Twitter Follow Limit: Let’s Get It Right, Guys
I think the blogosphere is erupting in a classic case of typo-gasm. Yesterday, I inadvertently broke news of a 2,000 follow limit by Twitter by linking to somebody else’s story. Louis Gray, I believe, took the post from here and ran with it. It ballooned into a huge piece of news today. Social media at [...]
Twitter Limits to 2000 Follows. Could They Charge To Lift The Limit?
In my last post, I stated in passing that Twitter had limited accounts to following 2,000 people unless you already had more than 2,000 people you follow. Apparently, I broke this news to some – unwittingly. Interestingly, Twitter only sort of acknowledged this. It seems people are commenting on it on their own sites, as [...]
Twitter Marketers and Gaming The System
Like a lot of people who use Twitter, I have been getting what seems like an increasing number of internet marketers following me on Twitter. Now, I want to make a careful distinction here. Not all internet marketers are a problem. I know several internet marketers (a few personally) who use Twitter properly and are [...]
Seems Like Twitter Separates The Old From The New
As a person who runs a technology blog which has been around a long time, I am in a very weird position. PCMech was started back in 1997. That’s a LONG damn time ago. Before the Internet was that big a deal. Back when everybody had their heart skip a beat at the sight of [...]
TweetDeck: Cool, But Not Quite
I finally got around to giving the new Twitter client TweetDeck a try. In a word: interesting. As pictured below, the most obvious change here is multiple columns. You have one column for your normal timeline (similar to Twhirl), another for replies, another for direct messages. Makes it much easier to see what’s happening on [...]
Social Media & Internet Marketing: How NOT To Make Money Online
Anybody who is looking to make money online and wants to use social media as part of your marketing strategy…pay attention. Facebook. Myspace. Twitter. LinkedIn. These social media services are built on one thing: relationships. Now, if you were having a social gathering and somebody just ran into your room and started pitching their product, [...]
MicroBlogging Is About to Go All McDonalds On Us and I’m Tired Of It.
It seems like every week sees another launch or yet another new social media website. And right now, microblogging seems to be the fad. Twitter created the fad by being the standard bearer. Everybody jumped on board. The early adopters all wanted to have little baby whales with the Twitter. Then, Twitter started to crack [...]
FriendFeed Etiquette
A post by Chris Pirillo got me thinking about this subject. On FriendFeed, he said: Removing my Twitter stream from my FriendFeed stream. Why? Ping.fm supports posting directly to FriendFeed now. Social networks, untied. The general reaction on FriendFeed was positive to this. Bwana, for example, says: My name is Bwana, and I approve this [...]
TwitScoop Shows What’s Buzzing on Twitter. Awesome.
It is so cool to see some of the sites which are built atop Twitter. These are sites that could be integrated with Twitter at some point to create one of the best social platforms ever devised. It looks like Summize is being bought by Twitter, but this one emphasizes the "right now" nature of [...]
Mac Users: The Absolute Best Friendfeed App Is…
Like a lot of people, I dig FriendFeed. I find that it is much easier to have conversations on FriendFeed. And those conversations are based around the actual content we all produce on the Internet. Frickin’ awesome. The FriendFeed API, of course, allows for the creation of applications that will allow you to monitor FriendFeed [...]
