Dear all y’all, i have a million followers on twitter now. i’d like to share some things, some recent dot-connections, with you.it’s long, so take your time reading it. here’s a youtube/spotify playlist to guide you through…• “turn! Turn! Turn!” – the byrds (youtube/spotify)• “if i had a hammer” peter, paul and mary (youtube, live/youtube, pete solo live/spotify)• “classic girl” – jane’s addiction (youtube/spotify)• “where have all the flowers gone?” I figure it’s a four-song read. as i wrote this, i was about to board a plane to escape the frigid temperatures of boston and chain myself to a chair next to my editor/book-doula until this fucker is finished. i’m in the hardest editing part right now and i just couldn’t do it in my place in boston, surrounded by ghosts, dirty clothes, friends, commune living, and sleet. head asploded with distraction. to everything there is a season. turn. turn he wrote that song. it was covered, and popularized, by the byrds. he was 94. i’ve changed. danger. love.
Twitter Surveillance | www.alexanderhanff.com. So today I was working on some code for a new web site I am about to launch for one of my privacy projects. I wanted a way to be able to log some statistics about my site visitors without retaining any information which might be considered as private, identifying or could be used to track them; these statistics are important for attracting sponsors. As a rule, I always disable logging everything apart from the date/time, requested page and result (whether or not the page was retrieved successfully) in Apache's access log - but this is a little cumbersome to navigate and create meaningful information from. So I decided I wanted to save some statistical data to a database which I can then access and display in a number of useful ways such as tables & charts.
I then sent myself the following text link via a DM in TweetDeck (I have multiple Twitter accounts): 8 » 2013-08-25 19:44:07 » stats.php? RowID » TimeStamp » Requested Page » Country Code. Twitter accepte de livrer des données à la justice française. C'est la suite logique de la décision de la cour d'appel de Paris, mi-juin. Twitter a annoncé ce vendredi avoir fourni à la justice française «les données susceptibles de permettre l'identification de certains auteurs» de tweets antisémites. Ces messages avaient valu au réseau social d'être la cible de poursuites de l'Union des étudiants juifs de France. La transmission de ces données«met fin au litige» avec l'UEJF et les deux parties «ont convenu de poursuivre activement leur collaboration, afin de lutter contre le racisme et l'antisémitisme dans le respect de leurs législations nationales respectives», ajoute Twitter dans son communiqué.
La ministre de l'Economie numérique Fleur Pellerin a salué la décision de Twitter «de se conformer à une décision de justice». «Tweets manifestement illicites» Le 12 juin, la cour d'appel de Paris a constaté que Twitter n'avait pas fourni les données, pas plus que la justification d'une impossibilité de les fournir. Order, and No Tweeting, in the Court! | Ward Blawg. 5inShare (Guest blog post presenting a US perspective on social media, law and the courts) Changes in communication technology require that existing social institutions, such as lawmaking bodies, the news media, and the courts, adapt themselves to such changes on almost a “case by case” basis.
A recent (November, 2009) case serves as an example of such adaptation by noting how modern technology has changed the legal definition of the word “broadcasting.” Case: United States v. John Mark Shelnutt Middle District of Georgia, Columbus Division Case No. 4:09-CR-14 (CDL) Citing the First Amendment right of Freedom of the Press, a reporter from the Columbus (GA) Ledger-Enquirer asked the court for permission to use a hand-held device to file reports to his employer’s web site which would, in turn, forward those reports to its “Twitter” subscribers.
The defense objected on the grounds of prejudicial pre-trial publicity. Discussion Update About the author. Update your user profile - Profile. Clarinette02 : Does Twitter know you well? The Library and Twitter: An FAQ « Library of Congress Blog. (UPDATE: Here’s a January 2013 status report on our work with the Twitter archives.) Twitter’s gift (link is PDF) to the Library of Congress of its entire archive of public tweets, announced two weeks ago today, sure has stoked the public’s interest. (Also included as addenda to the previous link were Twitter’s current and previous terms of service.) I’ve been working in journalism and public relations for nearly 20 years, and of all the stories with which I was personally involved, this one has beaten the rest by a mile. Thousands of hits on Google News. Countless blog posts from around the world. Media interest from virtually every national newspaper and broadcast outlet (which continues even two weeks later), and numerous local outlets.
And websites as diverse as The Drudge Report, The Huffington Post, and even Perez Hilton. And of course, a lively discussion, to say the least, within the Twitterverse itself. Given all of that interest, we wanted to put out an FAQ. TweetDeck’s Underground Project: Allowing TweetDecks To Talk To Nearby TweetDecks. TweetDeck's Underground Project: Allowing TweetDecks To Talk To Nearby TweetDecks (TCTV) Now that TweetDeck’sAndroid app is out in beta mode, with its multiple streams (notably Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Google Buzz) and blended options, many users want to know when TweetDeck will overhaul its iPhone app. The company’s CEO and founder, Iain Dodsworth, who dropped by TechCrunch’s headquarters on Wednesday, says it could be a “good couple of months.” So, what is taking the British startup so bloody long? According to Dodsworth, his 15-man team is pretty strained, from working on updates to the desktop client, the Android app, the iPhone app and new features like User Streams (which delivers tweets in virtual real-time).
Dodsworth, a self-proclaimed perfectionist, also has a few tricks up his sleeve— you can bet that the iPhone version will be more than just a mirror of the new Android app. During our chat, we also got a look at TweetDeck’s numbers.
