What if Twitter launched a #TV app? Here’s what it could look like
On the VC panel at the Lost Remote Show, Chris Fralic, partner at First Round Capital, praised Twitter’s approach to building a standalone music app that ties to external services like Spotify. He raised the idea that Twitter could do the same for TV, which certainly sounds plausible, especially as Twitter #Music continues to ride high on the App Store charts.
In what would be an inevitable push for the company building toward a TV-centric future, Twitter is reportedly in talks to add live video to its platform through deals with Viacom and NBC, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Can Twitter elevate the “second screen” with live video?
The Voice : un bel exemple de correlation entre l'audience TV et l'audience sociale, mais dans quel sens ? - D.R. Selon cette étude de Nielsen et Social Guide , réalisée à partir de plus de 140 programmes, Twitter apparaît comme l’une des trois variables significatives susceptibles d’influencer l’audience des émissions TV.

MIT Professor Creates Algorithm To Predict Trending Topics On Twitter – Before Twitter
How much do you think businesses would pay to know which topics would be trending on Twitter before they happen? We’re not talking about paying for promoted trends here. This MIT professor claims to have figured out how to predict topics that will organically trend on Twitter before Twitter even knows they will trend. In case you didn’t know, a trending topic is one which people are talking about now more than at any other point, or one which has previously been popular but is now popular with a new group of people. As Twitter explains, “The Trends list captures the hottest emerging topics, not just what’s most popular. Put another way, Twitter favors novelty over popularity.”
Apple Is Said to Discuss an Investment in Twitter
While Apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social media are increasingly influencing how people spend their time and money — an important consideration for Apple, which also sells applications, games, music and movies. Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said.
Twitter va-t-il (enfin) trouver son business model ?
C'est un signe des temps. En attendant que le mot "tweet" fasse son entrée dans l'édition 2012 du dictionnaire Le Robert, les six candidats aux primaires socialistes ont passé l'été à alimenter activement leur compte Twitter pour faire campagne à coups d'iPad ou de BlackBerry. Tout juste cinq ans après sa création aux Etats-Unis, le site de microblogging Twitter est devenu un des services web les plus populaires au monde. Mais, pour son PDG Dick Costolo, la plate-forme n'a rien d'un média social. A quoi sert-elle alors ?
Pour être efficace sur les réseaux sociaux, il faut être actif et diffuser régulièrement des contenus intéressants. Oui, certes. Mais attention : trop d'info tue l'info ! Et sur les réseaux sociaux comme ailleurs, le seuil de "tolérance" à une surabondance d'information existe. Voilà pourquoi, sur vos profils, un partage de contenus en nombre trop important (" oversharing ") peut avoir un impact négatif sur le nombre de personnes qui vous suivent. Justement, quantitativement, quel est le nombre de messages quotidiens qu'il ne faut pas dépasser ?
Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn : ne publiez pas trop souvent !
By Sarah Harris UPDATED: 13:41 GMT, 30 July 2011 Facebook and Twitter have created a generation obsessed with themselves, who have short attention spans and a childlike desire for constant feedback on their lives, a top scientist believes. Repeated exposure to social networking sites leaves users with an 'identity crisis', wanting attention in the manner of a toddler saying: 'Look at me, Mummy, I've done this.' Baroness Greenfield, professor of pharmacology at Oxford University, believes the growth of internet 'friendships' – as well as greater use of computer games – could effectively 'rewire' the brain. Vain generation: A top Oxford scientist has warned that repeated exposure to social networking websites could harm users.
Facebook and Twitter creating vain generation of self-obsessed people
Twitter has analyzed the 25 billion tweets sent in 2010 and published the list of top overall trends in the year behind us, as well as the top 10 trending topics in eight categories: news events, people, movies, television, technology, World Cup, sports and hashtags.
And the Top Twitter Trends of 2010 Are…
This is the latest post in our series, TwitterPowerhouses, which focuses on the contributions of people who've helped to expand, influence, and redefine how we view social networking. What inspires you? The answer to that question can be found in the timeless words of a visionary leader or literary giant, the stunning beauty of historical landmarks and modern marvels, or the fighting spirit and the responsibility to support causes that speak to the very best of what humanity has to offer. Or, all of the above. Truly, inspiration is a brand than can never be oversold.
