Is Twitter Everything Twitter Needs?
Alex Payne, Lead for the API team at Twitter, sent out a Tweet hinting at new features that may render Twitter third-party clients useless. This led me to wonder… why hasn’t Twitter been able to self-sufficiently maintain a user-friendly interface? It seems like I end up using third-party clients like TweetDeck and Seesmic more often [...]

MySpace & the Grammys: “It all started with MySpace”?
The 2010 Grammy Awards was filled with wall to wall celebrities, spectacular performances, surprising appearances, shocking winners and most importantly marketing! There was the in-your-face outfit of Lady Gaga and the much anticipated performances by Beyonce, Drake, Green Day and Taylor Swift but, in between, were the extensive marketing efforts of the Grammy Awards.
Looking Back at the Last Decade
2010 has arrived, and although we’re not at The Jetsons status yet, the first decade of the millennium brought a lot of new technology that has changed many facets of the way we live. Many, myself included, will forget that some of the things we use everyday are less than a decade old.

Recently Twitter added a new feature in the hopes of making the social site more user-friendly. “Twitter Lists” is a new way to organize like-minded tweeters into lists. This should be another step in the right direction for Twitter which may have reached a plateau in growth.

Using Social Media to Screen Employees
There are millions of people in the U.S. that are currently searching for a job. You might be one of them and have probably been between jobs longer than you’ve ever experienced. By now your resume has probably made the rounds on CareeBuilder.com, Monster.com, and Craigslist.com. You have probably gone to many interviews and felt you have done all the right things to seal the deal, but no one has called you back for a final interview.

Why Twitter Might Not Last
Okay maybe the title is going a bit too far; Twitter does have the potential to be around just like the other social networking sites (Facebook, Myspace). It is already the third largest in this category. I’m sorry people but I just don’t find Twitter beneficial to me in any way. Yes it is fun updating your Twitter status throughout the day, but think about it. Does anyone really care about your blog, what you are doing at the time, who you are, and why your tweets are so important? Or is everyone on Twitter so self indulged with marketing themselves that it has just become a broad network of narcissists who feel that their content and whatever they have to say in their tweets is important enough to spend hours following people who they may never even see on their profile once.
