The Year Of Tweeting Dangerously
BNET
- 2009-08-14
It's been a tough few months for Twitter and its users, as the social network service has been downed by several outages in recent weeks, dismissed as irrelevant by David Letterman and been used as the basis for a lawsuit by a landlord. But the biggest danger...
Who Will Own The Twittersphere?
BNET
- 2009-07-13
The race is on to see who can best capitalize on the Twitter phenomenon, and the betting's not on Twitter itself. Twitter has already proven that it serves a purpose well beyond "what are you doing now," which early adopters and maybe its founders took literally, and is being used...
Making A LinkedIn For Twitter
BNET
- 2009-07-02
Back in the days before Facebook, no one would have ever suggested that businesses get involved with social networks. Can you imagine someone suggesting to Michael Dell that his company ought to have a MySpace page? Today, not only does Dell Computer Company have a Facebook page...
Google Lost In Real-Time Space
BNET
- 2009-06-29
Here is a parable about Google that its executives seem to have forgotten: There once was a Web site so good that although all it ever did was send people away, they kept coming back, over and over and over again. Only to be sent away again. In fact,...
Microsoft Ignores Twitter Outlook Complaints
BNET
- 2009-06-25
Microsoft has seen the fury of the masses and like Atlas, shrugged. A Twitter campaign astroturfed by email marketing campaign vendor Freshview is asking (or is it begging?) Microsoft to reverse course on a key technology decision made for Office 2007 in its next release of Outlook,...
Twitter Isn't A Public Service
BNET
- 2009-06-21
Twitter has emerged as one of the most important communications tools of our time, but that doesn't mean we get to tell its owners what to do. Ever since Twitter started showing phenomenal usage growth, there's been a disconcerting trend among pundits and bloggers to insist that...
Google And Facebook Feeling Twitter Pressure
BNET
- 2009-06-18
Search is dead; long live real-time search. Twitter playing such an integral role in the Iranian election protests that the U.S. State Department asked its management to delay a maintenance shutdown only hastened the inevitable. Like it or not, Twitter is here to stay, and competing search engines know it....
Why Blogging Is On The Decline
BNET
- 2009-06-08
Blogging is in some ways the poster child for Web 2.0, which when you boil it down is an expression that signifies the Web's evolution from a static publishing platform to a communications and collaboration medium. But blogging is now in serious decline, to be replaced by tools from the...
Is Twitter Useless After All?
BNET
- 2009-05-29
I have seen the future of Twitter, and it is Google Wave -- which trumps Tweeting by allowing "the merging of documents, feeds, photos, e-mail, instant messaging, [and] event planning" in real-time. Twitter is many things, I suppose, but one of its highly-touted functions is to give...
Twitter Jumps The Shark
BNET
- 2009-05-26
Now this one really caught me off guard: Twitter is going Hollywood. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone confirmed multiple media reports (probably re-Tweeted thousands of times) that, "Twitter plans to launch an unscripted show that will put 'ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive...
