Tweeps Against New Tweetdeck Icon (mac users)
So after Seesmic rolled out with some new features and being named the “new” twirl it seems like Tweetdeck wanted to up it’s mark and come out with an unscheduled update!
The update came out yesterday and it fixes a number of bugs and adds a few new features including: Facebook integration, a Digg URL shortener, support for Spotify URLs, previewing of TwitPic images inside the app and preview of information about short URLs within the application before opening the link, and 12 second video integration, which allows you to record and share short videos directly from TweetDeck.
Now, I was really excited when TweetDeck rolled out these updates yesterday – minus one un-needed update.
They icon. Who stole the real Black Bird? This new one is definitely an impostor!

Myspace Redesign!
Breaking News:
Myspace has had a complete redesign and will no longer be killing our eyes with advertisements!
They have finally listened to the many complaints of their users and have completely removed ads from all of their pages! Instead they will offer and new premium web experience.
Each profile will consist of a sleek un-customizable design – free of ads, which will also include a new add-ons section – one interesting add-on that caught my eye allows you to listen to your profile comments though a voicemail like service via a personal myspace phone number given to each user using it’s new service, currently in beta “Myspace Phony” The service allows users to call their online and offline buddies for a real life chat rather than chatting through text.

A Passionate Speaker
Had an awesome day at #fowa (the future of web apps conference – for those who don’t know) yesterday which led to a phenomenal ending. Wine Library Tv’s, Gary Vaynerchuck (@garyvee), presented an awesome, inspirational and passionate speech.
I was very fortunate to speak with Gary after the presentation and he gave me a lot of great advice about doing what you’re passionate about and not being fake. He’s a great guy who actually takes the time out to answer e-mails and questions! (Insert Awesome Photo Here)
During his presentation yesterday I used my little buddy (iPhone) to record his speech (iTalk rocks).
Anyway, you don’t have to hear me ramble about what it was about. I’ve added it here for you to hear yourself.
Anyone with two ears and a brain should listen to these.
The Awesome Presentation From The Passionate Gary V.

hi, my name is Lizette Gagné.
My name is Lizette Gagné (pronounced gone•yay – get it right people! No relation to Eric Gagné – sorry – at least not that I know of. Hmm.. something to look into)
At the moment I am writing this and watching this week’s episode of Lost. I tend to multitask a lot. But anyway, on to the juicy stuff.
So, who am I – you ask? Well I’m a Graphic Designer, Web Designer, Filmmaker, soon to be Vlogger, Wanna-be blogger, Obssessed Tweeter, and Independent Seeker.
You’re probably asking yourself, “well what do I need to pay attention to this chic for? What does she have to say that is going to be of any use to me?”
Well, jackass, thanks for stopping by! I’ve got a lot to say – FYI. You wanna know why? Because I’m an average chic that has something in common with everyone of you. I don’t have a closet full of gucci, I don’t know a second language, sometimes I do place e before i, and I’m trying to survive this place called Earth. I want to travel but lack the funds. I work because I have to. I create because I want to. I live in a tiny town full of wanna-bees and two-faced nightmares.
I do have a goal, though: to be heard. I’m tired of sitting around with my mouth shut and not voicing my opinion. I want the world to hear what I have to say.
In a nut shell: I’m trying to make a mark in the world just like ever star-hungry bastard out there.
ALSO: If you’re not listening, I don’t care! I’ll keep talking. (you’re still reading)
Fact: I’m going to use this blog to talk about whatever is going on in my life, things I find interesting and whatever else I decide to throw on here.
So keep checking back for more; and if you don’t, that’s your loss.
