I was putting this off for a bit, mostly because I’ve been focusing solely on getting features out. However, I was struggling to get info out there about the new features. So here it is, the idek blog, found simple at b.idek.net.

I’ve already posted the help videos that I previously created. I haven’t gotten a lot of feedback on these videos yet. Is the volume to low? Do you not want to see my mug? Are they helpful? Let me know.

One quick note, as I recently tweeted, idek was just accepted as a source for Twitter. This means that if you tweet from the Tweet it! bookmark, your tweets will show up in the clients as coming from idek. Pretty cool.

If you have any questions or ideas for features, please just DM or @covati

A recent feature that’s pretty exciting is the new Tweet it! bookmark. With this tool you can tweet directly from any webpage, capturing the url via idek and providing your own comment. You can actually highlight some text and that will be automatically included in your tweet as well. For the full skinny, check out this quick video on how to set get tweeting.
