people I can only imagine how crazy it must be to be you #
- @mrpopular you’re following 900+ people with only one Tweet, are you going to be a spammer? #
- @minimage ha! I had a Blackjack for a while so I’ve use WinMob and it was a difficult life… come on over to the iPhone land, u know yo … #
- @shegeeks true, they’re not widgets perse, but I think the interactivity and always-there-ness is what widgets *want* to be. #
- @susanreynolds how many have you nixed so far? #
- @guykawasaki, I bet it does take a fair amount of time to do the research. If you need another helper, look me up #
- @dlpasco Let us know when you get one, I’ve got my application for an application and cert in. #
- @sernovitz I have no idea, but let me know if you do find it, that would be a hugely interesting ‘nugget’ to know how to find. #
- @susanreynolds you’ve got a tough job ahead of you, so much content flying at you all the time! #
- @conniereece I haven’t started using Tweetscan, but I get SMS’s all the freaking time, it annoys the people around me lol! #
- @bananasontoast, I haven’t seen an Overheard as funny as that in a long time #
- @conniereece I too have been hoping for more Mobile controls, like my ‘favorite favorites’ of the 20 people I ALWAYS want SMSs from #
- @conniereece SMSs from the people I most want to hear from, even when sms is turned off from the main ’stream’ that I get constantly. #
- @conniereece My iPhone doesn’t have a red flashing light! lol. It’s usually on vibrate though, it’s only bad when it’s sitting on my desk. #
- @jnil I bet that’s one of the first things that gets created with the SDK, although right now your best option might be HTML? or Email? #
- @jnil It’d be my quick and dirty solution anyway, if you find something else do let me know though
# - @minimage Maybe in July you can make the big switch! #
- @infinitypro Why thank you! #
- Good Morning Twitterville! #
- Busy day working on several projects at once #
- How is everyone today? #
- @rentzsch Yup, I’ve used Time Machine more in the last several months to restore files that I never would have done before. #
- The person i am supposed to be meeting with is 30 minutes late.
# - Just ordered a new 4-core super server with a big fatty Internet pipe for Contributr, this thing is going to be screaming! #

- Syncing up my new iPhone ringtones, made two of them tonight #
- I now have "New Soul" (The Macbook AIR song), and "Perfect Timing" (The iPhone commercial song). Cool stuff! #
- 150,000 spam trackback pings to a site that isn’t even live yet, is this the world we live in? #
- Blocking Spammers and Taking Names! (although I’m using IP banning which is less than a good way to do it) #
- Now down to 6-10 spam pings per minute instead of 100+ per minute yay! #
- Done wiping out Spammers from SmartDecision. Hopefully not too many innocent bystanders got blocked in the process #
- Installing Drupal 6.1 and WordPress 2.5 to play around with on my development server #
- wow it’s taking forever to upload and download these files from the server. Multitasking isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. #
- Still messing around on the Internet, it’s about time to work on Contributr again though. #
- Just finished watching "Little Miss Sunshine". It reminds of a ‘dark’ Chevy Chase xmas vacation type of show #
- @junglemason that’s quite an Overheard, and hilarious too! #

This is a pretty cool idea, they send you an email each week with a shopping list of Kraft products and 5 meals that you can make with those common ingredients.
