alvin + heidi toffler {futurists} :: Books Revolutionary Wealth Starting with the publication of their seminal best-seller, Future Shock, Alvin and Heidi Toffler have given millions of readers new ways to think about personal life in today's high-speed world with its constantly changing, seemingly random impacts on our businesses, governments, families and daily lives. Now, writing with the same rare grasp and clarity that made their earlier books classics, the Tofflers turn their attention to the revolution in wealth now sweeping the planet. And once again, they provide a startling, penetrating, coherent way to make sense of the seemingly senseless. Revolutionary Wealth is about how tomorrow's wealth will be created, who will get it and how. They show the hidden connections between extreme sports, chocolate chip cookies, Linux software and the "surplus complexity" in our lives as society wobbles back and forth between depressing decadence and a hopeful post-decadence.
Why Tweet? “Why should I be on Twitter? No one cares what I’m doing and I don’t care what they are doing.” This is the most common answer for people who aren’t currently using the social media platform when asked about it. That’s the easy answer, but let’s dig a little deeper into why people give that answer. “Why should I be on Twitter?” – “I don’t really understand how it works and why it matters.” It’s the best way to stay up to date on current events. A few other reasons to be on Twitter… interaction with your favorite brandsnetworkingstaying abreast of the latest trends in your fieldkeeping up-to-date on your interests and hobbiesfollowing your favorite sports teamsfinding out about Twitter-only promotions (sometimes companies give away free stuff)following hashtags during events to follow the live “backchannel” chatter “No one cares what I’m doing and I don’t care what they are doing.” – “I already update Facebook, can’t people just look there?” Your opinion matters and companies are listening.
Twitter Has 100 Million Active Users Twitter has 100 million active users logging in at least once a month and 50 million active users every day, CEO Dick Costolo revealed Thursday. The microblogging service has a total of 200 million registered users, but how many of those are actually regulars has been open to debate for some time. Costolo, in an informal chat with tech reporters he called his "state of the union," revealed that exactly half of them log in monthly — a number he says is up 82% since the beginning of the year. The CEO offered a whole raft of statistics to prove that Twitter is healthy and growing like a weed — especially on mobile platforms. Some 55 million users log on to Twitter from their phone or tablet every month. Less than 40% of users have not tweeted in the last month, according to the CEO, preferring to simply follow the timelines of others.
Twitter & Bing Show Their Love for Each Other..via Twitter Subjot: A Twitter alternative that lets you curate content - TNW Apps Do we really need more social networks? Looking at New York based Chris and Becky Carella’s latest venture, Subjot, the answer could well be ‘yes’. Twitpic founder Noah Everett just launched his own Twitter clone, Heello, which has been met with raised eyebrows and confusion. Heello feels far too much like a barebones version of Twitter, at least for the time being. Subjot, on the other hand, makes a decent effort in terms of setting itself apart. Subjot is not just another Twitter clone. How does it work? When sending an update, which is limited to 250 characters, you can accompany that update with a ‘subject’ of your choice. This has been a recurring problem on Twitter, with no real solution aside from using a filter on apps like TweetDeck, or a chrome extension such as Twitter Filter, if you prefer to use a Web interface. A much-needed feature is the ability to see a stream of all jots with one specific label. What’s missing? There are a few basic features missing from Subjot.
