That's why we're super excited by today's news that Tumblr now has their own official native iPhone app and it's completely free. The new Tumblr app is actually just a freshly updated and re-branded version of the existing $1.99 Tumblerette app, so you can expect the same look and feel, ease of use, with a few extra twists, but now free of charge. It's unclear from Tumblr's blog post on the app whether or not it's a formal acquisition of Tumblerette or simply a partnership, but given that Tumblerette already mimicked the online tumblr options for posting photos, video, text, quotes, audio, links, and chat, we think it's a smart move.
With the new free version you now get access to your personal Tumblr Dashboard for a mobile view of you and your friends' tumblr posts. Update: Tumblr's John Maloney confirms that this deal was an acquisition in the comments below. More Tumblr Resources From Mashable. Joint Contact: First Business Tool To Integrate Twitter? Enterprise 2.0 is a rapidly growing trend that takes the concepts and tools of social media (social networking, RSS, wikis, blogs, etc.) and re-purposes them for business use, wrapping them up into applications that make the tools at work seem more like the tools we use in our day-to-day lives. While these enterprise 2.0 apps give us that web 2.0 feel, it’s rarer to see actual Web 2.0 services like Facebook or Twitter used by businesses. And although we’ve seen many people promoting the business use of Twitter, we had not yet heard about anyone actually going so far as to integrate Twitter into a non-consumer focused application.
However, that’s just what Joint Contact has done. Their PM tool now shows how tweeting can actually be a productive activity. Twitter For Work?

Twitter Replaces Email. The ROI From Twitter: "Don't bother" telling your. O’Reilly Media held a Webinar this afternoon that was promoted as delivering “power tips” on how to use Twitter. In the question and answer period, after Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstein delivered their tips, one of the questions was: “How do you quantify the benefit of Twitter to a CFO?”
O’Reilly’s response: “I wouldn’t bother.” It’s very difficult to quantify the return on investment of Twitter, to an organization, he said. Instead, he takes a Nike stance on it: “Just use it.” Just use it and the value will become apparent, he contends. Sure, he acknowledges that the around-the-clock pressure to issue insightful tweets of your own and at same time constantly watch the tweet streams of folks you follow can be a time sink. So I thought I’d use one of the “power tips” and see if there was an answer. Maybe I’m not willing to click far enough down on the stream, but searching on “ROI from Twitter” doesn’t produce much. But the R.O.I. on Twitter still seems to be just that. 1. 1. 11 Things to Avoid When Using Twitter. Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by hilzfuld in Web inShare44 Twitter has taken off since my last post.

CIO — Twitter, a social networking site that allows people to track each other by writing and exchanging short text messages, has spurred business technology leaders to investigate how they might utilize such a service to improve their organizations' ability to collaborate and communicate with colleagues and customers. Twitter has gained popularity among the social media digerati in large part because it addresses the problem of information overload on the Web by requiring that users keep their posts brief and concise (140 characters or less).
It's become a phenomenon known as "microblogging," and other sites such as Pownce and Jaiku have started similar services. Users follow friends, colleagues, media figures, bloggers, online publishers and complete strangers whose updates they find interesting enough to monitor. But while users can see Twitter's practical benefits, the service has been dogged with outages (mostly server performance issues) that have threatened its viability.
