Dear @twitter: Twitter HoverCard Bug. (Lucky @you!)

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!

Easy Reader! Google Announces Google Reader Play

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.

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!

Hootsuite Add Foursquare and MySpace Integration

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.
