Le réseau social musical d'Apple, Ping, s'associe à Twitter. Breaking Tweets | World News, Twitter-Style. Twitter now has 75M users; most asleep at the mouse - Computerwo. News January 26, 2010 12:02 PM ET Computerworld - The number of Twitter users has climbed to a lofty 75 million, but the growth rate of new users is slowing and a lot of current Twitterers are inactive, according to a study released today. The rate of new user growth peaked last July at about 7.8 million a month. That number has dropped to about 6.2 million new users a month now, according to a study from RJMetrics Inc., which develops online metric analysis software. The past six months, the study also noted, have seen a steady falloff in the number of new accounts. "When you look at new account registrations, no one can deny that Twitter is still growing like a rocket ship.
Actually, the study shows that a lot of Twitter accounts aren't active, and the number of accounts that sent even one tweet in a given month hit an all-time low in December. According to the findings, only 17% of all Twitter accounts Twittered last month. And a lack of engagement is showing up. Ad.ly, un autre service de statistiques pour Twitter | Presse-Ci.

Les Statistiques officielles de Twitter en France | To Be Change. Cela fait des mois que de nombreux professionnels du web français essaient de mettre en valeur la « twittosphère » en donnant des chiffres sortant de nul part. Et bien pour la première fois depuis sa création Twitter dévoile enfin les chiffres de connexions à son service depuis la France : Twitter for business. 2010-01-11_1213. Enquête Twitter. Twitter de marques. Les statistiques de Twitter en France en 2009 | Média sociaux | Twitter Acquires Tweetie. Twitter has just announced that it acquired Tweetie, the very popular and highly polished Twitter application for the iPhone . The application will now be called “Twitter for iPhone” and will drop from $2.99 to free, with developer Loren Brichter (who makes up the one-man startup Atebits) joining the Twitter mobile team.
Twitter also plans to launch Twitter for the iPad, which Brichter will be involved with. It’s a move that manages to be both jarring and unsurprising at the same time. Unsurprising, because Twitter investor Fred Wilson recently wrote that Twitter developers needed to stop “filling holes” in Twitter’s product and instead build entirely separate businesses. In a blog post announcing the news, Twitter CEO Evan Williams explains the logic: people are going to iTunes, searching for a Twitter application, and not finding one so they give up (this sounds like a problem with iTunes search, but perhaps people really just want to see ‘Twitter’ in the application’s title):
Twitter+TV : l'impact du temps réel sur les contenus - Etreintes. C'est dire si la conférence Twitter était attendue : il fallait faire la queue depuis le bas de l'escalier pour accéder à l'auditorium où se tient cet après-midi, au MipTV, la conférence "TWITTER + TV: HOW REAL-TIME ENGAGEMENT IS CHANGING CONTENT". Autrement dit, comment le temps réel affecte et change les contenus.
La journaliste Kate Bulkley interroge Chloe Sladden, responsable des partenariats médias de Twitter, après avoir travaillé pour Current TV. Kate Buckley rappelle quelques chiffres : 4 ans d'existence, 50 millions de tweets par jour, une valorisation de 1 milliards de dollars. Et les questions : quel est le modèle économique ? Chloe Sladden : "commençons par le début et comment nous parlons de Twitter. Pourquoi sommes-nous si gros ? Kate : qu'y a-t-il à prendre pour les médias ?
Chloe : "votre audience est déjà sur Twitter et parle déjà de vos contenus. Kate : Twitter va donc doper les audiences ? Kate : comment les médias peuvent s'impliquer plus ? Developers In Denial: The Seesmic Case Study. The Seesmic Squeeze: how a company responds to market changes in. Take a pile of carbon and apply enough heat and pressure and you’ll get diamonds. Of course you might just not get it right and will end up with a pile of ash. If you talk with Loic Le Meur, CEO of Seesmic, he tells a story of feeling squeezed, just like a batch of carbon.
Squeezed by the press, like Techcrunch, who said that Le Meur is in denial of the storm brewing over the Twitter ecosystem after Twitter announced it will compete with the client partners it so famously enabled. Squeezed by Twitter who didn’t give him warning that it would soon compete with him and the other client developers. Even today, one of Twitter’s investors, Chris Sacca, is saying to “stay the course” to developers like Loic Le Meur, even though when I talk with developers they say the whole ecosystem has changed overnight.
Squeezed by even Apple who has famously put new rules in place for app developers and has shipped the iPad, which needs new development, and a new OS SDK, which will need new development. 1. Google's Twitter Timeline Lets You Explore the Past. As Google has worked to add more and more real-time search capabilities by adding content from sites like Facebook, MySpace, Buzz and Twitter, we've been able to see more and more what people are talking about online. Google's latest feature, which it is announcing today, takes real-time data and puts it into a perspective we can work with - the past. Rather than letting all of this real-time data simply stream past and evaporate into thin air, Google is rolling out a "replay" feature, that lets you look at real-time data - in this case tweets - at any specific time in the past.
The feature offers a timeline of tweets, showing the volume of tweets containing relevant search terms, broken down according to scale. After playing with it for a few minutes, we were able to see that it even gets as narrow as a minute-by-minute breakdown of tweets on a topic. It will be available by clicking on "Show Options" on the left side of the Google search results screen and then "Updates". Angry Loïc — Chirp Edition.
THE TRUTH ABOUT TWITTER: Half Of Twitter Users Never Listen To A Word Anyone Else Says. The recent Pew study about Twitter usage revealed a few interesting things. First, only 8% of American adults use Twitter. This is more evidence that, despite its enormous popularity among tech and media folks--and its massive global user numbers--Twitter has yet to go mainstream. Second, fully half of these Twitter users basically never listen to a word anyone else says. In other words, half of Twitter users use Twitter as a sort of digital closet that they go into once in a while to mutter to themselves, with no one else listening. Third, less than a quarter of Twitter users, meanwhile, or 2% of American adults, are heavy Twitter users, using Twitter the way many tech and media folks do: Obsessively checking it several times a day to watch the news go by.
If Twitter's goal is to become the world's biggest media company, these trends need to change. Here are some other cool facts from the Pew study:
Twitter User Statistics REVEALED. Alyssa Milano Talks Tweeting Problem, "Dreamy" Jimmy Kimmel (VID. Twitter gets an official archive, but should it really belong to. Twitter has announced that it is to allow the largest library in the world, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., to maintain an archive of every tweet ever posted. Six months after they are posted, tweets will made available to the library for non-commercial research, display and preservation. It’s great to hear that Twitter now has an official archive, maintained by a third party.
Never before has there been such a vast silo of people’s thoughts and opinions from around the world, tied to a particular time (and more recently place) as there is in the complete Twitter timeline. It’s historically significant and well worth preserving. However, is the Library of Congress the best institution to look after it? As a federal institution, the Library of Congress is owned by the United States of America.
People throughout the world have poured their hearts and souls into Twitter over the past four years. What do you think? Twitter Testing Friends ‘You Both Follow’ Feature. According to a Tweet just posted by Twitter engineer Nick Kallen, the microblogging network has just enabled a new “You both follow” feature. The feature, which is only being tested for 10 percent of users, allows you to see any common people that you and another user both follow. Here’s a screenshot of what the feature looks like. The “You both follow” feature is pretty much what it sounds like. When you click on a contact it will show you the common people you both follow on the right sidebar of the page, just above the “following” tab.
It’s actually surprising the feature hasn’t been turned on sooner, considering how useful it is in showing your social connections between other Twitter users. “You both follow” is similar in theory to Facebook’s friends in common feature, which has been around for some time now. The feature no doubt makes Twitter a little more of an interconnected social network and it should be interesting if the microblogging network takes it a step further. Did Twitter Betray App Developers? While at the Chirp conference for Twitter developers, we ran into iPhone developer Brett MacLean, whose startup had been rightfully optimistic about their Twitter app — that is, until three days ago, when they got word that Twitter had acquired top iPhone app Tweetie and designated it the official Twitter app for iPhone.
In that move, Twitter lost a lot of the trust it had earned from developers working on its platform. These folks had built businesses around Twitter's APIs — a risk, to be sure. But even though they were working with another company's tech, these developers were given little information about Twitter's roadmap and future plans for features or native apps. Developers and entrepreneurs were truly caught off guard, as were their families and investors. All the devs we've spoken to today reveal a mixture of optimism and nervousness about the future of Twitter apps. Ex-Twitter Employee Didn’t Want to Work for an “Ad Company"
