Twitter For Newsrooms!? Twitter *Is* A Newsroom. Earlier this morning Twitter released “Twitter for Newsrooms,” its primer on how to use Twitter to gather and report news in the 21st century.
#TfN is Twitter’s official nudge to old school reporters, a heavy handed reminder to get with the program and embrace Twitter as media production and consumption device. The company’s missive to journalists is pure straight talk, “We know you come from different generations. Some are native to the pilcrow, others native to the hashtag. You began your careers in different media: radio, print, broadcast, online and mobile.” … And you have all somehow ended up on Twitter. Ball’s in our court.
For those curious, Twitter’s (and obviously self-perpetuating) suggestions for using it to report include taking advantage of the new non-rate limited search and its advanced search tool that allows for sentiment analysis and other search drill downs. But is Twitter essentially preaching to the choir on this one? Lulzsec est mort – Vive Antisec ! Lulzsec est mort – Vive Antisec !
Lulzsec a tiré sa révérence il y a quelques jours en libérant un énorme fichier contenant tout un tas de mots de passe et d'explorations d'intranets de grosses sociétés. Les blackhats les plus recherchés et les plus couillus du net ont surement pas mal de flics au cul, sans compter les internautes justiciers qui s'y mettent aussi. D'ailleurs, quelques listes de noms supposés être ceux des membres de Lulzsec ont vu le jour de ci de là sur la toile. Mais les Lulzsec vont-ils vraiment disparaitre ? Peut être pas totalement, car le mouvement Antisec lancé avant les Lulzsec continue ses actions.
Avec les Lulzsec, c'était tout le contraire. Avec Antisec, j'ai l'impression qu'on arrive sur quelque chose comme ça. Quoiqu'il en soit, j'ai hâte de voir la suite...

Last month, founder David Karp noted that Tumblr was now seeing over 250 million pageviews a day.
As we noted, that was incredible since as recently as July of 2009, they were seeing 250 million pageviews for the entire month. But it turns out that the numbers are much more incredible than they first appeared. I noticed this when Tumblr President John Maloney posted earlier today that Tumblr was now doing north of 8.4 billion monthly pageviews. That number was around 7 billion just a month ago, and when I drilled down into Tumblr’s publicly available numbers on Quantcast, I noticed a massive surge in pageviews in the last few weeks. So massive, in fact, that the data looks more like a solar flare. So what happened? So what does that mean for Tumblr’s numbers? Karp credits international growth and faster response times to Tumblr’s amazing trajectory.
Both men are also quick to credit the Tumblr engineering team which has been handling the load after downtime problems earlier in the year.
