Managing this content is not an easy task, but I have simplified it to a casual part of my daily routine, though I do take some days off. I’ve learned to filter out the noise and tune in to information that is relevant and valuable. The reward for curating all this content is a continually expanding reach. I am able to introduce new people to domain investing and web development all the time.

I don’t want to spoil the good thing I have going with the DotSauce profile. So, I am starting fresh with a personal account on @MarkUnfiltered.

Here are a few ideas and goals I have for getting this fresh Twitter profile in motion.

• Share my thoughts on music, movies, media, society and the internet
• Check-ins on location based services
• Contest entries
• Links to geeky, techy goodness
• Promote Electronic / Dubstep music
• Have some real conversations
• Connect with locals
• Follow selected interesting profiles
• Create new and unique Twitter lists

It should be an interesting journey re-discovering Twitter and sharing some of my alternative interests. I’m definitely looking forward to the possibility of actually reading a good portion of Tweets from a new stream.

You’re welcome to follow along @MarkUnfiltered if any of this sounds interesting to you.

How would you do it the second time around? Send me some advice.

Get 3 more suggestions by simply opening each profile in a new tab and following from there.

There will be a point where your interests will diverge, so I don’t recommend blindly following using this method.

Stay tuned for the suggestions feature to be released as a stand alone option where you can search by keywords. It should be appearing on the “Find People” page soon.

This is the coolest, useful app I have ever seen. Yes, Epic Win will soon be found all over your Facebook wall and Twitter stream and you will probably enjoy it.

To sum it up quickly, Epic Win is a social “To-Do” list with virtual rewards. Brilliant!

Developed by Rexbox Productions, Epic Win takes elements from popular RPG games such as quests, loot, stats and experience. I don’t even have the app yet and I’m already itching to get rid of the pile of laundry in my bedroom or finally launch my new project.

Users will create their own real world To-Do list within the app. As items are checked off, a virtual character earns rewards and experience and is presented with the opportunity to announce accomplished tasks to friends on social sites.

Epic Win Coming Soon Trailer

I can tell that Rexbox Productions were paying attention to Carnegie Mellon University Professor, Jesse Schell during his gaming talk at DICE 2010.

Designing Outside the Box

The future of gaming is social, rewards, real life! This Epic Win app is going to be a major winner. What do you think?

I have tried using FriendFeed and have lately been using Ping.fm to automatically save all the links I share on Twitter (@DotSauce) to my Delicious account (and several other networks).

This process hasn’t worked out exactly how I would like it to, until now.

A new Twitter app has launched called Packrati.us that passively saves the links you share on Twitter to your Delicious account. It also has more functionality than has previously been available.

Some key features I have been looking forward to!

• Expand short URLs and save the original URL
• Add tags to your bookmarks by using hashtags
• Selectively save links using a specific hashtag

Now if I could only get everyone who tweets my articles to start using Packrati.us I’ll be featured on the coveted popular links page in no time!

Wishful thinking aside, I definitely recommend you start using Packrati.us if you share links on Twitter. It’s great to have that personal archive and peace of mind knowing your links are stored permanently.

A fully featured Twitter Directory!

The goal of the TweetSocial Twitter Directory is to index all of the best Twitter web apps and tools, mashups, Twitter clients, resources and more all in one location.

Users can search and  browse the many Twitter related categories, select individual favorites, rate, comment, review and share links to the best Twitter tools and resources.

It’s free to submit links to your favorite apps!

Simply register a username at TweetSocial.

I’ve personally submitted the best apps and Twitter tools that I’ve found.  My latest project, FollowLists.com is included in the Twitter Apps category.  It is a newer app that has a few features not yet live, check it out as well.

Stay tuned to the blog for occasional updates on the directory project, TweetSocial and FollowLists!

What do you think of the resources on the Twitter Directory so far?

Your feedback and submissions to the directory are greatly appreciated!

We’ve received positive feedback and lots of suggestions, many of which we will implement soon.
