HoN Beta Key Winners!

The competition ended today and I'm proud to announce that we have our winners.

Only 4 people participated, I wasn't expecting more honestly.

The winners are:

Justin - His comment was long and awesome

King - A small comment but a cool one

Roman - A DoTA fan surely deserves a key

I'm sorry Tony but you'll have to agree that their comments were better :) Better luck next time.

You guys should receive you keys in a few hours/days, it depends.

Win a Heroes of Newerth Beta Key

Well, I think every single blog I've read has a nice contest in the middle of all the other posts about random stuff and this one, is no exception!

You've probably already heard of a little game called Heroes of Newerth from the creators of Savage 2, S2 Games. They've made this new game that plays and feels the same as an old Warcraft III mode called Defense of the Ancients. The game has a large learning curve but after some matches you'll feel like you've been playing it for some decades. Oh and I forgot to tell you it's available for all platforms: MAC, Linux and Windows

Anyway, I have 3 beta keys to give ( 2 email invites and an actual key that someone sent me ). To win one you have to leave a comment in this post telling me why you're the one who deserves a key.

It's very important that you leave a valid email in your comment where it says "Email" else I won't be able to send you a key.

Spam comments like "Can I has a beta keye pl0x pl0x? I'm phooooorrrrr pleshhhhhhh" will be ignored and you'll be excluded from the contest immediately.

Good luck to all the participants!!!! If you win I'll send the key and you'll be in a future "HoN Key Winners" post.

The competition has ended!!!!! Congratz to the winners!!!!

Filttr - Twitter Filter

If you follow me on Twitter you'll probably know that I have a lot of followers ( 4000+ ) and you also probably know that's sh*t compared to other people that have millions and millions of followers.

Anyway, having a lot of followers is good but I think that if people follow me I should return them the favor and follow them back. So, yeah, I'm following 4000+ people!

But Twitter is supposed to be useful and not just a big fat piece of spam ( I bet you 5 euros that it will probably turn into one in the following years ) so that is why I like to filter my tweets to see only the ones that matter to me. Of course you could just search for @iphone or @mac but I don't really like that because some of those tweets might not interest me.

So, I use Filttr! This tool allows you to create an alias ( more like a group ) and then add the people you want to receive tweets from.

This tool is still in Beta and it's very slow, it has a few bugs and it takes a lot of memory and processing power because the page is very heavy ( for a webpage! duh! ).

Some other nice features include the conversation view, like Tweetie where you see the original tweet and the the replies, integration with IM and e-mail. It also had it's own client but they removed it because of bugs with the most recent twitter API.

By the time I made this post the login and registration system were down for some reason and they'll probably keep it down for some time, I hope they're actually doing something. That means you'll have to use OpenID.

NOTE: Jeez, Safari still works very bad with blogger! At least now I can check the blog scheme without crashing everything. Does google hate webkit?! Oh wait... they use it for Chrome, nevermind.
