  When we designed Twitter, we took a different approach—we didn’t require a relationship model like that of a social network. Keeping things open meant you could browse our site to read tweets from friends, celebrities, companies, media outlets, fictional characters, and more. You could follow any account and be followed by any account. As a result, companies started interacting with customers, celebrities connected with fans, governments became more transparent, and people started discovering and sharing information in a new, participatory manner.We’ve developed a new set of frameworks…

Just a few days short of its 4th birthday, Twitter marked a milestone of 10 billion tweets at approximately 16:54:11 Pacific Time on Thursday, March 4, 2010.

  Session Tweets is an awesome idea, straight from the makers of Backupify (which service I use and recommend).  They take hashtags and put them together as a collection into an emailed PDF file.  So if there is a conference, session, seminar or hot trend, you can get an emailed version of the entire day. The site homepage has the most recently created, then by date.  At the bottom you can suggest some tags to have a report created.  I can see this being huge during SXSWi in the coming days.  Backupify is even tying this in nicely with the promo free year of the Premium service.  SXSW…

Or, are you trying to sell your product/service by bombarding your followers with sales pitches and product promotions? YOU vs. ME Consider this. Are you using “I” or “we” more than “you” and “your”?

It was fun to receive tweets from the characters as their responses were influenced  by the characters personalities and the time frame they represented.  We even debated whether the characters were sponsored by Madmen producer, AMC, or directly by fans; and then whether fans had the right to tweet. Of course, it proved to be a fan driven exercise that many of us…

  We’ve had some great dialog in response to yesterday’s post about my People Magazine Tops on Twitter post. I really appreciate your insights and conversation.  The comments were spread all over the different social platforms, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and here.  Sometimes it feels like you’re playing three dimensional chess. There were some great analogies that people gave to describe the phenomenon of mainstream users following celebrities in a big way.  I’ve consolidated them and placed them all here. Thank you all for sharing your points of view. I hope you enjoy…

The voice-based mobile phone service allows you to share an audio snippet (usually around 30 seconds) with your followers.

• New racing game issues challenges via Twitter

  Dan Thornton

  Upcoming racing game Blur combines two of my interests – microblogging and videogames (As you might guess from the recent launch of Online Race Driver). When it becomes available on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, racers will be able to send Twitter messages from within the game. So you can challenge friends to beat your time from within the game, although you can’t send message between the three games and platforms themselves.

So the fact that Tumblr has released a new feature, some interesting statistics and signs of new revenue streams launching soon has reignited my thoughts on how I could use the service effectively. The new feature is the ability to add static pages – which will aid companies and bloggers looking to keep content highlighted. Adding a page is simple, with three layouts to choose from.

In most cases you sign up and agree to let them feed their pre written ads into your Twitter stream. What they are willing to pay you for that privilege depends on how popular you are and how often you tweet. It was recently reported that Kim Kardashian receives as much as $10,000 for some paid tweets even though she denies the claim.

  We have come a long way, from an internal tool to market our products in Twitter to a widely used Twitter application by the marketers. We started Buzzom as a tool to help users follow and unfollow easily in Twitter. Many folks criticized us for building a spamming tool but we found many folks who enjoyed it too. This kept us moving. From the day one, Buzzom was not a spamming tool. We hate spam as much as anyone does. There is spam by email bombarding, but mass emailing facility has its own advantage. Buzzom’s facility to provide follow-unfollow had its advantage too. That was just a…

• Ten Tips On Balance

  Leslie

  16 Mar 2010 | 9:27 am

  If you read my personal blog you may know that each year I choose two words to meditate on and use to be better overall instead of having a traditional resolution. This year the words were “global” and “balance”. I’m doing pretty well on taking my company and myself and making it more global, both literally and in concept. Balance, on the other hand, is another story. It is a continual “work in progress”. Balance is something my clients struggle with often, and something I struggle with as well. For me it boils down to what is often referred to as the…

• Opening A Dialogue: Quantification and Certification

  Leslie

  5 Mar 2010 | 9:01 am

  A while back, I read this post by Olivier Blanchard which focused on ISMA, an organization said to certify social media consultants. That post inspired a semi-related post here which briefly touched on the certification aspect and on the company in question itself, but which was really overall more about the ethics of sponsorship and the ethics of validation by association. The response to that post from the folks at ISMA were not encouraging, and certainly didn’t do much to change my (admittedly low) opinion. As outlined over on the Epiphanies blog, Allen Voivod and I had an…

So, you asked for it, you got it. As an experiment, I blocked out what free time I can to make this a service. We’ll start with this week and next, and we’ll see how it goes.

  The catch-all term for these platforms we use is social media. I’ve found that term isn’t something some clients can wrap their heads around. I’ve have better success telling them this new focus is on being social, connected, helpful and accessible using adaptive media tools. That helps them make the mental separation between the nuts and bolts (setting up profiles, learning platforms like Twitter, creating basic web presences and integrating into their existing on or offline spheres) and the actual effective use and forward thinking aspects. Why adaptive media? Because in…

It is a small mistake when you have millions of fans out there but it is a big mistake when you’re an average joe who just started on twitter and decided to follow other people.
