Apple and their iPhone App Store have been in the news quite a bit lately - and not in a good way. A series of high-profile application rejections and generally poor decision-making regarding their application approval process have led many iPhone advocates to question the cult of Apple - and their vague, preposterous stand (Read More)
: This will all work itself out. Apple and the iPhone App Stores are still a bit draconian in their methods. They've always been that way though. Overall, I think the upcoming competition from Blackberry and Nokia can only be good for us consumers as prices come down and more bells and whistles are added and the apps become simpler and more user friendly. Ding - round 2

Hot on the heels of last week's TwitterCut worm, there's an even nastier worm to hit Twitter - the Juste Ru worm (do yourself a favor and DON'T visit that site) - and this Twitter worm isn't just a Twitter worm - it's a Facebook worm as well.The tag-team Juste "Best Videos" worm has been ripping through Twitter and Facebook (Read More)

Can we just head this trend off at the pass? It seems that Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg, at their “All Things D” conference announced the beginning of the Web 3.0 era. That’s ridiculous.And I’m not the only one to think so. Short aside: It’s interesting that neither Kara nor Walt show up very often on friendfeed, which is (Read More)

: There are a number of solid and practical ways to make use of alternate energy. We must make use of this emerging technology in each of our lives. Great post. Thanks!
: We are at a time when we are desperately seeking alternative sources of energy. Sources of energy that do not degrade the environment, is readily available, and sustainable. We have a lot of alternative sources of energy, but somehow we haven't maximized their potentials. Governments of each country should act on this. Our present environmental situation does not look good at all. Shall we wait before it's too late?

Be on the lookout, people - there's a new Twitter worm called Twittercut tearing its way through the microblogging platform at an alarming rate. If you've seen some of the people you follow tweeting "OMG I just got over 1000 followers today from http://twittercut.com", they've got the Twittercut worm. (Read More)
: Hi 5 folks - I don't understand this how can you get a 1000 followers a day - I thought 50 was the max Twitter allowed - any ways your right to Get the word out! All you're going to gain from Twittercut is a headache and the scorn of your peers!
: I'm not even sure what I would do if I got 1,000 followers in a day. It'd be difficult to try to get to know all of them at once. Slow, steady growth seems the best way to go.
: Yes, Twitter has totally taken off. I really like the social aspect of it, and am working on my following as well. But, really 1,000 followers a day in this manner probably wouldn't do you a whole lot of good from a business stand point. Sure, every body likes a good following but it's targeted followers that are important. Not only that, many of these followers per day would probably be from just "spam" Twitter accounts. Great post..

Everybody's got a different answer to the question "Which social network is growing fastest?" The one answer you don't hear floated around much is "SMSGupshup" - the Indian SMS-based social network whose creator, Beerud Sheth, was interviewed last month by Michael Arrington of Techcrunch. The interview, which some TechCrunc (Read More)
: Hi five folks - well this is definitely a reminder just how powerful social networking has become - so folks its time some-one got a language barrier posting software together? - just think who you could be communicating with in the next generation of networks...

Big changes are in the works for Twitter and their realtime search features, says new Twitter VP of Operations Santosh Jayaram, changes that may spell the end of the status quo both for the microblogging platform in particular and the entire concept of organic searching in general.Jayaram, who previously worked on Google's (Read More)
: This new plan of Twitter could change search in many ways. Of course, the average person looking for information is still going to want more than a 140 character mini-reply. But still, the enormous popularity of Twitter is certainly going to be astounding. I've been resisting Twitter but this is all the more reason to learn how to use it - NOW!
: Some of the changes planned by Twitter look useful like indexing content in the tweets, it may pay to use a link shortener like a.gd as this allows you to edit link URLs with words.
: Twitter is still new for many. I can't believe their going to change it again. I imagine google will asimilate any changes to it just like the Borg. Go twitter!

Anyone out there who's trying to get retweeted knows that it's harder than you think - sometimes the tweets you most expect will get retweeted don't, and you're left asking yourself, "What's so great about that guy's tweets that they get retweeted all the time, but mine never do?"There are three factors that I think determi (Read More)
: I am just starting on Twitter - and mostly because it's apparent that I'm the only person in the world who isn't Tweeting! :-) I haven't run into the why-am-I-not-being-retweeted question yet, but I'm sure that I will so thanks for your timely and helpful article. I will refer to it when the time comes.
: These are great tips. I also think it is good to have followers that are interested in your subject. Again, small is better if it is focused and targeted.
: Hilarious. Talking about standing next to the guy w/ BO had me ROFL. I guess the good thing about Twitter is you don't stand the chance of getting slugged by that guy.
