...and, LittleSnapper looks more PRO than Skitch... I use it regularly to upload screenshots to my blog... it does everything automatically and also gives me the HTML code to embed the image just uploaded.

QuickSilver is great and you can do much more than just launching apps, but if launching apps is the only purpose, I would recommend Namely. Very (very) light and does its job very well.

You will never see this stop sign in France. It's purely Canadian.

Interesting point. I thought it was more a French-Italy issue...

This is a big slap to the blackberry community. As a BB user, the main downside of those devices is memory. On an iPhone, you can play with a lot of apps all together, on a BB you must make choices... Not great.

Well, I actually say "retweet one of his tweets you think COULD be interesting for your followers". There could be a case when you can't do anything of the three things mentioned in my post. Well, in that case the best is just doing nothing (IMHO).

Re: Hi, I’m a Twitter Translator!

Re: Hi, I’m a Twitter Translator!

Julienne — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:27:24 -0000

Well, this just shows that your company forgot to check the fields of expertise of the hired translators. I have been working as a professional translator for about 9 years, but I would never dare to translate e.g. legal texts, because I am no expert when it comes to jurisdiction. When it comes to fish keeping though, or virtual worlds and communities and social networking, or market surveys, I am more than experienced. So if your company hired me for a legal text, the result would be unusable as you say - but if it hired me for the translation of the manual of a proteine skimmer, chances are high the result is pretty good. This means, for a good result you do not only need a professional translator, but also one who is familiar with the field the text comes from, [quot] not a multitude of options [quot] ;-)

Sorry but I disagree with you. I can't remember how many times my company hired pro translators to make translations of internet services / tech documents in various languages and most of the time the result was almost unusable.

In this case, Twitter made the best possible choice: 25 fluent english speaking italian passionate Twitter users. There is also a forum where we are discussing the best terms to translate some phrases or words. Twitter made a very good move, imho.

Re: Facebook Growth in Europe is Impressive, And Italy is #2. Good Or Bad?

Hi Eric,
thanks for dropping by and for sharing that useful information. I mean nothing special. You say "Turkey, assuming one considers it part of Europe (we do, for these purposes), grew the most.". Most poeple in Europe tend to consider Turkey a European country already and it is also among the three countries candidates to become part of the UE. So, I'm just saying that it makes a lot of sense to consider Turkey a European country, for this kind of stats as well as for other purposes.
Best

Thank you so much, Luca. Your article is dead on, and articulates many things I have been thinking about Twitter.

Hi Ray, thanks for stopping by. Your case is and excellent example of a non social-media/techie/web guy who is leveraging Twitter at its best. Congrats!

Noisy and not engaging = stuff like this: "RT @somehandle RT @someotherhandle RT @anotherhandle Good morning!" or "#WhyBecauseWeLikeYou @somehandle @someotherhandle @anotherhandle ..." which are types of posts that are quite common among the Tweerank top 12.

Re: Introducing Tweerank, The Definitive Engagement Score for Twitter

filosnet — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:57:46 -0000

It depends on how we define "noisy". People who share a lot of info on Twitter as well as people who reply a lot and engage conversations with other users are rewarded against soliloquist and "ego" kind of people.

Re: Introducing Tweerank, The Definitive Engagement Score for Twitter

filosnet — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:56:31 -0000

It makes sense. From my post:

I also wanted to point out that many other “famous” people in the tech industry are not necessarily influential/engaging/active on Twitter. Look at the Twitter founders: @ev has rank 61.72 and @biz has rank 54.93. Not much, if compared with less “popular” tweeps who are using Twitter way better. Well, it just reflects ther actual activity. Just 4600+ tweets since the launch of Twitter and @biz has over 1000 less. So, despite they are undoubtely VIPs in the field of technology, internet and microblogging, they don’t use Twitter in a way their followers can enjoy it.
