			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>By now everyone in the twitter ecosystem has heard about @Chirp , the first developer conference of it&#8217;s kind in Twitter&#8217;s history.  If you&#8217;re looking to catch up with what&#8217;s going on  you can watch the conference on <a href="http://www.justin.tv/twitterchirp/b/262219429">Justin Tv here.</a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a screen of the <a id="aptureLink_d5sYjGQWhL" href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=chirp">backchannel</a>; <strong><em> is that the first reference to promoted tweets anyone has seen?</em></strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2819" title="chirp-backchannel" src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/chirp-backchannel.jpg" alt="chirp-backchannel" width="539" height="408" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all heard of the speakers in some form or the other, but let&#8217;s quickly focus on @JohnBattelle and @RSarver ; only because the information and how they related to the ecosystem interested me the most.</p>
<p>Battelle says the first tweet ever was by @Jack - &#8220;I&#8217;m setting up Twitter&#8221;, and has been consulting twitter on an ongoing basis; he keeps asking the company a very important question: <strong> &#8220;What&#8217;s your business model?&#8221; </strong>With and ad platform coming we see glimmers of hope for the young company, but only if they get it right this time.  <strong><em> Facebook has.</em></strong></p>
<p>Of course the <a id="aptureLink_xx22csXOf3" href="http://trueslant.com/kylebrady/2010/04/14/the-failure-of-twitter/">skeptics</a> have their own voice, and others like @Loic have already taken measures to ensure their growth and survival.  @scobleizer talks about this directly over on his blog.</p>
<blockquote><p>If you talk with Loic Le Meur, CEO of Seesmic, he tells a story of feeling squeezed, just like a batch of carbon. Squeezed by the press, like Techcrunch, who said that Le Meur is in denial of the storm brewing over the Twitter ecosystem after Twitter announced it will compete with the client partners it so famously enabled..</p></blockquote>
<p>Update:  Interestingly in a newer post  <a id="aptureLink_xbM0NVM9rj" href="http://scobleizer.com/2010/04/15/twitter-annotations/#">&#8220;Developers: how will we all get along with Twitter’s annotation feature?&#8221;</a> he goes on to tell us what he&#8217;s learned.</p>
<p>The most important speaker to listen to for developers was Ryan Sarver, he certainly gave us alot to think about as he confidently spoke on the future of the Twitter API.</p>

<p><strong>Key Notes on Ryan Sarver&#8217;s presentation:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>100,000 applications now registered with Twitter.</li>
<li>Meta Data and Annotations:  Which by far is the most interesting aspect of Ryan&#8217;s presentation.  What&#8217;s exciting is you can annotate and add any arbitrary meta-data to every tweet that comes into the system; this new feature has it&#8217;s downside, <a id="aptureLink_2irxrr5mZo" href="http://scobleizer.com/2010/04/15/twitter-annotations/#">read what the fuss is all about.</a></li>
<li>The success of Co-Tweet and how the saw a need, focused on the audience and fundamentally changed the way businesses interect with their customers.</li>
<li>Enabling innovation to developers, reducing friction and increasing certainly and reliability for developers on the API level.   Developer Happiness.</li>
<li>Deriving more context and relevancy in tweets.</li>
<li>User Streams:   Power of real-time streams relevant to users.  No more rate limits, polling, managing data.  Includes social graph, direct messages and ReTweets and favorites.  Adding linkage and threads between one tweet to the other.  Like Twit Toaster did when visualizing threaded discussions &amp; of course location.</li>
<li>Firehose:  Letting everyone from small to large sized funded companies benefit from the stream.</li>
<li>Developer Happiness.</li>
<li>Managing larger work-flows in bigger teams of individual companies.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The birth of dev.twitter.com and Anywhere</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s Alive!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2814" title="twitter-dev" src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/twitter-dev.jpg" alt="twitter-dev" width="580" height="384" /></p>
<p>Live code and examples are already running from the API within the well constructed documents.  If you&#8217;re running the Thesis Theme you can already find a way of <a id="aptureLink_0173BxdYz7" href="http://mattflies.com/tech/how-to-install-twitters-anywhere-on-thesis/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+MattFliesFeed+(MattFlies.com+--+Sarcasm,+Tech,+News,+and+More)&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader">integrating anywhere.</a></p>
<p><strong>What else is happening surrounding the ecosystem?</strong></p>
<p>Loads of bloggers and companies are talking about the developer conference and making their contributions.   Let&#8217;s take a quick look to see what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<ol>
<li><a id="aptureLink_bGq0Ua19Lt" href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twitters_entire_archive_headed_to_the_library_of_c.php?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+readwriteweb+(ReadWriteWeb)&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader">Twitter&#8217;s Entire Archive Headed to the Library of Congress</a></li>
<li>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 1617px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Twitter Adds New Terms of Service to Its Developer Platform</div>

</ol>
<p>The question(s) still looms resounding in like minds across the world wide web.  Will Twitter be able to lock their developers and business model down, or will this sudden change in the ecosystem affect this innovative company?</p>
<p>Personally I think by remaining agile and trying to understanding the road map (which is still unclear) will enable companies steer themselves in the right direction<strong><em>.</em></strong></p>
<p>What&#8217;s more important is for entrepreneurs to define their leadership and start thinking of sustainable business models for the future.  <a id="aptureLink_3S1Q1xle4T" href="http://twitter.com/gotwalt">Aaron Gotwalt</a> admits that he&#8217;s not a business analysts, and so he pulled together a team of advisors and investors to get positive feedback and funding.</p>
<p>He says:</p>
<blockquote><p>With this collective brainpower and to be able to pilot a company <em>to make money is a really tricky thing.</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Ask yourself this question, &#8220;Do my followers / friends add value to my network on a day to day basis?&#8221;  <strong><em>Hmmmmmmm.</em></strong> I&#8217;ve been through the motions and i can tell you from experience that chances are apart from your friends, they probably don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>For example I have roughly 23k followers.  Wow right?  <strong>WRONG.</strong> Out of those 23k followers i would only interact with about 300-500 of them on any given day (which includes other peoples RTs&#8217; as well).</p>
<p>For me this is good news and its exactly when I started seeking for newer people that add more value to me and my network.  <strong> (Thats not to say i won&#8217;t be there for my present followers and friends, but adding a new dimension wouldn&#8217;t hurt).</strong> Out of all the recycled content we see everyday, I&#8217;ve realized that i wanted something more fruitful and meaningful with my daily twitter routine.</p>
<blockquote><p>What makes it worse is that there is only that much quality content out there, and chances are I&#8217;ve already seen it.  After all tweeting ahead of the Western World has its pros and cons.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ok enough about me here, lets take some simple steps to help you add more value.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Follow 1 person for every 10 who you follow.</strong></li>
<li>Tweet Less, concentrate on blogging and/or reaching your target audience in different ways.</li>
<li>Do simple background checks of your new followers, see what they are interested in &#8211; do they match your description?</li>
<li>Formulate a simple strategy, see if it works and if it does stick to it.</li>
<li>Define yourself and be as exact as you can on your Twitter Profile so that others can clearly see what you bring to the table.</li>
<li><strong>Follow lists curated by the best on Twitter.  This is the best way to find interesting people without having to digg too deep.  Try <a href="http://twitter.com/scobleizer">Robert Scoble&#8217;s</a></strong><strong> if you&#8217;re into tech or head over to </strong><strong><a href="http://www.listorious.com">listorious</a></strong>.</li>
<li>Start reading the articles you tweet not just the titles and descriptions.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t be fooled by people with alot of followers.  What you should look for is the follower/following ratios.  Just because some people have alot of followers doesn&#8217;t mean that they will add value to you.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions to people you respect or admire, even if they don&#8217;t get back to you.</li>
<li>Stick to it, be consistent with your approach and strategy.  The value will surely follow.</li>
<li><strong>Be opinionated.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Try the above steps out, I really feel that they will help you out.  At the end of the day if you feel you add value to others then you deserve the same in return, but its up to you to filter it out.  One things for sure and thats Twitter is changing, for the better.  Go ahead and evolve with the system, Good Luck!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p class = "alert">UPDATE:  <a href="http://twitter.com/dharmesh">Dharmesh</a> updates Grader every month and things are pretty much back to normal now.  Before i wrote this post I was under the impression that the whole algorithm changed.  </p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.grader.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2130" title="Twitter Grader" src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/grader.jpg" alt="Twitter Grader" width="550" height="305" /></a></p>
<p>Sometime over the weekend <a href="http://twitter.grader.com/">Twitter Grader</a> changed up their algorithm for ranking their top Twitter Users.   Most of the top users out there that we all know and are fond of (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/chrisbrogan">ChrisBrogan</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/zaibatsu">Zaibatsu</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/buzzedition">BuzzEdition</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/scobleizer">Scobleizer</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/guykawasaki">GuyKawasaki</a>, etc etc) cannot be found on the Top 100 users list and their grades have bumped down drastically.</p>
<p>A tweet from Grader and Dharmesh himself addresses the change in algorithm:</p>
<blockquote><p>Just released a *massive* update to the Twitter Grader algorithm.<a class="tweet-url web" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.grader.com/" target="_blank">http://twitter.grader.com</a> &#8211; Ranks will be erratic for a bit.</p></blockquote>
<p>My personal grade has suffered drastically and keeps on decreasing! LOL <img src='http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  (speaking of erratic!).   I am an advocate of change but can&#8217;t help thinking to myself how this will affect so many power users out there who regularly check their grades and compare with others?</p>
<p>Twitter sure seems to be changing, first with lists (and that war is just beginning) and now with this new algorithm that no one really knows much about.  It&#8217;ll be interesting to see whats next in their bag of tricks!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>This is a real quick and dirty post.  I love twitter and wanted to quickly share my thoughts on the <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter application</a>, its beauty, reliability and performance.  Note:  This isn&#8217;t a Dig on third party apps, just an honest opinion to my approach.</p>
<p class="alert">You might be thinking why would you want to make it harder on yourself?  Wouldn&#8217;t it be easier to RT people you have grouped and how do you remember all your cool friends?  Well that all depends on perspective and I&#8217;d like to share my strategy with you guys in a follow up post.</p>
<h3>1.  Updated Follower UI Design Feature</h3>
<p>Today Twitter updated its follower User Interface feature.  My personal perspective is: (1) This feature is widely used and should stand out amongst the rest (apart from the updating!) (2) Twitter would like more people to come directly to their application, and they do but many people opt out and go for a third party app.</p>
<p>One thing i find remarkable about the engineers at twitter, is that they sure know how to keep things simple.  I love that as I myself eschew complex approaches to simple solutions.  I&#8217;ve seen so many sites with a toggle like feature (list to expanded), however twitters solution is pristine!<br />
<img src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/expanded_ui.jpg" alt="Expanded View in the Follower feature on Twitter" title="Expanded View in the Follower feature on Twitter" width="550" height="440" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1730" /></p>
<p><img src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/list_view.jpg" alt="List View" title="List View" width="551" height="368" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1733" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1729"></span></p>
<h3>2.  Performance and Reliability of the Twitter App:</h3>
<p>Very simple concept here.  The TRADITIONAL WEB is the most reliable and combined with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)">AJAX</a> its extremely powerful.  I&#8217;ve used <a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta">tweetdeck</a>, I do admire the amazing app however it takes longer for the tweet to appear.  With Twitter (the app itself) you hit the update button and 99/100 times it&#8217;ll get updated into the stream!  Now thats impressive!</p>
<p><img src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/reliable.jpg" alt="Twitter is reliable!!" title="Twitter is reliable!!" width="550" height="133" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1738" /></p>
<p>When i first started tweeting, I met a really cool Social media maven @doshdosh who brought this to my attention.  Since then I haven&#8217;t looked back.  Thanks Maki!!</p>
<h3>3.  Favorite Tweets </h3>
<p>I read an article a while back stating that most users don&#8217;t favorite their tweets.  It further stated that the one region that does favorite their tweets are the Japanese, and you gotta love their thought-process for that!!  For some time now i have been adding all the cool tweets to my favorites, and think you should too.  There have been so many times i have seen tweeters asking other tweeters to find that one tweet that they are desperately looking for.  *So be clever, fave yours and others cool stuff for future reference.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/faves1.jpg" alt="Favorite your tweets!" title="Favorite your tweets!" width="550" height="473" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1756" /></p>
<p>All in all, my personal opinion highly favors that of the Traditional <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter Application</a> itself (even though i am a big lover of grids and columns).  The engineers over at twitter sure have done a remarkable job with the application and i feel we should appreciate their work and effort. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/scan1.jpg" alt="Scandinavians:  Cooler than Ice!" title="Scandinavians:  Cooler than Ice!" width="550" height="284" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1655" /></p>
<p>One of the coolest, kindest talkative and responsive people i have come to know on <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> are those of a beautiful Region called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia">Scandinavia.</a>  Not only are they genetically superior, tall handsome and lovely these people are probably one of the most intelligent and hard working humans in the world.  </p>
<p>Innovators, designers, programmers, sportsmen you name it Scandinavia has got it.  This is a nation which should not be overlooked, on Twitter or anywhere else.  The love and support I have received from them outweighs all of the others, and i appreciate that!</p>
<p>Ok so before i get into the post let me just give you a brief intro on the region as written on the Wikipedia:  </p>
<p class="alert">Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region in northern Europe that includes, and is named after, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Peninsula">Scandinavian Peninsula</a>. It consists of the kingdoms of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway">Norway</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden">Sweden</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark">Denmark</a>; some authorities argue for the inclusion of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland">Finland</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland">Iceland.</a>, In Scandinavia the term is, however, used unambiguously for Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which share a mutually intelligible language (a dialect continuum), ethnic composition and have close cultural and historic bonds, to a degree that Scandinavians may be considered one people.</p>
<p>[To follow them just click on the corresponding image to get to their twitter profile.  TIP:  Right Click and open in new tab or window.  Don't have a <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> account. Then <a href="http://twitter.com/signup">GET ONE HERE!</a>]</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been a reader of the <a href="http://www.time.com/time/">Time</a> for quite some time now and so happy that <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> has made it to the front cover.  Congratulations to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ev">Ev Williams</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/biz">Biz Stone</a> the brains behind the platform many of us have grown to love and use in our everyday lives.  </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t subscribe to Time you can read the Front Page story here online if you want &#8211;> <a href="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1902604,00.html">&#8220;How Twitter will change the way we live.&#8221;</a>  Taking a look at the cover page you will see that the concept of Twitter (web 2.0 technology) is clearly digitalized, effectively portraying a fresh perspective of what Twitter and its 140 character updates can offer you.</p>
<p>Indeed not everyone comes to Twitter for the same reason, but the universal concept of &#8220;abundance&#8221; in every form is what brings us all together in this powerful web 2.0 social media <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-blogging">micro-blogging </a>application.</p>
<p>We all love to engage each other in short conversations, share links and ideas, promote ourselves or brands but most of all we learn from each other.  One universal fact remains and thats learning from each others sharing, learning from different people and what they have to say.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/biz/status/2059253411"><img src="http://blogspot.fluidnewmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/twitter_biz1.jpg" alt="Biz Stone&#039;s update on the abundance of Twitter" title="Biz Stone&#039;s update on the abundance of Twitter" width="550" height="306" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1613" /></a></p>
<p class="alert">One of the founders of Twitter tweets about significant politicians using twitter to learn and spread their voice.</p>

<p class="alert">Or how about this woman who is clearly excited about how the platform can change her way of living through learning and sharing.</p>
<p>Point is that if you aren&#8217;t using <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> then you should!  It takes only 1 minute or so to <a href="https://twitter.com/signup">Sign Up</a> and add some followers.  So start observing and learning how twitter can change your life today!!</p>
