Twitter Turns Three and Dozens of Other Twitter News
Twitter turned 3 years old the other day and for most people that number probably seems strange because for most people Twitter is rather new. I admit I didn’t know about Twitter 3 years ago but I guess I was into social networking when hotmail was new and am only getting back into it now because of necessity. Not to be anti-social but I really don’t like it for the most part. I do enjoy meeting new people from all over the country but being poked 12 times a day is rather tough to deal with when you work a lot.
So what else is new with Twitter?
Twitter is being taught in UK schools. Can you believe it? I can and I wish it were being taught in our country as well. Not just Twitter but more advanced computer knowledge such as web programming and design and things like that. Why? Because computers aren’t going away and a typing class just isn’t cutting it anymore. Typing is like breathing and Tweeting is like speaking. If you are human you have to learn this stuff, even if it’s just baby steps.
Twitter broke recently. You might not have noticed since apparently it happened at night. I must say for a service that sees exponential growth to only see it go down occasionally isn’t bad. Whoever is behind the scenes does a good job.
Twitter in the news! That is Twitter might start serving up local news. I think that’s a good idea. I can see it being popular and convenient.
Twitter in the news again! Ok this time it really was in the news. In fact it’s been all over the news. If you have been watching you might have noticed that quite a few news programs etc are starting to Tweet and gaining followers. I guess its going mainstream. What it is doing is driving incredible traffic to Twitter.
New Firefox app for Twitter released. This new extension looks rather useful if you are a FF user. It definitely adds quite a bit of functionality.
Twitter starts serving up ads. This was probably inevitable. No one is going to keep pumping money into this no matter how popular it is unless it can make some money.
Twitter serving text ads. This goes with the one above. I guess it’s just a different approach or a solution to the same problem.
Twitter is growing and growing on businesses. How much is a lot of traffic from Twitter worth to you? This is an interesting question but certainly a big reason why so many people are using Twitter and trying to get a massive cult following.
How much is Twitter worth to you for increased revenue? Well here we have an answer and apparently its $250,000! That number seems large but if you read the story you can see that it is quite lucrative to have a big following or at least some are willing to gamble that it will be in the future. 250,000 clams to be a suggested Tweeter to follow might seem hard to swallow but it’s true.
Twitter in the future? As this article points out what better way to find out what Twitter’s future plans are other than looking at who they are hiring! Ahh tricky!
I don’t know if that was a dozen but it was pretty close. I think I could have found a few dozen more. Those stories were just from this month!
