Send your Twitter updates from 8hands
Starting of today, twittering from 8hands is officially one of the common ways to send updates to your twitter page. As (we hope) you already know, you can sync your 8hands tagline to your Twitter account, so that every time you change it, twitter will automatically get your update and vice versa.
The new innovation is that now, twitter will also know to mark these updates as “Updated from 8hands” just like in the picture below. We are very proud and would like to thank the nice guys at Twitter for their cooperation!
Remember you can also choose to receive your twitter updates in the 8hands' latest section. To do so, just go to the “settings” section and tick the “show twitter updates in latest” box.

Funny Error messages on Twitter and other social Networks
Not that this is likely to happen to us (having 8hands does give you a small advantage) but you can never know…
It happens to the best of us - you are browsing your favorite sites and then BOOM! An unexpected error message occurs with no apparent reason.
Instead of receiving some terrifying messages it is really fun to bump into some funny error messages.
Twitter made a catty series exactly for that scenario. And even though, generally, I'm not a big fan of cats, this one is just too adorable -
Following that - Gone with a ping is a small blog dedicated to BUGS! Yeah…lovely concept.
Check out what flickr, digg or YouTube have to say when their site is down.
Viva la Errors!
Discover the magic of the Twittervision
I'm sure most of you are familiar with that feeling of sitting at home and wondering what kind of crazy and amazing stuff are happening right now around the world.
Well, Twittervision is here to provide the answer! It's a real time geographic visualization of posts to Twitter and it's just too cool.
Whether it's the Qradio post about what tracks they are currently playing, or people posting about their last night experience, or news shouts from the BBC... all being updated in real time.
I must warn you though - It's extremely addictive. Personally I spent the last 2 hours staring at this little wonder (Kobi don't be mad :-) )
Though this site is not affiliated with Twitter it's another step in the little Twitter revolution, helping Twitter to become much more than just the newest buzzword.
Note from Oferico: Private alpha testers, you asked and we deliver. Keep your 8hands online 'cause we'll be releasing a hot update which includes Twitter support! Yay! You'll be able to post to Twitter directly from 8hands and you'll be able to see updates from friends in the History panel. If you're already a mature Twitterer and know how to handle Twitter floods you can even set Twitter events to appear in the "latest" section of 8hands. Enjoy!
