• Twilf: Tweep I'd Like to Follow
16 Nov 2009 at 12:00pm
Mashable reports that the word "Twilf" has entered Twitter Vernacular thanks to an episode of Current's Super News. In the cartoon Sarah Palin is referred to as a Twilf. The word has a more wholesome meaning then you might think. The Urban Dictionary says Twilf is a "Tweep I'd like to follow." The problem with Sarah Palin being a Twilf is she hasn't been twittering lately. Here is the crazy Current cartoon where the word twilf comes up.

• Facebook Status Update About Pancakes Clears Suspect
12 Nov 2009 at 6:00pm
A 19-year-old New York City robbery suspect was exonerated thanks to his Facebook page. The Facebook page contained a status update that was posted 1 minute before the robbery occurred. The man asked his girlfriend about the location of his pancakes in the update. Facebook status can be updated from anywhere (and by anyone with access to the account) but police say the update was made by the suspect at a computer at his father's apartment. The AP says the case is thought to the first where defense lawyers have used Facebook to establish a person's innocence.

• Britney Spears Twitter Account Hacked Again
12 Nov 2009 at 11:00am
Britney Spears' Twitter account, @britneyspears, was hacked for at least the third time today. A downside to having a high profile Twitter acount is that hack attempts are more likely. Britney's account is the 2nd most followed and the 8th most listed. Unlike in the past when hackers have taken over groups of high profile accounts Britney's Twitter appears to have been the sole target. The hackers tried to make it seem as if Britney is a Satan worshipper.
Britney's web team - which has its own list now on Twitter - tweeted the following apology.

• Jim Carrey's Twitter Bird
7 Nov 2009 at 12:00pm
 Jim Carrey's bizarre new website should win the award for best version of a Twitter bird. The website has a bird with Jim Carrey's head on it that shares his latest tweets. If you click on the bird it goes to Jim Carrey's Twitter account, @jimcarrey. Well played Jim Carrey.

• On Twitter Lists and Twitter Influence
5 Nov 2009 at 7:40am
We have compiled a list here of the 200+ most listed Twitter accounts. Listorious has launched a list here of the most followed lists on Twitter. Twitterholic has a list here of the most followed Twitter accounts. All three of these help measure how much influence a Twitter account has but none of them alone provide an accurate measure of a Twitterer's reach or influence.
Trying to measure how much reach or influence a given Twitter account has is an increasingly complex issue. You would need to factor in followers as well as the number of lists someone is on. In addition, specific lists will also be important because Listorious's list of the most followed lists shows that being on some lists gives Twitter users more influence than others. Twitter's list widgets allow lists to be embedded on webpages. Twitterers listed on lists that get embedded could get more exposure. There is also the issue of private lists which may not be added to a Twitterer's list total.
The list of the most listed Twitterers has Barack Obama way out in front which seems appropriate since he is the President. The list is heavily dominated by celebrities. There are few news or t... ( cont'd )
• Celebrity Twitter Accounts Among Most Listed Twitter 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

Oprah: 5,715
Twitter: 5,650

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.
