 Bloggers Blog: Blogging the Blogsphere
• Celebrity Twitter Accounts Among Most Listed Twitter Accounts
2 Nov 2009 at 10:05am
There are some blog posts discussing the most listed Twitter accounts here and here that claim Mashable is the second most listed Twitter account. It hasn't been #2 for several days. Here is the correct ranking of the top most listed accounts.
Barack Obama: 11,007
Taylor Swift: 9,507
CNN Breaking: 8,777
The Ellen Show: 8,057
Shit My Dad Says: 7,954
Lady Gaga: 7,695
Mashable: 7,665
Demi Lovato: 7,477
Ashton Kutcher: 7,176
John Mayer: 7,150
Britney Spears: 7,068
Katy Perry: 6,835
Selena Gomez: 6,573
Google: 6,124
Stephen Fry, 6,118
Oprah: 5,715
Twitter: 5,650
The New York Times: 5,210
The Onion: 5,160
Perez Hilton: 5,049
Shaq: 5,000
Update 11-2-09: You can find a longer list of the Most Listed Twitter Accounts here.
It's good to see Mashable up near the top of the most listed Twitter accounts, but Mashable has been falling. The list of the most listed has been trending more celebrity since lists were turned on for all Twitterers a couple days ago. A week ago Mashable was ranked first and a couple days ago it was ranked fourth. Now it is ranked seventh. The trend that seems to be shaping up here is that celebrities will have to most listed Twitter accou... ( cont'd )
• Barack Obama, Taylor Swift Are Most Listed Twitterers
29 Oct 2009 at 11:20am
President Barack Obama and Taylor Swift appear to be the most listed people or organizations on Twitter as of this writing. This could easily change as there are still many people who do not yet have Twitter lists enabled. Here is a short list of the most listed Twitterers as of right now, noonish on Thursday, October 29th.
@BarackObama: 3,571
@taylorswift13: 3,178
@cnnbrk: 2,922
@mashable: 2,654
@TheEllenShow: 2,649
@johncmayer: 2,486
@ladygaga: 2,470
@aplusk: 2,441
@ddlovato: 2,246
katyperry: 2,196
@google: 2,143
@stephenfry: 2,128
@twitter: 2,039
@selenagomez: 1,987
@TheOnion: 1,866
@oprah: 1,860
I created this short list manually and it will no doubt be automated by someone using Twitter's API in the days ahead. It's probably not a surprise to see celebrities and news organization leading the pack. Early on the most listed list had more tech people as you can see here but that has changed somewhat. Those who first had Twitter lists was probably dominated by peeps in the tech industry. Who is on the most lists won't really tell the whole story because determining reach on Twitter has become much more complex. There is the issue that people can fol... ( cont'd )
• The Onion Covers Parents Facebook Stalking Their College-Aged Kids
24 Oct 2009 at 1:00pm
The Onion has a pretty hilarious video about how parents can use Facebook and Twitter to keep tabs on their children. The helicopter parent in this video is quite obsessed with monitoring her son's Facebook and Twitter activity. Like any good Onion story there is some truth to it.

• Oh Lord. It's the 5 Billionth Tweet
19 Oct 2009 at 9:24pm
This tweet by Robin Sloan is apparently the 5 billionth tweet on Twitter. The number at the end of the tweet's URL is 5000000000, which likely means it is tweet number 5 billion if Twitter hasn't been skipping around.
The Social blogs that Robin Sloan has nicknamed the tweet, "The Pentagigatweet."
Corrected to show billionth not millionth! Thanks Glen Green

• Twitter Lists Make Twitter More Useful
17 Oct 2009 at 10:30am
Twitter Lists are great new way to organize information and follow tweets on Twitter. The feature makes Twitter a lot more useful. It works best for categories. For example, you can create a list of your favorite news
sources or a list for a specific subject, such as blogging, social media, food,
music or tech. Information junkies are going to love this feature. You can also go local and follow your favorite restaurants, hangouts and local news sources.
You can only create 20 lists but that doesn't really matter because you can go and follow cool lists that other people have made. One of the best features of Twitter Lists is that you can add people to your lists that you are not following. You can add someone to one of your lists by using a tab that appears next to their profile. When you hover over the tab your Twitter Lists appear and you can check the box(es) next to the List you want to add them to.
The lists themselves are very useful. They contain all the tweets from the twitterers you have added to the list. The lists appear on the right side of your page underneath the search box. When you click on one of the lists the tweets from the members... ( cont'd )
• Big Mouth Billy Bass Connected To Twitter
14 Oct 2009 at 12:50pm
Neatorama reports that Dan Ros hacked his Big Mouth Billy Bass so that it quotes Homer Simpson, Bill Clinton, George Bush and characters from Monty Python's The Holy Grail. The hacked Big Mouth Billy Bass will also speak whatever is tweeted at him. The Bass's brain was swapped with an mbed Microcontroller. Take a look:
What a great idea. It's important that we get as many Big Mouth Billy Bass units connected to Twitter as possible.

• YouTube Now Serving One Billion Video Views Daily
10 Oct 2009 at 1:00pm
 YouTube announced this week that they are now serving one billion video views each day. They mention basic principles they implemented that have since become fundamental tenets in the world of online video.
Speed matters: Videos should load and play back quickly.
Clip culture is here to stay: Short clips are voraciously consumed and perfect for watching a wide variety of content.
Open platforms open up possibility: Content creation isn't our business; it's yours. We wanted to create a place where anyone with a video camera, a computer, and an Internet connection could share their life, art, and voice with the world, and in many cases make a living from doing so.
They missed one: embedding. Embedding has been extremely important in helping YouTube grow quickly and the embed code has been adapted by many other video websites as a tool to get content widely distributed.

• Robo.to Offers Micro Video Blogging
6 Oct 2009 at 8:00pm
We have microblogging, so why not microvideoblogging. That's the idea behind Robo.to, a website that lets you publish micro videos - or visual status updates - that are no longer than 4 seconds in length. The videos can be distributed on Twitter, Facebook and other social media websites.
Bits reports that the idea is also meant to serve as a digital calling card for users.
The idea behind the platform is simple: In addition to the microvideos, which can be uploaded from a webcam or a mobile phone camera and pushed out via Facebook and Twitter with a few short lines of text, Robo.to is meant to be a digital calling card online or a hub that houses information about an individual's identity on the Web. That's what helps separate the service from other microvideo services like 12seconds.
Bits says Robo.to already has 100,000 plus users, thanks in part to Justin Timberlake regularly posting the tiny videos on his Twitter account, @jtimberlake.

• Dood Will Scream Your Tweets From Rocky Cliff
3 Oct 2009 at 4:00pm
A dood named Sam Wilson at illScreamYourTweets.com will scream your tweets for you. He won't just retweet them using all caps but he will literally yell your tweets from a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. You can send him your tweets at @ScreamUrTweets. Once a week he climbs up a mountain to scream some of the tweets he is sent as loud as he can. Take a look:

• Twitter to Launch Twitter Lists
1 Oct 2009 at 7:35am
Twitter blogged yesterday that it will soon add a feature called Lists.
The lists could be a game changer and help end the comfy ride those on Twitter's Suggested Users List (SUL) have enjoyed for far too long. There will probably be attempts to game it and lots of "please add me to your list" tweets. There is some risk with this feature because if people can follow everyone on a list all at once then they are more likely to follow a list that includes a malware spammer. Twitter could also create a public database showing Twitter accounts that are included in the most lists. Twitter's API will probably allow developers to do something like this.
The following aspect is interesting but the real value in the lists is not so much in following but in allowing Twitter users to segment their Twitter followers, and allow them to track tweets by self-chosen categories such as news, business, family, friends, etc. The lists are public by default but there will likely be lots of private lists. Hopefully, Twitter never has an error that lets people see someone's private "Frenemies" list.
The lists should increase following on Twitter, which is one of the reaso... ( cont'd )
