Easily Find Your Twitter Contacts on Google Buzz

For all Buzz users that have Twitter account, now there's a way to easily find your Twitter contacts in Google Buzz. Developed by the team at Redation, Tw2Buzz is yet the best web app to import your contacts from Twitter to Buzz.


  1. First of all, make sure you already have login to your Google account. This is needed so that Tw2Buzz can cross-check your contact between Twitter and Google.
  2. Next is to login into Tw2Buzz at http://tw2buzz.com using your Twitter account. It authenticates via OAuth, so no password needed, much more secure process.
  3. Once logged-in, you will see a straight-forward interface loading to find your contacts in Buzz. The loading may take some time as it requires 2-step checking, one to check if your Twitter contact have Google account or not, next it checks whether the contact have Buzz enabled for them or not.
  4. To follow them on Buzz, click any of the result and it will take you to the user's Google Profile page where you can click the "Follow" button.
For now, this app so far cannot follow in bulk due to Google Buzz API limitation, or not yet introduced. But I can say, this is good enough to find more followers on Buzz. Tw2Buzz still in beta version, and may need a private key code to use. If you do have any, you can use mine below, limit to 20 users though.

Enable PDF Thumbnail & Preview in 64-bit Windows

Dear users of 64-bit Windows,

Do you use Adobe Reader in your 64-bit Windows? Since the introduction of Windows 7, more users has upgrade or migrate their OS to use 64-bit since a lot of reviews has been saying that it WORKS GREAT on most application without any problem. But I just notice one little (or perhaps not-so little) bug that only happen when you using a 64-bit version of Windows OS, not matterĀ  XP, Vista or even the latest Windows 7. Ok, let see this image first.


What do you notice from that screenshot? I know that is Windows Explorer with a PDF file in the folder, but do you notice there is NO thumbnail for the PDF. You may think I need to rebuild the thumbnail cache or refresh the folder, I have done that many times and it won't give the thumbnail what-so-ever you do. Also the preview pane states "This file can't be previewed."

I won't explain much on WHY this happen, but I give you the SOLUTION! Isn't it great to know there's a fix this? After googling many (many) times using multiple keywords from "rebuild pdf thumbnail" to "pdf thumbnail windows 7", I found a third-party fix develop by Leo Davidson at his website. It was a 64-bit only problem for those using Adobe Reader.

For most users, don't need to crack your head going through the registry editor, just DOWNLOAD the fix, install it and run the patcher to make the appropriate changes to the registry.


The installer is as easy as 1-2-3, I think most user can easily do this in minutes. You don't even need to restart your Windows. The fix applied INSTANTLY! Even (sometimes) without refresh the folder.So, to prove it is working, see the image after the fix has been applied. Nice huh? The Preview Pane also works great. Now, have a great time previewing your PDF in all folders.

Windows Phone 7 Series

Microsoft finally unveiled their new mobile operating system, called Windows Phone 7 Series. First previewed today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Windows Phone 7 is an all new, totally fresh OS which is comparable to the old Windows Mobile at all.

Gizmodo got the full coverage of the preview and plenty of details you might wanna know. I'm thinking this could be a good competitor to Apple's iPhone market.
