Evan Williams of Twitter is on stage as we speak announcing Twitter’s newest feature – the “@Anywhere” feature. The feature, as we understand from his explanation on stage, will allow publications and websites to more seamlessly integrate twitter actions into their site.
The Twitter HoverCard, as mentioned in my last post, is awesome. The only problem? Here it is:
You know the “Retweeted by you and 23654 other people” you see when the new RT feature was used? When you hover over the “you” in that sentence, you get who’s profile? @you’s!
A little while ago, Twitter announced that they will be releasing Twitter HoverCards. Yesterday, it went live! For those of you who are curious, here’s an example of a hovercard from hovering over @natasha’s twitter handle:
I swear this must be the Year of the Awkward Non-Asked-For-Alternative-User-Interface! Google just came out with Google Reader Play – an alternative view for Google reader that allows you to flip through all of the top news you might be interested in. As you star articles, it will get smarter and suggest more articles you might like! Wait a minute… I said “flip” – there already IS something like this! It’s called Google FastFlip! Oy vey! Anyway, any new feature is exciting and shiny and new.
Last week, I released a full list of Foursquare badges – something that was difficult to find before. But now, it seems, that list isn’t complete enough!
Earlier tonight, Google announced their opening up of the Google Apps Marketplace to the public. This way, developers can create integrations for Google Apps as well as new applications for businesses to use. The concept behind the marketplace is, of course, that the developers can then sell the services to companies at a fair price. And they definitely are! Many of the services are not cheap by any means.
Twitter has been making changes to keep up with the very lingo that has been created around the microblogging service. The word “tweet” was already introduced into the user interface by the tweet-count changing from Updates to Tweets.
In their announcement of their SXSW plans, Hootsuite announced their integration of location-based juggernaut Foursquare, as well as faux-social-network-turned-music-self-promotion-clusterf*** Myspace!
This, no doubt, is not a coincidental timing considering the huge amount of checkins expected at SXSW this year. The location-based service also gives special badges for specific events.
You know, I hear so many people trying to figure out how to get certain badges on Foursquare, and looking for a list of all of the badges on Foursquare. So after much much research, I actually found an awesome list with a pretty up-to-date full list of Foursquare badges! Check it out below!
JERUSALEM, March 3 (Reuters) – The Israeli militarycalled off a raid in Palestinian territory after a soldier posted details, including the time and place, on social networking website Facebook, Israel’s Army Radio reported on Wednesday.
