Google Maps API Tutorial If you've got lots of addresses to geocode, then you can't just write a loop that calls the getAddress() function in the previous example several times.

What’s Happening Now: Hashtags on Twitter Lists So over the last few days, there’s been so much chat around the roll out of official Twitter lists that some people have probably even blogged about them.

Most Tweets Produce Zero Replies or Retweets [STUDY] Sysomos, maker of social media analysis tools, looked at 1.2 billion tweets over a two-month period to analyze what happens after we publish our tweets to Twitter. Its research shows that 71% of all tweets produce no reaction — in the form of replies or retweets — which suggests that an overwhelming majority of our tweets fall on deaf ears.
