Last week I did an interview with the Canadian Press about Twtjobs and some of the other Twtapps. There were a few paper across Canada that picked up the story.

Here are some of them:

Red Deer Advocate, Central Alberta.

MSN Tech & Gadget, Toronto.

Prince George Citizen, Toronto.

On Wednesday I went to a Tweetup and Music SHow at the Club Lambi in Montreal. I got interviewed by Nonna Maria (by @mindofchester)

I received some sad news from my American family in the US. My American grandpa has passed away yesterday. I’m leaving tomorrow morning to stay with them at their home in West Virginia until Friday.

Many of you know I was an exchange student in High School (in Atlanta) before I came to the US for College. I had a great experience and met a lot of really nice people, but above all I was practically adopted by this wonderful family with whom I’ve spent many family Holidays over the last 10 years.

Grandpa Lesher will be missed by all his friends and family. He lived his life to the fullest and I will always remember hearing their stories about when he was growing up and about raising his family in West Virginia to talks about the latest gadget (he loved new technologies.)

I spent a couple of Christmas with them at their home in West Virginia and a few others in Atlanta. Over the past few years they have been spending the Winters in Florida, so I’d always try to come to Atlanta when they were driving by on their way to or from Florida.

Last year I went to Huntington, WV for their 50th year aniversary (see photo below) and I got to see the church in which they got married, where they lived when they met and saw many of their friends.

I really have to make a greater effort to keep my blog updated…

Well, not much new is going on personally, but I’ve been pretty busy developing new Twitter applications. This past week was kind of crazy as I was finishing up our latest one and adding new features to some of the others. So for the past “3″ days I worked straight for 36 hours, then slept for 10, worked for 24, slept for 6, worked for another 24… and rested on the last day

Anyway, so a couple of weeks ago I released Twtjobs, a simple job application. I got a lot of great feedback and a lot of people using it. I’m going to do some changes to it this week.

Yesterday, I released twtBizCard, a Twitter business card application. In the past couple of days I got a lot of positive feedback and a nice article about it at Mashable.

So what’s next? I’m not sure yet. I have a long list of ideas for new apps, but I think I’m going to take some time to make some improvements to twtpoll, twtjobs and twtvite for the next couple of days…

Another nice Twitter video from Current.tv

This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen

Today I had an interview @ Radio Canada International (in Portuguese) about moving to Canada and twtapps. It was very cool. It was my first time at a Radio studio. You can listen to it here (the show on Mar 6).

The interview was in the beginning of the show and lasted for 6 minutes, so for the remainder of the show, I was taking pictures and Twittering

They invited me to come back for a TV show next week (also in Portuguese). It will be next Thursday, so I’ll post more details about it later.

Other than that, everything is going well. I haven’t had a chance to write my “Six Months in Canada” post… So, I changed my travel plans to go to Brazil in the beginning of April (April 1-15).
