: @shaynorulz @HappaHaoli @brilliantjeni Delete only helps a little. Even when you delete a tweet, it still can be searched from search.twitter.com. Also, there is no way to recall the tweet that has been delivered to all those 3rd party apps that your followers might be using.
: @Nishith - yeah too bad search.twitter.com is CURRENTLY DISABLED, don't integrate your twits into the various social aggregations. creating social silo's comprised of different audiences manages the impact of unrelated/unnecessary twits/material to a minimum - seems the olds like to turn technical glitches into an ethics debate

There has been a lot of talk over the last couple of weeks about two Twitter ranking tools, Twitter Grader and Twinfluence. Any tool that measures the effectiveness of a Social Media site for a user is important to serious and casual users alike. The fact that there are now two tools presenting a userโs โrankingโ in differe (Read More)
: "So, why would you care about improving your score? You probably shouldnโt apart from the fun factor. But by following the steps above, what you will find yourself with, in a very short space of time, is an amazing network that you can reach out to. People that you can help and that can help you. People that will provide you with a wealth of information and to whom you can pass along great information."
: @Hutch, I agree. The whole point about Twitter is to make connections within the community that you can share things that interest you and your network. In fact, I recently wrote a post about this very subject, "Stop Keeping Score", http://twurl.nl/yi2wq2
: Twitter Grader works really well Twinfluence gives this back Error in _core.php: database 'innovati_twinfluence' could not be selected. MySQL server has gone away
: Just wondering how you can keep updating all those tools and follow each of your community (if they are not the same people with the same updates...)

Think you know what youโre doing every time you engage in social media? Neither do I, and neither do the social media gurus I spoke to about their biggest social networking blunders. In an effort to learn from othersโ mistakes, hereโs a list of some all-star errors in judgment from some social media all stars. Iโll lead off (Read More)
: @sarahcrisman I appreciate your honesty too. When I wrote my comment I had no idea that this article would get so popular. I think it would be funny to have a post, where everybody can reveal the most embarrassing thing they did online. What do you think!

Twitter references seem to be popping up everywhere. From news shows to sitcoms such as The Big Bang Theory, there’s no denying that the service is finally going mainstream.ย And now even celebrities are joining in. Some seem like your typical Twitter users, posting about whatever crosses their minds, while others use (Read More)
: Yesterday @therealbritney had 550 follows. @ socialmedian 24 Hrs later she has 3,618. If Tom Cruise or Will Smith twittered, How many would they have? She's definitely a trendsetter. But whoever thought it would be Britney Spears to bring twitter mainstream?
: With so many celebs starting to use Twitter now, does this mean that Twitter has officially gone mainstream, meaning it has moved beyond the early adopters?
: @jonasdelosreyes I would argue that Twitter is in the early mainstream. It's not quite mainstream yet but it is building steam and the "celebrity" endorsements are helping.

: Thanks for the post. I just had to block a creeperton within my Facebook community for being a nasty dude. It's always good to remind ourselves that transparency in social networking doesn't mean over-revealing!

: Silverlight has to be installed to use this plugin, and a lot of people don't want to download the program. Also, isn't this overkill when we already have a number of aggregators out there?
: @searchguru I don't know any aggregators that are quite like this. I've only had a chance to use it several times over the last couple days, and it continues to surprise me As they sign up more partners, it will only get better. @Semantiman what are your plans for adding more networks? Also, how many people are participating in the beta right now? Anything in the works for Chrome Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing where you go from here!

You can interact with Oahu by touching the screen, instead of using a mouse, and more than one person can interact with Oahu at the same time. You and others can move objects on the screen with your hands and touch icons to open up programs, games, or music. (Read More)
