App Maker, App Maker, make me an app… a geek’s wish list

This post will be regularly updated with my (and my friends’) app wish list.
The highly popular “Wiferam Alpha” is #4… but I think it’ll be #1 tomorrow.

#1 – Twitter follow spam terminator app
What would it be?
A real-time, side-by-side comparison of who’s following me and who I follow… followed by who “unfollows” me right after I follow them. It would also have a built-in “mass follow/mass unfollow” zapper that would melt the offender’s hard drive.
#2 – Home page ADD-helper cycler
What geek doesn’t have a touch of ADD?
What would it do?
Change my home pages in Explorer, Firefox + Opera on a rotating basis from a pre-determined list I create each time I open it. My interests are so varied (as is the wiring in my brain) that I can’t seem to remember what I favorite sometimes.
#3 – Social Media get-started-profile-auto-filler-outer
This one is self-explanatory.
Make it everything friendly and help me quickly auto-fill profile information. Not so much for me, but for folks I help get started in social media. Once we decide which avenue to pursue (not all of them) it would be incredibly helpful to be able to hit a magic button and launch a presence. C’mon @Loic, @Scobleizer, @ChrisPirillo, @a… I know you can do it!
#4 – Wiferam Alpha
And, yes, this one’s gonna get me killed :)
You’ve heard of Wolfram Alpha.
No?
You know, the amazing site that truly appears to be a mathematician’s “best thing since sliced bread”?
Well, guys, help me and my friends out with our marriages :)
Of course, my wife is awesome (hi honey, I know you read my blogs and subscribe to the RSS feeds… love ya ;0).
But after years of counselling, I’ve come to realize that I’m the one that needs help… or at least when I admit that and take the blame, things go so much better.
Kinda like milk and cookies… wait, maybe not, but I’m hungry and want milk and cookies.
Back to the point – this is what I need -
Let me enter a situation/scenario into Wiferam Alpha and it will run through all the variables… weather, PMS, how the kids are doing in school, is there a cure yet for autism, did I forget to shave… and it will tell me whether or not it’s ok to, say, have a beer, say “hi” or… breathe.
C’mon, guys, you know you want it just as badly as I do.
I think the default answer to queries will be “drink more beer” until the bugs get worked out.
I’m cool with that.
#5 – ?
I won’t be able to think straight until #4 gets developed.
I volunteer for the Beta!!!
Come on, gang, let’s crowdsource this puppy!

Cheers,

Chris

Google’s “really big” announcement on their YouTube channel today

Is anyone else jealous of @scobleizer?
Front row, Google Buzz t-shirt, VIP geek access… hey, sounds like where I’d like to be so, congrats Scoble!

But what is the REALLY BIG announcement?

Google Instant
How does it work? Here’s a video to show you… the FIRST YouTube video on Google Instant :)

How does it work? It is and looks like the main home page we’ve always been accustomed to.
You don’t need to hit “return” and your searches pop right up… now THAT’S instant!
Faster and faster, the web goes, and Google is leading the way again.

As if that were not enough, they’re pursuing the mobile app… now, friends, I have happy thumbs :)

WORLD’S FIRST GOOGLE INSTANT TRIVIA QUESTION:
If you were in on the webcast with me, whose name is blacklisted?
Irene Slutsky…
Poor Irene.
I bet about a million people just Googled her name during the conference.

Just who is Robert Scoble and why should you care?

Robert Scoble… come on… you know who he is, right?
Well, if ever there were a king guru grand poobah of social media, it’d be Scoble, aka @Scobleizer on Twitter.
And one of my dream goal is to have Robert Scoble come to me one day and say, “Chris, you da social media man!”

I can dream, can’t I?

Get tuned in to what he has to say and you’ll see a history that is unmatched because no one has his history or name recognition in the industry.
Check out Scobleizer.com, his most famous of blogs and you’ll probably wind up stuck there for hours if social media buzz is what you crave.
Dig the “From Scoble’s Lists” widget on the right side and, if you’re anything like me, you’ll get stuck.

All the best and let’s have fun on this social media journey!
