Well once you get done patting yourself on the back for owning such a magical device you’ll no doubt want to start tweeting from it. Of course that’s easy enough right? Through the myriad of apps and web services that should be no problem right?
When these links arrived as direct messages, as viewed through the Twitter site, they were unchanged. Nothing had been altered. My understanding is that links WILL change in direct messages in the near future, however.
Seventy-five million people signed up for a Twitter account by the end of 2009, the study said, though only 17 percent of them sent even a single Tweet in December, an all-time low for the micro-blogging service.
Just recently I launched TweetyBack.com a Twitter background website which allows Twitter users to download their own free background and place this in their profile twitter account. The range of free twitter backgrounds I have are much nicer then the standard backgrounds that Twitter has.
As previously reported, Microsoft has made deals with both Facebook and Twitter, which will see Bing feature updates from both networks in real-time search efforts. To me, this says that social media just became an even bigger part of search engine marketing, particularly with Google also on board with Twitter and rumored to be talking to Facebook.
Bing has already made a beta version of its Twitter search available to users at bing.com/twitter. The most interesting aspect of Bing's Twitter search is that it offers something plain old Twitter Search (formerly Summize) doesn't. That is a relevancy factor (or at least an attempted relevancy factor).

This year after Ebay sold 65% of Skype for $1.9 billion and regardless they seem to be unstoppable. But is this a short rise that will deaply stagger down. Personally I think that with over half a million users it’s very difficult to go backwards. I mean that is roughly 8.3% of the worlds population of 6 billion people.
Together with the legal battle Ebay are facing and the fight for Skype , Ebay are doing all they can to keep the user base up so that they will have some chance at winning their case. But what I find most interesting about all this is that they are being sued for the GI software source code which Skype is running off and that they have not paid for the license and have modified the code. It sounds like a real rat race to me.
It always seems big companies are being sued when they are on the rise or when they are doing extremly well. This means that they have more money to be sued with. They obviously were patient enough to wait up until now. What are your predictions?
