Links for the month of March.
Here are a few links of interest to the folks who read my books and articles or watch my training videos.
- 10 Features That Will Make Twitter Better – A wish list of features that should please any hardcore Twitter user. On SixRevisions.com.
- Exporting 720p from iMovie ’09 | Video | Mac 911 | Macworld – Excellent article by Chris Breen outlining a problem and workaround for de-interlacing 1080i HD video from iMovie ’09. Thanks to @JeffCarlson on Twitter for the link.

- Explaining Twitter to Grandma Rose – This explanation is pretty good, although I know my grandmother (who is no longer with us) wouldn’t have understood. By Hildy Gottlieb.
- Jim Cramer smackdown includes talk of Apple – This is the kind of stuff that needs to stop. As an Apple stockholder and user of Apple products for over 20 years, Cramer's attempt to manipulate Apple's stock prices makes me sick. What other companies are being screwed over by people like him? How much money have innocent investors lost? On TUAW.
- Apple – Support – Discussions – Converting AVI files – Having trouble getting video clips into iMovie '09? ricktoronto provides some advice in this Apple support forum thread. Worked for me, although I still had a few questions.

- We found the chip inside the new iPod headphones…but is it DRM? – I'd like answers to the questions in this post. On Boing Boing Gadgets. Thanks to @danfrakes for sharing this link.
- Apple, vendors confirm iPod headphone-chip rumors – This is not the kind of information I want to read about Apple products. On Macworld.
- TweepMe | Browse Members – These people are so desperate for followers that they'll use a Web service — and possibly even pay! — to get automatic followers. Pity them. They are true social networking losers.
- How to Tweet Your Way Out of a Job – When will they learn? On I’m Not Actually a Geek. Thanks to @jodene on Twitter for sharing the link.
- Dealing with M2T (HDV) for Macs – Jeez Louise! Where was this when I needed help a few months ago? Wish I'd had this info then. I won't lose it now. On MacHouse – A World of Video Tutorials.
- Twitter Unveils New Premium Accounts – You know, I was believing this until I got near the end. I guess I shouldn't read Web-based articles too early in the morning, before my brain has a chance to spin up. On BBSpot.
