New! Twitter API Layer Compatibility Theme For WordPress

Automattic built the wonderful Prologue theme for WordPress which turns it into a private Twitter. Coming soon is Prologue Projects, a powerful yet lightweight project-management/monitoring version of the Prologue theme. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could use existing Twitter-tools on a system using one of these themes? Let’s do that.

It seems like it wouldn’t really be all that big of a task to write a layer (implemented as a plugin and/or theme) for WordPress which walked and talked like the Twitter API, but on the backend, interfaced with WordPress. Then you’d just point your Twitter tools (which support specifying a different URL) to your WordPress install and you’re off and running. I could see it supporting the core functionality relatively easily:

  • Public Timeline
  • Friends Timeline (if you added the concept of friends, not that hard)
  • User Timeline
  • Show
  • Update
  • Replies — perhaps showing comments?
  • Update

GoGrid Announces Version 2.0

Today GoGrid, the Cloud Computing service from ServePath, released version 2.0 of its award-winning Cloud Computing Infrastructure solution. With this release, GoGrid users now have the ability to create personal server images, known as MyGSIs. MyGSI stands for “personal GoGrid Server Image,” a “Golden Master” server image that can be customized, saved and stored for future deployments. Users are now able to create new servers from stored MyGSIs via the GoGrid web portal or API quickly and easily.

We are extremely excited about this innovative new GoGrid release
This is an important development in the Cloud Computing marketplace, and further demonstrates our visionary approach to providing Cloud Computing functionality and features that our customers desire.
“We are extremely excited about this innovative new GoGrid release,” said John Keagy, CEO and Co-Founder of GoGrid and ServePath. “This is an important development in the Cloud Computing marketplace, and further demonstrates our visionary approach to providing Cloud Computing functionality and features that our customers desire.”

The creation of a MyGSI is an extremely simple 3-step process. First add an Image Sandbox, second, configure and prepare the Image Sandbox and third, save the Image Sandbox as a MyGSI. When a user needs to create a new Windows or Linux server based on the pre-configured MyGSI, they simply choose the saved image, fill in a few details, and instantiate the server in minutes within the GoGrid cloud.
There are several benefits and advantages of using a MyGSI to deploy servers within the GoGrid cloud:
