Ten technical Twitter tips for journalists So you think you know Twitter? But do you know how to archive tweets, set up an RSS feed of a Twitter stream or have private group chat? Here are some practical, technical tips to help you: 1. What's Pando? By Paul Carr On December 13, 2012 “You’ve gotta be tough, you’ve got to fight for what you believe in.” – Travis Kalanick Uber sent a rousing victory email to its users — “the Uber faithful” — today, announcing that NY Cab regulators are allowing Uber to trial its taxi hailing service. A cynic might note a slight change in CEO Travis Kalanick’s opinion of the NY Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and regulators in general. But I’m no cynic. In fact, I can see literally no difference in what “Varuca Galt” Kalanick was saying a few months ago, and what he’s saying now.

Topsy: Now Searching Tweets Back To May 2008 Looking for old tweets? Look to Topsy. The service has just expanded to have what it claims to be the largest searchable collection of past tweets, over 5 billion of them, stretching back to at least May 2008. That makes it more comprehensive than Google’s Twitter search or even Twitter’s own Twitter Search. Topsy will be sharing the news itself later today, on its blog. Beyond being comprehensive, another nice thing about Topsy is the ability to restrict a search using special “operators” or commands — such as “from” — to find tweets from a particular user or the ability to see tweets within a particular date range.

BitLet - the BitTorrent Applet In the summer of 2007, shortly after launching Novlet, Daniele and I still had time to spare and were looking for something new to build. Sure enough, within a short period, Daniele came up with the idea that would soon become BitLet: a BitTorrent client that could run in a browser without requiring users to install anything on their computer. Back then, browsers had very limited capabilities: AJAX had been recently introduced (in 2005), web applications were moving from static pages to dynamic client UIs but no browser could do things like opening sockets and writing files locally, central requirements for a peer to peer file sharing application. We found a solution in an unlikely piece of technology: Java applets. Despite Java’s success as a programming language, applets had never been that popular among casual users. While a good idea in principle (small applications that could be downloaded and launched from web pages), the concept never got traction beyond a few niches.
