  • Missing some mentions?

    5 Nov 2009 | 4:54 pm
    Some users are seeing an incomplete number of tweets when viewing their @username mentions (the replies tab on twitter). In particular, older tweets may be missing and users may find that they cannot page back to see older @username mentions. We’re working to fix the problem that causes this.

  • Testing new tweet notifications

    4 Nov 2009 | 4:58 pm
    We’re starting a limited test of notifications on twitter.com for when you have new tweets. So if one of the folks you follow has tweeted since you loaded your homepage, you’ll get a little notice saying “1 new tweet” that, when clicked, will display the new content. We think it improves the tweet consumption experience and hope to roll it out to everyone as soon as we can.

  • Update on SMS and Direct Message email bugs

We are still working on a number of inconsistencies with the SMS service. This includes the inability to remove or add a phone and unresponsiveness to commands sent over SMS. This is being treated with highest priority and we continue to work on a fix. Update (8:05p): We believe both of these issues have now been resolved. We are continuing to monitor the situation.

    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…

We realise that the positioning of the Gadget in the Sidebar isn’t ideal, as many would prefer it inline with their posts, so to overcome this you can use our new tool to insert the button directly into your blog template. The editor is also good news for bloggers using “Classic” templates to whom gadgets aren’t available. To get your template code for editing, simply go to Layout then Edit HTML in your dashboard, and copy your…

Retweet is a button that makes forwarding a particularly interesting tweet to all your followers very easy. In turn, we hope interesting, newsworthy, or even just plain funny information will spread quickly through the network making its way efficiently to the people who want or need to know.You may remember that we shared the mechanics of this feature with developers a while back so they could think about how to work it into Twitter apps.

    As Twitter grows and the number of tweets each day continues to astound us, we’ve noticed an increasing amount of clutter in the public timeline, especially with trending topics. Trends began as a useful way to find out what’s going on but has grown less interesting due to the noisiness of the conversation.So, today we're starting to experiment with improvements to trends that will help you find more relevant tweets. Specifically, we're working to show higher quality results for trend queries by returning tweets that are more useful. The improvement won't be very noticeable at first, but…

From the @time list of funny people to your own list of people who make you laugh—it's easy to see how this feature increases discovery and adds value in lots of ways.Lists also make it easier to curate tweets into meaningful real-time experiences on your own sites via the Lists API.

    Bill Ives

    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…

You see, due to mechanical trouble, my Delta plane turned around and returned to Seattle after flying for 3 hours.

    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…

    We have a number of updates I wanted to tell users about. Some of these are long-awaited and I’m excited to make them available. 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.

    TechCrunch, frequent Twitter news reporter, published an article yesterday called Tweeting from the Web? Nine Alternative Web Clients which was both mildly annoying (since Twitterface was not mentioned) and perplexing, since three web-based, business-focused clients weren’t mentioned at all, as well as a handful of other applications that I know have been in existence since 2008, such as Hootsuite and CoTweet. Orli Yakuel did a great job at capturing some of the pros and cons of the apps listed in her chart - I am not going to go into that detail here as I have deliberately not used…

    Dan Thornton
    5 Nov 2009 | 1:01 am
    This Twitter crowdsourcing experiment was set up by regular 140char.com contributor Lauren Fisher over on her agency site at SimplyZesty, so here’s an explanation from Lauren herself: Using Twitter to crowdsource the world in 72 hours. Well not exactly the world, but England, America and Ireland at least. That’s the challenge we’ve set ourselves and we’re relying on word of mouth to make the experiment work. The project started just under 48 hours ago and was originally intended just for Ireland. It soon gained traction and buzz so we decided to roll it out to England…

    If you want to find the most popular brands on Twitter in terms of mentions, you could spend some time setting up various monitoring systems. Or you can just go to TweetedBrands and see which 50 companies are getting the most mentions in any one day. It’s simple and effective for a quick overview, and each mention number links to the appropriate Twitter search.

    I may have already written about Twitter lists, but certainly the interest in them hasn’t started to wane yet. In addition to everyone and their blogging dog creating posts on the lists you really, definitely, absolutely should follow,  Mark Drapeau has an interesting post on O’Reilly Radar, in which he puts forward the idea that Twitter lists are a more organic metric than the number of followers/RTs an individual has. Meanwhile the two rivals for most comprehensive Twitter client, Tweetdeck and Seesmic, have both revealed the imminent inclusion of list functionality:…

    With about half of Twitter users able to access Twitter Lists as they’re rolled out to everyone, independant Twitter list directory Listorious has been quick to launch and offer curated lists on a range of topics. It’s interesting to see whether the relatively peer-led recommendation of Twitter lists will displace directories of individual users grouped by category such as WeFollow and Twellow. Obviously there are concerns about both the follower-inflation that everyone has seen from the Suggested User List presented to new users, as well as individuals worried about being…

    If you have a lot of Twitter  followers and they aren’t all actual friends, chances are that you get a fair amount of auto DMs, (direct messages) many of which are nothing but spam.

Now before you grab your pitch forks and torches, let me clarify here that there’s nothing wrong with either of those services and they both actually offer many very handy options. For example, I find SocialOomph’s “semi auto vetting” tool indispensable. Obviously they didn’t create a way…

    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.

(co-founder with Amy Greenlaw) and our client Chase Bailey and his film Crooked Lane (winner: Best of NH Filmmaker 2009). It was a blast, but left little room for sitting and writing! 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. A forward thinking social media presence, David writes the blog…

  • 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…

    Keeping the new tradition of telling you all about people who inspire me each Friday on FollowFriday, let me talk about Alicia Staley.

Not only that, she fights tirelessly for cancer awareness for cancer sufferers, cancer survivors and the families of people who suffer from cancer and all of the incredible difficulty that journey entails.
