Matt Singley is a business process advisor that focuses on social media and UGC sociology. He authors a blog at Singley's Blog Thoughts.We've written about some very specific applications for different mobile devices, and now we want to tell you how to be a power Twitter user on any mobile device with a browser, and how to post your tweets safely and hands free while on the go.Chances are your mobile phone has a web browser, and now there are several sites that allow you to manage your Twitter account directly within the browser, no downloading of applications required! This is certainly great news for the non-iPhone users that get tired of seeing all the great apps released for the iPhone.Browser based Twitter servicesDabr - Based in the United Kingdom, this open source project is one of the fastest and easiest to navigate on my phone. Their about page tells us what they are built upon the users. They value feedback and make constant improvements based upon what the community is saying. An excellent bonus feature is the use of pics as thumbnails in the timeline, not just links to Twitpic or Flickr.Slandr - Not just a browser based Twitter client, but they also offer to make back channels for conferences so you can talk about the speaker while they are doing their thing. Slandr also has the nice feature of showing thumbnail previews of pictures in the timeline, but the navigation is challenging at times. The links for replies and direct messages are so small I often end up clicking to a place I don't want to go.Twistat Mobile - Although it doesn't have the prettiest GUI, it certainly boasts some of the most unique features. One click can make somebody in your line a tweetheart, hide a person's updates or open up an email message with the tweet already pasted into the body, ready to send to your contacts.Tweete - A very crisp, clean GUI, although the cleanliness does remove some features I like, such as seeing avatars in the timeline. I didn't realize how dependent I have become on scanning the stream of tweets for a user pic until I started using this mobile version. It has the usual buttons you would expect for full Twitter function, but nothing more. If you want fast and clean, this is a great option.Twitter Mobile - Twitter's official mobile site. Although I love the Twitter engine, the mobile site is pretty bare bones in what it can do. I visit this most often when I'm clicking a link out of my email telling me that somebody new is following me; it's easy enough to click the follow button in their profile then exit out.Hands free tweeting while on the roadMany places, like my homestate of California, have enacted laws that make it illegal to text or type in any manner while driving. Of course I'm sure it's the safest course of action, but naturally it creates a bit of a problem for people like me that need to constantly update Twitter. Fortunately there are a few excellent, hands-free options for tweeting in the form of voice-to-text technologies.SpinVox and Ping.fm - This partnership launched at the end of 2008 and I have been using it steadily ever since. Simply sign up for a free account at Ping.fm, and you will be given a unique phone number that you can call and speak your message to. It's quick, it's free, and it's legal. The transcription is pretty accurate, although sometimes words do get changed. It takes just a few minutes to post to your Twitter account, and it also optionally posts a link to the original voice message. SpinVox and Ping.fm don't just update Twitter, you can also link to and update almost 20 other social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and even Mashable!Jott - Similar to the SpinVox/Ping.fm service, Jott converts voice to text on the fly with many extras. Unfortunately they recently announced that they will no longer be offering their basic free service. The starting tier is still reasonably priced at $3.95/month and offers other perks such as integration with Outlook and voice to notes.Using these services, you can keep tweeting wherever you are and whatever you're doing. How do you update and stay in touch when on the go?

The other Steve - Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak - has appeared on CNBC to discuss the issue of Steve Jobs' health and his leave of absence from Apple. Says Woz:Obviously Steve's very important, but Apple has some incredible people too. That are almost, in a way, followers of the Apple mentality, followers of Steve himself he's a great individual, but there's an awful lot that are around him at Apple that obviously, you know, learned some good techniques. The culture of a company can be ongoing even when he's away.Woz, it seems, favors optimism, even suggesting that the rest may result in new product ideas from Jobs. That sounds like wishful thinking.
