Twitter’s New @Anywhere Platform

While many of us were waiting to see how Twitter would implement their new advertising platform, it seems Twitter had something else in mind first.Twitter announced at SXSW that they will be launching a new platform called @anywhere. The idea is to take the Twitter experience and allow it to be implemented anywhere on the web. As Twitter states it in their blog, “Soon, sites many of us visit every day will be able to recreate these open, engaging interactions providing a new layer of value for visitors without sending them to Twitter.com.”

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?

Google’s Super Bowl Ad

Super Bowl XLIV (44) was apparently the most watched show in US television history with an estimated 106.5 million viewers according to Nielsen Co. Of course the winners in this situation are definitely the viewers, no matter which team you were rooting for, but the runner-up is probably the various companies hoping to pull in consumers with their advertising. This year there were creative, touching and odd advertisements from a wide range of companies: Doritos, Coca Cola, Budweiser, Bud Light, Snickers, Anheuser Busch, Dove for Men, Kia, Hyundai, Bridgestone, Focus on Family, Vizio, GoDaddy.com and more.

In turn, these customers are usually the most loyal and will spread the word about your business. Let us hope you do not disappoint them.

Sharing Digg Submissions through Facebook Connect

Quite a few months back, I considered myself a Digg rock star. Gee, aren’t I humble? I was not the most popular user, but I had the formula down packed for getting a story on the first page. To Digg’s defense, before the shouting function was turned off, it really wasn’t too much of a challenge to rank well.

Twitter has made the social media revolution even more significant than by its forerunners; MySpace and Facebook. Celebrities, corporations, the computer savvy, and even the not-so-computer-savvy have taken interest in this word-of-mouth micro-blogging site; indeed, very powerful source for information.
