Twitter Happiness Map. Yammer Is Breaking Down the AAA’s Silos. Erste Gespräche: Twitter-Interessenten bieten bis zu zehn Milliarden Dollar - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten - Netzwelt. New York - Der Internet-Kurznachrichtendienst Twitter ist begehrt: Der Wert der Firma beträgt nach einem Bericht des "Wall Street Journal" bis zu zehn Milliarden Dollar. Diese Summe hätte eine Firma bei Sondierungsgesprächen über eine mögliche Übernahme geboten. In den vergangenen Monaten sollen auch Facebook und Google erste Gespräche mit Twitter aufgenommen haben - bisher allerdings ohne Ergebnis oder auch nur konkrete Fortschritte.
Die angeblich gebotene Summe ist gewaltig: Noch im Dezember hatte Twitter bei Investoren 200 Millionen Dollar auf Basis einer Bewertung von nur 3,7 Milliarden Dollar eingesammelt. Damit hätte sich der Wert der Firma binnen weniger Wochen mehr als verdoppelt. Im vergangenen Jahr erzielte Twitter dem Bericht zufolgeeinen Umsatz von 45 Millionen Dollar. Wegen des Ausbaus der Mitarbeiterzahl und der Technik-Infrastruktur habe es einen Verlust gegeben. Eine Überladung mit Werbung lehnten die Gründer von Anfang an ab - aus Angst, die Nutzer zu verschrecken. How Facebook and Twitter Are Replacing Blogging - Jeff Bercovici - Mixed Media. HOW TO: Customize Your Background for the New Twitter. Last month, Twitter unveiled a total site redesign. The new Twitter homepage is robust, more like a stand-alone application, and offers support for multimedia, keyboard shortcuts, and easy access to various types of content.
The new design also has different dimensions (originally based on the golden ratio) and treats backgrounds in a slightly different way. The result is that a carefully customized Twitter background that looked fantastic on the old Twitter, may not work so well with the new design. In many cases, the best solution is to create a new color scheme or background design to fit into the new parameters.As more and more users are gaining access to the new Twitter, we thought it would be a good time to revisit the area of Twitter customizations. Fortunately, Twitter now offers some fantastic theming tools to make the process less of a chore, and we've created some Photoshop (PSD) files mapped to the dimensions of the new Twitter to help give you a head start.

Während bei Twitter etc. die „Meformer“ in der Überzahl sind und die „Informer“ nur etwa 20 Prozent ausmachen, dreht sich dieses Verhältnis im Enterprise 2.0-Einsatz um. Eine qualitative Auswertung von fast 1000 Posts ergab, dass nicht ein einziger Beitrag privater oder banaler Natur war, sondern durchgehend Informationen mit klarem Bezug zur Arbeit ausgetauscht wurden.

The other evening Facebook followed the First Rule of IT support – turn it off and on again. On Thursday, it was having such huge problems with its network that the only solution, as Robert Johnson, its director of software engineering, explained on Friday morning, was "turning off the site". Wow. Half a billion people suddenly unable to access the biggest social network in the world. You didn't notice? Compare it with lunchtime last Tuesday, when Twitter began to be overrun by a little piece of hacking – so that if you went to the twitter.com site itself, "infected" tweets at first popped up fake warnings; later mutations meant you'd reweet infected tweets just by moving your mouse. Although subsequent analysis shows that it only affected a maximum of 1% of users, that's still around 1.45m accounts hit in two hours, including the redoubtable Lord Sugar and the White House's spokesman.

Twitter is where it's at. Want to know what's been happening over time and in the context of other events? That's where it gets a little more complicated. Fortunately, Twitter's open API means that Trending Topics aren't just for the network's homepage. Developers can tap in and display data about popular tweets, terms, and URLs that allow us to compare and track trends over time and find out what's hot or newsworthy beyond that simple top ten list. Whether you're tracking your brand, optimizing your content, or just plain curious about the way information is virally shared, you'll want to check out these five web-based tools for keeping tabs on Twitter trends. 1.

Usually such programs are organized by big-city libraries. Seattle started the trend for collective reading in 1998 when zillions of Seattlites all read Russell Banks’ book, Sweet Hereafter.
When the program works — and it doesn’t always — it gets more people reading, more people talking and more people generally appreciating the written word. A few weeks ago, I was reading about the Chicago’s read-along for a grad seminar on social capital I’m taking with Robert Putnam this semester. The thought struck me that Twitter would provide a much better platform for a book club than the mere accident of physical proximity.
Here’s how it’d go: Now: We collect nominations for what book we want to read.
