TweetDeck is updated with many improvements

samedi 22 mai 2010

TweetDeck is one of the most used clients for intensive users of Twitter from your desktop, either Windows, Mac or Linux, since it is based on Adobe AIR technology. Already, a client is fairly complete, but allows convenient access to your contacts, but as has been released Version 0.34.1.

In this update, we found several integrations such as Google Buzz or foursquare, but if you do not use the latter, also allow you geolocalizarte TweetDeck as you can see in the video above showing all the new concepts.

On the other hand, have added new shorten URLs to which we already had and upload video directly from a file or live from the webcam to the server TwitVid.

Also we will have global filters in our columns to filter unwanted tweets, in addition to program messages when they want. Very useful utility to send messages at a time when we are unable to do so or simply because we do not trust our memory. Interesting for business Twitter accounts.

Finally, since we publish TweetDeck in services like Wordpress or Tumblr and other services that are compatible with the Twitter API.

Spotify has been working hard for months to bring us a new version of the streaming music service known the world over and although the artists are complaining that the system of payment based on number of plays were not profitable, to not want to give Spotify and now becomes much more social.

Among the many features that we find, Spotify will have direct connection to
Facebook, where we add all our contacts and view their profiles on the right sidebar. Once you have "connected" to Spotify, every time you share music tracks will play on the news page. From now on we will also have more elsewhere, called "inbox" where your friends can send songs and playlists.

On the other hand, do not forget Spotify our mobile devices and now to synchronize our lists will not have to connect a USB cable, but we will sync via WiFi.

The playlists are editable and you will see who the user who added a track ("also know who the funny that has been erased?), In addition to knowing the popularity of each one of them, knowing at any time how many users have subscribed.

On the other hand, Spotify will give you the ability to import songs in local mode, synchronizing both our lists we have in the computer and in the cloud.

Also the visual side has been more careful, and when we are playing a list, the covers of the first nine songs will be represented as a mosaic.

Finally, Twitter has not been forgotten and to share songs at any time you like, now you have buttons to share both Facebook and on Twitter. Spotify Version 0.4 will automatically update throughout the week.

Advertising on Twitter, and what users think

vendredi 23 avril 2010

Finally, advertising has come to Twitter so "official" as from yesterday, have begun to show in the form of sponsored ads Tweets that have been paid by companies like Virgin America. After more than three years, this site has been transformed into a platform for real-time information will begin to monetize the content.

After enjoying a site without ads for a long time, it's time to see sponsorships, but has ensured that they are as annoying as possible. After the launch of the marketing of Twitter, some regular users have begun to say in the matter. According to data from Crimson Hexagon, interestingly 42% of users consider advertising as spam / upset and they want off-site, is a very large percentage of users who disagree, and perhaps the group of users have more activity or considered loyal users.

On the other hand 31% of the twitters regard this announcement as an interesting move, but would like to see more before accepting its operation completely. And if Twitter is able to integrate advertising without annoying users, will be a major step in the monetization of the site and to keep users happy at the same time. It is a difficult course.

Only 27% of the population believes that Twitter tweets are sponsored sensible business model, which does not greatly affect the common user activity and therefore have given their approval.

Now it remains to see if the tweets are sent via API-sponsored as well, since many people (myself included) use Twitter from third party applications (clients, either desktop or mobile platforms). While analyzing the possibilities, it is likely that third-party programs are free of advertising, at least at first.

Tweetup Founder Launches Overture, "Adsense For Twitter"

mercredi 21 avril 2010

tweetup is a new startup that focuses on marketing and advertising on Twitter. In fact the idea is more complex and goes beyond display ads as there is only a strategy to monetize sites that appear in a sort of timeline. In simple words, tweetup is a search engine for Twitter that integrates AdWords advertising style.

Basically way for advertisers to bid for a spot in the search results. Each time you search for tweets with certain keywords, some messages tweetup sponsored show at the top, as if any message. With the help of an algorithm will determine the relevance of a tweet to establish what appears so high in the results pages, which help maintain the relevance of the information to be displayed in this little form. These ideas were implemented by Google to make lots of money, let's see if it works the same concept applied to Twitter.

Advertisers will have 3 options for bids: impressions, for each new follower is achieved and per click. At first, advertisers bid for print only be priced at $ 0.01 USD / printing; to encourage initial investment tweetup giving $ 100 USD to the first 1000 advertisers in starting a campaign.

This is a good idea, and we may be facing a new business opportunity in Twitter, which already has a user base of several million.

Indeed, this mechanism results in a search engine to sell was implemented by GoTo, idealab a startup of who are the same as those behind the project of tweetup, so no experience in between.

Twitter purchase Tweetie and transforms it into the official client

vendredi 16 avril 2010

The news bomb today. Twitter has reached an agreement (financial of course) with the developer Loren Brichta and implementation has integrated ecosystem Tweetie its official application form (for iPhone and iPod Touch platform.) In fact, the application name change and will be renamed Twitter For iPhone with the aim to have consistency with the nomenclature of products.

Tweetie is a program available for iPhone and iPod Touch is sold on the App Store for $ 2.99 USD but from now on will be completely free. In the coming weeks is expected that the transition is complete, by which time applications like Twittelator Pro or Echofon will vie for the market users with premium customers.

Perhaps in the near future we see the official application for the IPAD Twitter, which would be logical because the SDK shares almost all the components in the iPhone. Regarding Mac Tweetie has not said anything so will probably continue as a standalone application.

Dribbble, photo gallery and social network for designers

mardi 13 avril 2010

Dribbble is an experiment that combines concepts we've seen before on the one hand it is a gallery of images uploaded by designers in order to show their work to others (and in the process receive feedback or feedback) and other front is also a small social network. This dynamic is very simple and actually fun, because you can find very good work by other users. The gallery is composed of Shots (screenshots) that have a size of 400 × 300 pixels. Every time a person climbs a Shot, others can comment on that image or you can make a catch with the option I like. The profile of each person can view the favorite Shots and a little information about the individual.

Each user is limited to 24 Shots per month increase, which seems small, but if we consider that Dribbble is a site that is starting, it may be a matter of scalability, and in the future we may see this restriction removed.

For now you can not create an account on this site, unless a user to invite us, as the registration process has been limited to invitation only, although there are many people interested in, is good to limit the activity at first especially for performance.

twitter translate tweets automatically, with help from Google

dimanche 28 mars 2010

Now that Twitter is available not only in English, are doing many positive things for internationalizing the service as possible, given the enormous volume of users from around the world. It would not be surprising that the staff is preparing Twitter developments regarding the ability to view content in one language or another.

A basic feature would be for example, tweets automatically translate to the language preferred by each user, would like to incorporate a translation service perfectly camouflaged in the Twitter interface.In fact since this can be achieved, although it is by no means official. Using some Greasemonkey scripts can make twitts automatically translate, but it is always better to have an inhouse solution (developed by the same developers of Twitter) for reasons of performance, interoperability and efficiency of course.

All this comes in the wake of a screen shot of Mark Hachman, AppScout editor who realized that there is a link in the sidebar to translate Tweets. For now you can only translate from any language into English, and the service is provided by Google.

Although at least this change, I think it is an interesting addition but especially useful, especially for those who follow people of different nationalities. Let's see if more news comes about Twitter and the use of language in the information.

Facebook will open its information flow

jeudi 25 mars 2010

Surely you're fearing for your information and pictures on Facebook just read the statement if you have a profile, and maybe you'll have every reason to fear for your privacy, but not for the reason that Facebook will open its information flow, by this tranquil estate.

As Facebook announced they intend to give access to their information flow of public users, ie if you have privacy settings well done, in principle, you need not fear for your data.

Facebook's intention is none other than to offer this information to developers in the next F8 conference in April to invite them to write applications and connections to your network, using this data and offer them to users.

The very openness of information flow, Twitter made a while back with the data of its users and because she got some of their most important partners and, on the other hand, developers, books, programs of hundreds of applications that are available in the network to access Twitter today (and continuing to develop and publish from time to time).

For me personally, every time they speak of "distributed" user information privacy worries me most in my network, but Facebook has already promised a thousand times, actively and passively, never do anything that could harm the privacy of its users ... yet you trust the security of Facebook?.

lundi 22 mars 2010

A new phishing attack (phishing) is underway and there are many users who have been affected by this attack. The contents of DM (direct message) has the phrase "You're on here?" (Are you here?). Reading the rest of the message we are informed that someone spoke to us in a blog. The attack occurs when the user clicks on the URL of the message, which leads to a site where your information is asked to identify themselves Twitter. When the user fills, is stolen the password.

The suggestion is that if someone receives a message with the above features, not even risk it and not click on the link. The thing to do is delete the message and alert other users about this attack. We recommend browsing with care and not delivering the data to any site that asks for it compromises safety.

Since the birth of Twitter (when it was then considered a service microblogs) to Yammer, a Twitter-like tool, only at corporate level and certain collaboration features. Microsoft is about to enter this field with a new product, which is now at an early stage. OfficeTalk is the name of the product that the Redmond company is developing. In short it is a platform based on micrblogging benefits for employees of an organization can speak freely. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, notes, etc.. All that content can be published in OfficeTalk.

By bringing the Office into the name brand, are likely to see implementations of the suite of Microsoft.
