Twitter Testing Real Time Tweet Alerts On Web
While I enjoy checking out Twitter applications such as TweetDeck, in the end I enjoy kicking it old school with Twitter, using the “plain old” web to tweet and reply. (So does Robert Scoble, so I feel as though I’m in good company.) Therefore, Twitter features that help to enhance the web-based experience definitely catch [...]
Share Tweets with Friends Right in GMail – The Steve Rubel Lifestream
via steverubel.com I’m really interested right now in the interaction between Google products (gmail, Google Reader), Posterous, and Twitter. And FriendFeed? Still trying to figure out where FF fits in these days.

Twitter, Letterman style
When Kevin Spacey is teaching David Letterman how to use Twitter on television, you know that it’s pretty big.

#CNNFail, Iran, Twitter, and Sunday morning
As I succinctly noted on Twitter, my morning roughly started as follows: I woke up, fired up coffee, eggs, ham, and toast (which constitutes a fancy breakfast in my house). Checked e-mail and hit the front page of The New York Times online, which is oddly making its way back around to being one of [...]
Using Social Media Sites As “RSS Readers”
Increasingly, social media web sites are becoming much more than places to keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues online.

Social Networks For 2009 That Web Workers Need To Pay Attention To
For web workers, some social networks matter more than others. What I mean by that is while MySpace is still one of the most popular web sites on the planet (Alexa has it ranked No. 9 currently), it’s simply not that important — in relative terms — for connecting with colleagues, potential customers and contacts; [...]
Web workers of the world unite, ahhight
I’ve joined Web Worker Daily as a contributing writer, a GigaOM Network site. Pretty cool stuff as I have the opportunity to continue to explore new products, ideas, and trends surrounding social media and the webs, in this case to help (hopefully!) empower, inform, and occasionally entertain web workers around the globe. Here’s a glimpse [...]
The Future of Twitter: Integrated Search, Trends, Featured Users
People have been speculating on how Twitter is going to make money for what seems like forever. This slideshow from Fred Wilson, a venture capitalist with Union Square Ventures (which has invested in Twitter), features a screenshot that may signal how it’s actually going to happen. Slide 22 simply reads: Where We Are Going And [...]
Should RSS be Jettisoned On the Information Journey?
A Stay N’ Alive piece (is there a cooler blog name than that?) by Jesse Stay called My Hiatus From RSS – Is RSS Really Necessary? made me think about my own ongoing challenge/struggle/scramble to grapple with the massive number of news stories, blog posts, comments, tweets, and on and on that might potentially be [...]
