User experience design, interaction design, and new product strategy for the dlvr.it social syndication web application. Dlvr.it connects RSS feeds to generate automatic social media updates. They also have a robust statistics engine for finding the efficacy of your social presence.

Twuffer.com is one of the first and most successful Twitter tweet schedulers. 200,000 account holders have used it to schedule over 10 million tweets, for free.After Twitter's launch, I quickly saw it's potential as a marketing tool, especially for announcing product development progress. I also felt a personal need to avoid flooding my Twitter stream with multiple updates all at once, each of which robbed value from the previous. So, a co-worker and I designed an interface and spun up a server. I attribute Twuffer's success to our philosophy that it should serve a single purpose, extremely well.
