Tweespeed: Tweets Per Minute
June 28, 2009Twitter Trending Topics Gone
June 25, 2009It appears Twitter has removed the Trending Topics list of the top subjects being tweeted.
Twitter Trending Topics Gone
I wonder if Trending Topics had become a Twitter spam magnet?
Social Media Spam: The New Bulk Email
June 19, 2009The reason social media hasn’t become a bona fide sales channel is because the majority (if not all) of a social media’s audience at any one point in time – whether its Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter- are not buyers.
This hasn’t slowed the onslaught of social media spammers nor has it slowed them in their efforts to peddle wares to anyone who might be listening.

Government Innovation: CA Waste Watchers
June 16, 2009California’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger administration has launched what appears to be an innovative interactive communications forum called Waste Watchers.
WasteWatchers.CA.Gov asks the citizens of California to “Report Problems / Share Solutions”.
From Governor Schwarzenegger:
I will not stand for waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars. I urge you to report wasteful practices in state government here. Also, if you have a suggestion for making government work better, please use this page to let us know.
– Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
WasteWatchers.CA.Gov
According to Governor Schwarzenegger Twitter account, the California Waste Watchers site has already received nearly 1,000 reports since inception.

With a budget shortfall bigger than many states entire budgets, California by definition has the greatest need of any US State for innovative communication methods to speed both identifying and reducing government waste.
The WasteWatchers.CA.Gov site is surely a step in the right direction.
Who Owns Your Tweets? You or Twitter?
May 28, 2009There have been several posts in the last day or two about who owns a Twitter account – the employee or the employer.
I believe the Seo Writer blog answered the question the best in the following Q&A format:
Q: Who owns the Twitter account?
A: Twitter.
At which point I have commented: Yeah – and because Twitter owns all Twitter accounts don’t they also “own” all the content you have posted on it?
While Seo Writer’s answer appears to be the correct one, I think it also begs the question “Who Owns Your Tweets? You or Twitter?
Maybe someone over at Twitter could help answer this question if they haven’t already.
Twitter Search Errors… Again
May 25, 2009Twitter search appears to be taking a vacation this Memorial Day 2009:

This isn’t the first time I have had difficulty accessing Twitter search.
Google Alerts Now Tracking Twitter Posts?
May 22, 2009Google Web Alerts appears to now be reporting Twitter posts via its Google Alerts product.
Twitter Google Web Alert
I received the Google Alert above today for data gathered yesterday May 21, 2009.
This is the first Google Alert I have seen which included Twitter posts within Google Web Alerts.
What implications will this have on Search Engine Results Pages for search engine marketers and search engine optimizers – if any?
As Twitter Grows; A Lot More Noise Less Signal
April 19, 2009As the Twitter audience grows, the ability to reach it or be reached by the segment of the Twitter audience interested in the same topics will become more valuable both to Twitter, its audience and its potential advertisers.
For the last sixty days I have been monitoring Tweets within a 100 mile radius of my city to get a better sense of what the average Twitter user Tweets about.
I haven’t spent any of my online time on social networks because the same amount of time invested in programming a Google Adwords campaign can reach an exclusive and active audience who by definition are already interested in my products and services vis-a-vis their search query.
The same can’t be said for social media and networks like Twitter or Facebook.
Twitter users can search for keywords they are interested to identify potential audience segments to reach but this process still doesn’t separate the good Tweets from the bad, the wheat from the chaff, the Twitter signal from the Twitter noise.
A sample Tweet stream from within 100 miles of my city over the last few minutes:
A Lot of Noise, Not Much Signal
Extrapolate the same type of Tweets over millions of Twitter users and you can see how identifying the Twitter signal from the Twitter noise will only grow more challenging.
Twitter Real Time Warp Search?
April 14, 2009Although real time search is one of the many heralded utilities of Twitter, it seems the average consumer’s attention isn’t quite as focused in the present as Twitter’s search results are – at least at this particular moment in time.
According to Twitter’s trending topics: Easter is the most popular topic of conversation in the Twitterverse – this Tuesday two days after Easter Sunday.
Real Time Warp Search
If this trending topic result doesn’t illustrate the value of reaching Twitter’s audience, I don’t know what will.
