    TweetMeme is launching Adtweets! Nick Halstead is at the Real-Time Crunchup in San Francisco today to reveal and demo our new, and exciting product! The idea behind this product was based around wanting to reward advertisers for using great, interactive and engaging adverts.  The Adtweets are a way of putting pressure on advertisers to improve the standard of adverts, and give the audience a chance to decide, and essentially vote, on what they like. Produce a good advert that your audience likes, and you can easily tap into the viral nature of Twitter and the ‘retweet effect’, which…

  • Mobile Retweeting

    4 Nov 2009 | 9:33 am
    We continually listen to what publishers want and a repeat request is to support mobile users. The problem with mobile is that a large proportion of users use Twitter applications to do their tweeting. So today we would like to announce that we are supporting native retweeting on iPhone Android and Blackberry. When we serve a retweet button to a mobile browser we switch it to a mobile specific version – and when the user clicks the button it sends them to a screen that lets them choose the mobile application that they use. And for users who do not yet have a Twitter app – we…

Today, the Geotagging API is officially available.This release is unique in that it's API-only which means you won't see any changes on twitter.com, yet. Instead, Twitter applications like Birdfeed, Seesmic Web, Foursquare, Gowalla, Twidroid, Twittelator Pro and others are already supporting this new functionality (go try them out now!) in interesting ways that include geotagging your tweets and displaying the location from where a tweet was posted.

    Twitter was originally conceived as a mobile status update service—an easy way to keep in touch with people in your life by sending and receiving short, frequent answers to one question, "What are you doing?" However, when we implemented the service, we chose to leave something out. To stay simple, Twitter did not require individuals to confirm relationships. Instead, we left things open.People, organizations, and businesses quickly began leveraging the open nature of the network to share anything they wanted, completely ignoring the original question, seemingly on a quest to both ask and…

    Boxcar is our top rated, paid iPhone app that reads your Twitter stream (after authenticating with oAuth) looking for direct messages and @ replies.  It then pushes them to your device when found.  The downside of the service is that the application itself does not tweet, it launches whatever Twitter client you have installed also.  You get to choose between Tweetie, Twittelator, Twitterfon, Birdfeed, Twitterena, Twitterific and even Hahlo. You get one service included in the purchase of the application, and adding on Facebook, Twitter searches and even email is $.99 per service.  So they…

This image taken from this great review! Twittme also offers a native ability to split postings that exceed 140 characters, up to 240 (which begs what do they do with the extra 100).  It will then automatically make them into two separate postings. From testing there is some features lacking, but it does work across devices.  This is one to turn to in a pinch.

    In some companies there remains a socialmedia-phobic culture which spends millions to block access to sites such as Twitter and Facebook. There are many reasons for this mistrust of social media but it also reflects a distrust of employees and their ability to use their time constructively. One fear is there will be a waste of time. At the same time, though, most companies allow for breaks in the work routine by providing water coolers, coffee rooms, and other similar spaces. The byproduct of such spaces is the ability of workers to establish better working networks and share useful…

The system posts status updates to Twitter and Facebook in real time and is pretty easy to use. However, it’s not real time, at least not in my case. You see, due to mechanical trouble, my Delta plane turned around and returned to Seattle after flying for 3 hours.

We are definitely rushing to implement this as fast as we can for our Twitterface client. This is a very exciting feature! Some of the benefits of Lists are: You don’t have to follow people you have on a list, so brands like Starbucks or Verizon or whoever you need to interact with occasionally,…

  • TweetReach - How Far Did Your Tweet Travel?

    Kris Colvin
    31 Oct 2009 | 9:33 am
    Thanks to Drew Ellis, a new friend from the UK, I discovered a nifty tool today called TweetReach. You enter a distinct search term, url or hashtag, and the software searches a maximum of 50 tweets for free. For $20 you can order a full report, which will contain all mentions of your search term over the past 7 days or maximum 1500 results (limits imposed by Twitter.) I find the cost of the report a bit high - using TweetReach for something like a marketing campaign is a very appealing way to see the effectiveness and what people are saying about it, but $20 on just that every week (or…

CLEANER PANES We have cleaned up the panes by making tweet actions appear when you hover over areas instead of cluttering the screen with many little icons, so don’t panic when you don’t see icons under the avatar! Just hover over the tweet and you’ll see all the icons. 3 NEW INTEGRATED SERVICES The area under the update bubble contains actions for shortening links before tweeting, adding photos or a video or finding a song to share.

  • Add descriptions to your Twitter lists…

    Dan Thornton
    19 Nov 2009 | 12:01 am
    Adding a description field to Twitter list creation is a simple change which has rolled out today, but it’s a useful one. Not only does it allow you to provide context to people who will view your list (Without creating a list title as long as a book), but presumably it will also be indexed to be searchable, enabling better list discovery. At the moment I’m seeing a huge number of lists created, often with plenty of duplication of topics and titles, and very few followers for each one. A searchable description field aids this somewhat, although it may mean there’s a land grab to be the…

  • All that Twitters is not gold for Twitturly

    Dan Thornton
    18 Nov 2009 | 10:18 am
    For a while it seemed as if building a third-party application for Twitter was a route to instant fortune (as were Facebook apps before it, and iPhone apps after it). But judging by the eventual sale of Twitter link tracker and aggregator Twitturly, it appears that bubble may now have burst. Since launching in April 2008, rivals such as Tweetmeme and Topsy have joined the Twitter aggregator space – and when founder Joel Strellner put the site up for auction, just 5 bids came in, with a final price of ‘no more than $8,500′ (HT Techcrunch). Having said that, Strellner has…

  • Did you really believe President Obama was using Twitter?

    Dan Thornton
    16 Nov 2009 | 12:13 am
    Although most people will have assumed that the @BarackObama account was staffed by members of his team and White House staff, it was easy to hope that a Blackberry-addicted new President might occasionally sneak a tweet in – especially given the account is always in the first-person, and given messages such as ‘Humbled’ on winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But it turns out almost 2.7 million people are following the President’s team rather than the man himself, after he spoke in a Q&A session in Shanghai which was streamed on the internet. In it, he fielded a question about Twitter.

    Let me start out by saying that I’m happy to see Twitter adding more functionality to their own website and I realize that the new retweet function is still in beta. Now that I have that disclaimer out of the way, let me point out what I consider to be the most glaring flaw in the system and when I say glaring, I mean it’s a much bigger issue than the fact that we can’t add our own comments or that tweets from strangers that we aren’t even following are showing up in our streams. Those are certainly flaws, in my opinion, but this one outshines them all. When you post a…

    Sheamus
    18 Nov 2009 | 2:30 pm
    As well as improving the overall look of the pages, Twitter has added a way to include descriptions to each of your lists, something I felt was an oversight back in my original look at the feature. It’s absolutely worth taking a moment to accurately add a brief note to each of your lists. Give people a reason to sign up. This naturally will lead to a better way to search lists, too – it’s much easier to interpret a sentence or two than it is (what is often) a fairly non-descriptive list name. Moreover, this may well be the final nail in the coffin of #followfriday. Related posts:Twitter…

Of course, and while this news does take away a little of the impact from some of the classic Obama tweets, you’d have to have been more than a little naive to think the leader of the Western world really had the time to write his own tweets.

First you have to have an account in certain hosting site and then you have to log-in to it, then upload it, wait and when it is ready, you have to get it link and then tweet. Its such a pain, wouldn’t it be simple if you only had to drag the picture from your desktop and drop it some where. Yes, you can in Buzzom Desktop.

  • How Do You Value Twitter?

    About once a month now we see a news item placing a dollar value on Twitter. In a recent post on the subject Robert Scoble suggested Twitter is worth $5 - $10 billion. Then in October Mashable reported the value at closer to $1 billion. Still more recently, the folks at Gigaom cited sources that instead values Twitter at about $526-$674 million. Any which way you go that's alot of moolah and we aren't the kind of TwitterFools who are qualified to comment on the valuation of a business.

    I have been consumed with client work, speaking, writing the new book, my Social Media Breakfast NH project, and my new project: PodCamp NH. That has meant little time for blogging.

What is PodCamp NH? PodCamp NH is an innovative gathering of new media enthusiasts, professionals, and anyone curious about what comes next in blogging, social media, podcasting, video on the net, and so much more.

    I’m a little late on my Inspiration Day series (which usually coincides with the #followfriday meme on Twitter). I was over in Portsmouth, NH all weekend representing my other company, Film POP!

Let me catch up on sharing with you all another of the many, many people who inspire me. This time I’d like to highlight David Armano.

  • Don't Look Now, You Just Contracted On Twitter

    For some of us, tweeting is more than just updating our friends as to what we put on our turkey sandwiches for lunch or how far we’re forced to walk from our cars to Starbucks.  Twitter is a powerful tool, and amongst other things, can be used as a medium for business negotiation.  And what else is more centric to business than contracts? Most of us make contracts on a daily basis without even knowing it.  If that mooching friend of yours says, “Can I bum a cigarette, and I’ll get you back when I buy my next pack,” she’s making an offer.  If you give in once…
