As part of our ongoing efforts to monitor our user base for odd activity, we noticed a sudden surge in followers for a couple accounts in the last five days. Given the circumstances surrounding this, we felt it was best to push out a password reset to accounts that were following these suspicious users. Then we started doing some digging and, given what we found today, we felt it important to share this information. An outline of what appears to have happened follows … Torrent sites aren’t exactly “new”; however, this is one of the first times that we’ve seen an attack that…

Extremely high volume of whales
20 Jan 2010 | 4:22 amWe are experiencing an outage due to an extremely high number of whales. Our on-call team is working on a fix. Update (5:18a): We are recovering from this incident. A sudden failure coupled with problems in switching to a backup system produced a high number of errors for around 90 minutes. This made the site largely inaccessible. No data was lost or compromised during this outage. -

Now Trending: Local Trends
26 Jan 2010 | 5:20 pmTwitter trends began as a way to shed light on popular conversations. It's interesting to know that one topic can now spread across the world in real-time, and Trends help us discover which of those topics are paramount on a global scale. As Twitter evolves, and more people share what’s happening in their own world, we want to provide another way for people to discover topics that may be relevant to them. Last week we began to slowly roll out a new feature called Local Trends to expose what people are talking about on the state and city level, and today we've fully launched so everyone can… -

The Power of Suggestions
21 Jan 2010 | 2:56 pmHi, I'm Josh and I work in the product team at Twitter. One of the areas I'm working on is helping new users get started so they know how to find and discover what interests them. Today we're making the first of many changes here to help people ease into the twitterverse by finding and following accounts that interest them.Two of the biggest challenges for new users have been finding accounts to follow that appeal to their interests, and finding their friends and colleagues who tweet. Over time, we've learned that by making suggestions of who to follow, we can help users get going more easily…

Dynamic Tweets – schedule your tweets in advance
9 Feb 2010 | 7:47 amDynamic Tweets offers a tweet deferral service like a few others we have reviewed. It works well scheduling out tweets for reminders and marketing as the website shows. Also, if you have something important to say in the middle of the night, when not many would see it in the great stream that is twitter, having it set to publish during normal hours just makes sense. You do have to register for the service, but I wish they had implemented oAuth already. This means you will create an account with them and then give your Twitter credentials over to them as well. I always think the worst… -

TweetRadio – listen to the pulse of Twitter in audio !!
4 Feb 2010 | 7:53 amTweetRad.io is an interesting idea. They grab the hottest topics, using text to speech technology, and make an audio stream from it. Ok at first I was not so sure, but damn. I clicked the tech channel and it started reading out tweets saying things like “Mashable says …. <tweet here>” removing the links. Quite awesome as background noise full of information. I really like this service for some reason!! I then noticed I can type in any username strings in the search. I did some friends and the radio starts like it is scanning stations.

One of my quirks when it comes to using Twitter is that I don’t automate my follows or DMs. I try to follow people whom I think would be interesting and more importantly who might be cool to interact with. Whenever I get a new follower notification, I at least check out their Twitter page to see what they like to talk about. So I thought I’d highlight some of the things I look for when I decide who to follow… Bio – Even though Bios are short, it’s a great way to put your best foot forward and let people… -
How To Get Celebrities To Tweet You

However, after Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) sent several Tweets to me and even created a hashtag topic dedicated to me (he also followed me as one of the 32 people on his following list for a couple of days but sadly, that ended), there was an unintended side effect: people I know suddenly were interested in joining Twitter to Tweet with their favorite celebrities. In addition to Justin, I’ve Tweeted with many celebrities…

UK council in trouble over tweeting

Big money for hacked Twitter accounts

In this case, the three-letter username may have influenced the price. That compares with Gmail accounts for $82, Rapidshare accounts for $5 per month, and other sites including Skype and Facebook. Bestuzhev also went on to say Kaspersky had detected 70,000 data stealing programmes in… -

The results can be seen on his Twitpic feed - and are rather impressive, particularly the shots of the Maldives, Mt Fuji and Tokyo at night. Given…

New MSN Preview (new site design)

New Twitter client for Mac tastes Great!!
19 Dec 2009 | 6:41 amBeing the Mac enthusiasts that we are here at Twitterstop, it was only natural for us to immediately jump on the Twitter client “Tweetie” that was released a few months ago. We love Tweetie and haven’t had the need for any other Twitter client since then. But now we’re being put in a tough position here with the release of a brand new Mac based Twitter client called “Kiwi“. Yes, named after a delicious fruit (or vegetable. never know the difference), this new tool and all of its great features is already tasting great! Kiwi takes the Twitter client to…

Getting Creative with QR Barcodes; Funny Little Graphics That Contain a Lot of Information
10 Jan 2010 | 6:10 pmSee that funny little black and white graphic up there next to my logo? That’s called a QR code. These mobile barcodes are big in Japan and slowly catching on in the west. If you’re not familiar with them yet, they’re the equivalent of the more common line barcodes, but they can be used for a lot more than just identifying products on packaging. For example, if you shoot that QR code next to my logo with your mobile phone’s bar code reader it will give you the link to this blog. A handy way to add my blog url on your mobile phone without having to type it in. You can… -
Twitter’s 370 Banned Passwords: What’s Twitter Got Against Hooters?
27 Dec 2009 | 9:01 amWhen you sign up for a Twitter account you need to choose a password and hopefully you picked one that isn’t easy to guess, like your name, or something really dumb like password or 123456, but did you know that Twitter has a list of banned passwords that you’re not allowed to use? Many of them make sense, like the aforementioned examples, and some of them are naughty words, but the list of 370 words also contains some words that have me baffled. Here are some of the banned words and although they aren’t exactly smart passwords I wonder why they made the list. Perhaps… -
Twitter Image is Now Social Identities
11 Dec 2009 | 4:34 pmFor those of you who don’t know, I own and operate a website called TwitterImage.com. When this whole crazy thing started a short time ago, we (Twitter Image) began by designing backgrounds for Twitter, but as we grew, we added more social networks and now design backgrounds and custom graphics not only for Twitter, but for Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Ning and every social network page that can be customized. This led us to begin searching for a way to segue to a new name that encompassed all that we do and not only Twitter specifically, so we registered and began using the domain,… -

“This Person Started Following You On…”
8 Feb 2010 | 11:30 pmTwitter is rolling out a new hovercard feature to Twitter.com that will allow you to see basic details about any user when you mouseover their name or avatar. It’s a good idea, and one that’s long overdue.But what I’d also like to see is some additional information that says something like, ‘This person started following you on…’ and then the exact date and time when our relationship began. This should be available everywhere we see information about our followers, including on their profile. I’m confident it’s already in the metadata, so it’s simply a case of making it… -
What Is The Real Cost Of Trying To Make Money Online With Twitter?
8 Feb 2010 | 1:39 amThe internet has a long-term interest (some would say obsession) with figuring out ways to make money online. Certainly, there’s a fascination with how much money the leading bloggers make from their publications, as well as how they do it, which includes anything from standard web advertising programs to affiliate links, sponsorship and paid content.But using similar methods, can it be done on Twitter, too? And is this opportunity open to everybody, even an average guy, or is the real earning potential on the network reserved just for celebrities with millions of followers?More… -
Nothing’s Perfect
4 Feb 2010 | 11:30 pmI like Twitter.com for its speed, lack of API call worries and because it’s still the easiest way to follow (and unfollow) somebody, but it doesn’t support columns, nor does it provide me with a one-click way to retweet (in the style I prefer) or send a direct message.I like HootSuite a lot (it might actually be the closest thing we have to perfect), but it defaults to ow.ly URL shortening, which lots of readers don’t like, and doesn’t let you change this to anything else, like bit.ly. Which means when I want to use bit.ly, I have to go to bit.ly. Which takes me away from… -
Having Trouble Finding Cool People To Follow? Find Out Who Your Retweeters Recommend
3 Feb 2010 | 11:30 pmI’m going to make an assumption here, and that is that you’ve taken the time to ensure your Twitter network is optimised, that you regularly engage with it, and because of this the people within that network are folks that you trust.If not, I suggest you start over.I’m not a huge fan of Twitter’s internal retweet mechanism, and probably ninety per cent of the time I still do my retweets the good, old-fashioned way, but the feature is slowly beginning to grow on me. In particular, I like to spend a few minutes each day in the retweets by others folder, as this is a fantastic way to… -
Remember, YOU Have The Power. All Of You

And I’m also definitely not talking about the royal ‘we’, either. I’m talking about us.

Sure, he’d still have his spammers and his no-tweet wonders, and that and a…

Use Buzzom to Grow You Twitter Followers- says Forbes.com
4 Feb 2010 | 5:32 pmIn the article Me And My 39,000 Friends, Michael Noer talks about Twitter and how he stumbled upon John Cox, a 49-year-old IT consultant.

Music Microdiscovery Scales
23 Jan 2010 | 1:43 pmAs an end user, perhaps my favorite application of microsharing platforms of all types (think Twitter, Foursquare, etc) are how they help me add to my already extensive music collection. It’s fun to get a little shiver of a music fix randomly during an otherwise normal business day, just by tuning in to what’s going on around me online. As a consultant, I love seeing the innovative ways the people behind the music we love are using microsharing platforms. It inspires me to see the ongoing and building connections with fans, the innovations in distribution, the advances in sales,… -
Bringing “Uninteresting” Businesses Into Social Media
7 Jan 2010 | 10:35 amI did an interesting session at a company in Boston yesterday that has a problem many businesses coming into Social Media share: they have a business that deals with a product or service that has a low “interesting” quotient. This problem is faced by loan companies, insurance agencies, tax consultants and a few hundred other types of businesses. For these companies, generating interesting content is possible, but getting people to go and view it can be a challenge. What then, should the social media outreach for these companies include? So many social media consultants only preach… -
Musicians, Samplers and Trailers
4 Jan 2010 | 8:52 amOver on the blog for my other company, Film POP!, today, I talk about the value of trailers to filmmakers. It got me thinking about the music sampler, free MP3s, peer to peer sharing and other ways musicians’ music can be discovered even before their album is out – “musical trailers”, if you will. For me, the musical trailer that leads to a new band, musician, or song is often a shared file sent to me by a friend or client musician. Random nuggets of discovery that lead to musical happiness, vetted by people I trust. For a growing number of people, musical trailers… -
At What Point Ethics?
2 Jan 2010 | 11:34 pmSo my attention was called to a post by one of my favorite thinkers in this space, Olivier Blanchard (aka The Brand Builder) about a fly by night certification scam (not the first, and I’m sure not the last to sucker people in) called International Social Media Association. I won’t even try to pull the post and contents over here – it’s a goldmine of thought leadership from start to finish, in line and in comments. Go read the (long but worth it) post on ISMA for yourself, then come back – we’ll wait. Ok, are you back? Good. This post is not about ISMA. -
Geolocation Risk:Benefit

These two technologies are very different, and yet they go hand in hand. For the end user, they come with inherent risks along with the benefits. For the business, there are primarily benefits to being geolocation friendly and mobile ready. If you are a business, being on the leading edge of geolocation and mobile technologies will be key to your success. I wish someone would explain to me why on earth the grocery stores (VRM)…
