Here’s What Twitter In Real-Time Looks Like [Video]
Last night Twitter opened up the API for real-time user streams. The first apps to come with this much-requested feature are Tweetdeck and Echofon for Mac, but only if you’re a registered user (Echofon) or have been invited (Tweetdeck).
I have my doubts about this new feature, but I don’t want to judge yet. In the meantime, take a look at the videos showing real-time Twitter on these two apps, courtesy of The Next Web.

First Look: Prizmo for iPhone, Beautiful Mobile OCR App
OCR on the Mac? You gotta be kidding me.
I still can hear those Windows fanboys yelling at me years ago. But when I showed them Prizmo for Mac, they actually shut up. Prizmo by Creaceed is an awesome (yes, awesome) application for Mac OS X that allows you to snap pictures of, say, documents with your digital camera, import them via USB and see the magic happen as the app recognizes text (10 languages are supported), makes a Spotlight-searchable index, adjusts the picture’s brightness and perspective, too. It is indeed magic.
Prizmo is coming to the iPhone, and if you think about the new iPhone camera…that’s a new app on my waiting list.
