Re: One reason why StockTwits is growing: Those Twitter ads

atul — Fri, 22 May 2009 19:40:18 -0000

Not only do these Twitter ads drive traffic, they also pass on a lot of Page Rank juice of the millions of Twitter user pages. It will be interesting to see how some of the sites performs once they are no longer the text ad(s) of the month. For example, traffic for exectweets and marchtweetness tanked after their initial twitter ad (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/exectweets.com/)

Wouldn't a service like GNIP make sense for Rocketboom?

How about
1. wsj.100twt.com
2. google.100twt.com (all googlers + official google twitter accounts)
3. tech.100twt.com (could be seeded with all twitter accounts that @google follows)

Twitter should add "Report Spam" button right next to "Reply" and "View Tweet" in the search results.

Re: What a first-time Twitter user sees (Scripting News)

Reminds me of Cable television. It looks like a 140 character version of cable tv. Lots of channels to surf but nothing worth watching (with the exception of @google tweet maybe)

Fred - Thanks for your kind words.

Dave - it is an honor to work with you and contribute to this project. I have been checking out both davememe and atulmeme pages over the last couple of days. The click numbers on the pages are very interesting. It gives me some feedback as to what news resonates with the folks following me.

They cleaned up the web UI a little bit too. The time portion shows in a different line. That part of the UI is less cluttered. Compare current UI with the older screenshots...

Instead of qwitter.com, use socialtoo.com It has an end-of-day report on who stopped following you. So far it has worked well for me.

The overall trends page appears to be updated as well (http://www.google.com/reader/view/#trends-page). It shows "items posted" as well as "items read". Previously it used to graph the "items read" only.

Re: BREAKING: Yahoo to Cut 1,430 Jobs

atul — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:55:17 -0000

It says at least 10% in the press release.
Because the majority of expenses are headcount-related, Yahoo! expects to reduce its global workforce by at least 10 percent during the fourth quarter of 2008"
So the number could be more than 1430.

Looks like Alexa does show avc.blogs.com but it does not allow me to compare in.yahoo.com vs. my.yahoo.com vs. www.yahoo.com vs. uk.yahoo.com. It is just one single number for all these properties.
