On hitting a million twitter followers. The official website of Amanda Fucking Palmer. 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 Update : Added two paragraphs below. 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. Order, and No Tweeting, in the Court! 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.

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. 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. Why is it important to preserve the Twitter archive? Twitter is part of the historical record of communication, news reporting, and social trends – all of which complement the Library’s existing cultural heritage collections.
What is in the Archive? 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.
