Developers salivating over Twitter's geolocation plans | ITworld

Developers salivating over Twitter's geolocation plans by Juan Carlos Perez August 26, 2009, 03:11 PM — IDG News Service — Twitter's plans to let its users attach geographic coordinates to their messages have external developers very interested at the possibilities this new geolocation functionality will open up for their applications. By the company's own admission, geotagging in the popular microblogging and social-networking service has been a rudimentary and inexact affair, dependent on a te... (more)

tr.im R.I.P. Regretfully, we here at Nambu have decided to shutdown tr.im, the first step in shutting down all of our products and services within that brand. tr.im did well for what it was, but, alas, it was not enough. We simply cannot find a way to justify continuing to work on it, or pay its network costs, which are not inconsequential. tr.im pushes (as I write this) a lot of redirects and URL creations per day, and this required significant development investment and server expansion to accommodat...

Delicious Freshens Up With Twitter, Which Its Founder Hates

Delicious was once one of the hottest social sites on the Internet. That’s why Yahoo bought it in 2005. But it’s weird now to even think about it as a social site, I get more of the utilitarian vibe from it these days. People still use it, but it’s more of a repository. Or, to put it another way, it’s where links go to die. Contrast that with services like Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed where people are sharing and re-sharing links all over the place, and having conversations about the content, making... (more)

$The Twitter Economy: URL-Shortener bit.ly Raises $2 Million First Round$

Twitter may be on the path to bringing in real revenue, but that’s not the case for most of the other startups like TweetDeck and Stocktwits that have launched various add-ons. Still, that lack of an obvious business model hasn’t scared investors away: both TweetDeck and Stocktwits have raised six-figure seed rounds, with similar services like Identi.ca also nabbing funding. The latest Twitter-related startup to get funding is URL-shortening service bit.ly, which picked up a $2 million first round, per R... (more)

Military May Ban Twitter, Facebook as Security ‘Headaches’ | Danger Room | Wired.com

The U.S. military is strongly considering a near-total ban on Twitter, Facebook, and all other social networking sites throughout the Department of Defense, multiple sources within the armed forces tell Danger Room. It’s the latest twist in the Defense Department’s tangled relationship with so-called “Web 2.0″ sites. But while earlier social media blockades have been thrown up over bandwidth and secrecy concerns, this fresh ban stems from fears that Facebook and the like make it far too easy for hacke... (more)

Here is the gist of the conversation: Why tweet? In the US alone, there are 26.5 million people on Twitter and among them are many, if not most of the most influential people in the country. These people are talking about all of the issues of the day, from the most mundane to the most pr... (more)

Automate Your Home Using ioBridge and Twitter

Earlier this week we brought you the story of the house that twitters. In this post we explore another experimental system that uses Twitter to automate tasks. Matt Morey, by day an engineer for Texas Instruments, has developed a two-way, home automation application using Twitter and ioBridge. We all know about Twitter, the now massively popular 140 character messaging service. ioBridge will be new to many.

Don't Ignore The Least Common Denominator

There's been a healthy debate of late about whether mobile apps are a long term business or whether web apps running on mobile devices will ultimately win out. It's an important debate to have and while I favor mobile web apps, the current state of mobile technology and connectivity certainly favors the mobile app in the short term. But lost in all of this debate is the least common denominator - sms (or texting as it is know in the mainstream). (more)
