With no real path to profit for a lot of funded start-ups, is anyone suspicious that this whole thing is a giant money laundering scheme?
Both Twitter.com and Mobile.Twitter.com use this setting. I’m enabling this right now - it’s worth noting that Twitter for iPhone and iPad use HTTPS no matter what you choose in your Twitter Account settings.
Another brilliant piece by Ben Brooks. I’ve had a couple of emails taking my to task for my snarky retorts about the Quick Bar in Twitter for iPhone.
I don’t have a problem with Promoted Trends per se. I just can’t stand Trends at all. They’re by-and-large, the Internet’s collective stupidity, and the Twitter for iOS update throws that in my face1.
A sweeping generalisation, of course, but at the same time even in the midst of the most tragic of natural disasters the Quick Bar was still happy to show “Pearl Harbor” as a trending topic. ↩
This pretty much sums up my thoughts on Twitter’s recent API Rule changes.
So… “fortifying” the Android Marketplace is good, but… “curating” the App Store is bad? Is that about the shape of things?
Read Write Web think that the launch of TweetDeck’s longer-posting Deck.ly means that Twitter should expand beyond 140 characters.
The appeal and charm of Twitter is the conciseness it enforces. Otherwise what’s to differentiate it from almost every other status-update service?
Android, tablet, doesn’t suck - choose any two?
I’d pay $1.99 for a version of The Daily that doesn’t have comments.
At the moment comparisons of Android Honeycomb tablets with iPad 2 is like adjudicating races between unicorns and centaurs.
Microsoft: Users want choice.
Google: Users want open.
Apple: Users want things they can actually use to get their stuff done.
