FM4 has opened up shop in the twitterverse. Yes, some of you old tweeps may have already noticed that mysterious user FM4stories showing up on your followers list. It's bascially a feed of the stories from our home page as they come out. You can find it here:

And if all you care about are the webtips and my occasional 140 character rants against god and the universe, you can find them here:

For those of you who are still trying to figure out why twitter should interest you, well, if the phrase "lifes backchannel" says anything to you, maybe you should check it out. Although it hasn't been quite as useful since they killed SMS.

That said, there is something pretty exciting in the air right now. Data. Your data, my data, lots of peoples data being synced with their phones from their google accounts.

Google introduced Calendar and Contact over the air syncing for iPhones yesterday. It is also available for Windows Mobile Devices, Black Berrys and Nokia and Sony Ericson phones. You no longer need to look to third party apps in order to keep your phone and your info in sync.

For those of you who haven't explored the joys of over the air syncing, if you use Google, this is something worth trying. Just make sure you heed all of the warnings AND BACK UP YOUR DATA.
Really.
It's beta.
