			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soon I will be introducing a <strong>free Twitter tool</strong> that I feel will be received very well by the community.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very likely that everything will be ready to launch on <strong>Friday, April 24th</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>I can&#8217;t offer too many details&#8230;</strong> But, it will save some Twitter users lots of time while being quite fun and helping Twitter users to network and find new followers!</p>
<p>This fairly simple web based app can have a variety of uses and has room to evolve with more advanced features still on the drawing board.</p>
<p>The tool will reward Twitter users who share great content and it will help niche communities, individuals and even business to grow their network and expand!</p>
<p><strong>What this new tool is NOT&#8230;</strong> This will not be a full blown twitter app like TweetDeck or Twhirl, nor is it any kind of viral follow scheme.</p>
<p><strong>Please leave a comment below if </strong>you are interested in possibly beta testing or want a <strong>sneak peek</strong> at the new tool.  I will contact you sometime between now and April 24th.</p>
<p>Also, I would appreciate any help to get the word out&#8230;<br />

<p>I am enjoying it so far, please let me know what you think in comments.</p>
<p>A few sections have been updated including my <a href="http://www.markfulton.com/current-projects/">Current Projects</a> and <a href="http://www.markfulton.com/domains/">Domain Portfolio</a>.

<p>New ventures include; <a href="http://www.bumplink.com">BumpLink.com</a> &#8211; a premium technology and business website directory and <a href="http://www.electricwebsites.com">ElectricWebsites.com</a> &#8211; a community blog hub for members of the &#8220;Web Developers&#8221; group in the SecondLife game/metaverse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazingly well designed and edited video for some fresh electronic music.</p>
<blockquote><p>The creation of Parisian electronic masterminds Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay, Justice first implanted their pogo-inducing sound in last year&#8217;s massive remix of Simian&#8217;s &#8216;Never Be Alone&#8217;. While Justice&#8217;s remixing fingers have also moulded the sounds of stars like NERD, Soulwax and Franz Ferdinand, it&#8217;s their critically-lauded new album &#8216;†&#8217; which is causing the most fan-fervour.</p>
<p>The band&#8217;s current single &#8216;D.A.N.C.E&#8217; &#8211; looped around the Jackson 5, chanting-child refrain of &#8220;Do the D.A.N.C.E/1 2 3 4 fight/Stick to the B.E.A.T/Get ready to ignite&#8221; &#8211; sounds like an electro-funk Go! Team shouting orders to the disco infantry.</p>
<p>The &#8216;D.A.N.C.E&#8217; film clip follows two torsos as they charge in circles through a dark club. As they move, their t-shirts act as projection screens for a myriad of evolving graphic prints and patterns created by the art director of Justice&#8217;s label Ed Banger. </p></blockquote>

<p>Whatever you think people would enjoy and get a smile out of&#8230; I don&#8217;t expect them to be 100% professional.  I also don&#8217;t expect you to spend hours on this contest, it&#8217;s just for FUN!</p>
<p>The <strong>overall winner</strong> will get their choice of which icon set to deliver to me.  They will also get an added bonus for boosting their points &#8212;  I will replace my referral link on ALL my websites and social networking sites, including the popular <a href="http://www.virb.com/groups/62500575">Iconbuffet VIRB group</a> with YOUR referral link for the entire month of May!</p>
<p>The <strong>next 5 winners</strong> will be chosen to send me the rest of the Icon deliveries listed above, earning them points for the delivery!  I know it&#8217;s sort of a lame prize but the contest is simple!  If anyone would like to donate additional benefits / prizes for the winners let me know.</p>
