Duplicating Twitter Accounts To Drive Page Views?
December 24, 2009I noticed a bunch of funky Retweets yesterday in my Twitter account.
However, they weren’t true Retweets because each were constructed with RT @ -timcohn which effectively deletes an original Retweeter from appearing in the Retweet stream.
Duplicate Twitter Accounts
Each account had a woman’s name along with an attractive picture.
Each account also had the exact same number of Tweets (1952).
Although I have an idea why Retweeters may be stripped from a Retweet Stream, I have no idea why someone would take the time to duplicate a bunch of Twitter accounts and then send traffic to a wide variety of non related non montizeable sites.
Any ideas?
Google Real Time Search Results Exclude Google Brand?
December 7, 2009With much fanfare, Google has launched its version of real time search incorporating Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Blog updates into their search results.
The following video shows how Google answers the “What’s happening right now?” and the “What’s happening nearby?” questions (please forgive the Slumber Inc. soundtrack).
Entering keywords into Google and selecting Anytime produces an amalgamation of relevant news and web results while selecting Latest often produces a condensed version of the Tweet Stream.
Google Real Time Search Anytime
Such doesn’t appear to be the case for one particular brand – Google.
Google Real Time Search Latest
Selecting “Latest” in Google’s real time search for “Google” produces not a list of Tweets containing Google but instead a ho hum list of relatively tame looking mostly Google owned sites.
Google Real Time Search Latest
Purely a coincidence?
Must be a fluke here on my computer.
Surely its one or the other.
Why otherwise would real time searches for Yahoo produce Tweets containing Yahoo but not those searches containing Google?
Yahoo Real Time Search Google Results
Does the same thing happen to you when you search for Google in their real time results?
If so, the lack of Tweets about Google in Google’s real time search results must be the result of a bug.
Find Chief Executive Officers Via CEO Dashboard And Twitter
October 29, 2009John Sviokla has assembled an interesting list of Chief Executive Officers and their Twitter accounts on his blog under the CEO Twitter Dashboard.
The CEO Dashboard has CEOs categorized by their respective industries.
Twitter users can find CEOs from each of following industries on CEODashboard:
Advertising & PR, Construction, eCommerce, Education, Energy & Utilities, Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, High Tech, HR Services, Industry Association, Legal, Market Research, Media, Non-Profit, Professional Services, Restaurant & Hospitality, Retail, Software, Sports & Entertainment and Travel & Transportation.
CEOs from the Advertising & PR, eCommerce, Market Research and Media fields can be found below.
Clicking on their names opens each CEO’s Twitter profile.
Web visitors can subscribe to changes via RSS from the CEO Dashboard and can follow CEODashboard on Twitter to get notified of new CEOs as they are added.
The CEO Dashboard provides an interesting version of how Twitter accounts may ultimately be organized and searched – by Twitter account users industry category.

Twitter Search Fail in Firefox For Mac
October 25, 2009I don’t know why, but I seem to have more problems than not trying to use Twitter search in Firefox for Macs.
Twitter Search Fail
I can search in Safari for Mac and get results.
The only difference as far as I can tell is that when I enter a search term in Firefox, the query doesn’t appear to embed itself in the Twitter Search box.
I refreshed my Firefox browser and still no luck.
Twitter Page Doesn't Exist
The Twitter search process as it stands now at least in Firefox for Macs produces a 404 error stating – “The page you were looking for doesn’t exist.
WordPress: When Will My WordPress Blogs Have Tweetmeme Built In?
October 24, 2009Recently WordPress added a “Publicize” button to their blogs so publishers could Tweet their posts directly to their Twitter accounts.
Isn’t it now time for WordPress to add a “Socialize” button to their bloggers dashboards?
Self hosted WordPress publishers can add plugins like those from Tweetmeme to let their visitors Tweet blog links to the Twitter audience.
Tweetmeme WordPress Plugin
However, WordPress hosted blogs lack any type of plugin tools for bloggers who want to enable their visitors to share their discoveries via Tweets beyond the WordPress walls.
Adding a Tweetmeme feature to WordPress bloggers dashboards and in turn their blogs would surely have a network doubling effect on the WordPress.com audience.

#w2s 2009: Top 50 Web 2.0 Summit Tweets
October 23, 2009The fifth year of the Web 2.0 Summit was held in San Francisco over the last several days.
This year the Web 2.0 conference theme was Web Squared.
About the 2009 Web 2.0 Summit:
We believe that nothing is going to get better if the world collectively hides under its desk. It’s time for the Web to step up and step into its role as a platform for positive change—be it in our economy, our culture, or our society.
Last year we focused on where the Web met the world. This year, the Web is the world. And we’ve got a lot of work to do.
Entire industries are in the process of painful rebirth—finance and energy, to be sure, but also information technology, media and communications, healthcare, retail—nearly every major sector, in every major region of the world. And while these changes have been ongoing for more than a decade, the global financial crisis has accelerated and clarified this shift. It’s the end of one era, and the beginning of another.
At the center of both the destruction and creation is the World Wide Web. For this year, we are focusing on demonstrating proofs: showing how the founding principles of Web 2.0 have been put into practice to address the world’s most pressing problems.
Although I wasn’t able to attend in person this year, I have captured all of the Tweets that came out of the conference and posted the Top 50 Twitter Tweets (in no particular order) I found most insightful below.

WordPress Listens to Their Customer Audience
October 22, 2009Several months ago WordPress announced the introduction of their own url shortening service under the WP.me branded domain.
At the time, I congratulated the WordPress staff on their blog while also asking when or if I could ever Tweet WordPress blog posts directly to my Twitter account.
The Official WordPress blog approves or disapproves comments and my suggestion went – for what seemed like an eternity – without being published.
Then within the last week or two, WordPress announced their new Publicize feature which Tweets WordPress blog posts directly to Twitter accounts.
I thought – unbelievable, Are you kidding me WordPress?!
As a consultant I am used to sharing strategies and techniques for growing businesses with my clients, but I provide them because my clients reciprocate by paying my fees.
Sharing ideas freely on the web is a requisite for participating in web culture yet not giving credit where credit is due is what keeps additional ideas from flowing and then multiplying.
This morning I woke up thinking about the above process and how I was going to write about how my suggestion had been perpetually embargoed in an approval que at WordPress while they went ahead and launched their Publicize to Twitter service.
To my surprise, my comment and suggestion were actually published several weeks ago while also being acknowledged by Automattic’s User Engagement head @Wordpress – Heather.
Wordpress Listens to Their Customer Audience
Congratulations WordPress… you not only listen to your customer audience, you also act on that which you have heard.
