  • “Datasift is not meant to be an end product,” says Halstead. And his rebranded Tweetmeme targeting developers who need precise streams of data,with a freemium ‘pay for the volume you consume’ or have ads show up in your stream model.

     

    With $1.5 million in funding and the hard lessons learned from the experience of Tweetmeme, it seems like Halstead this time at least has a shot at making all sorts of realtime information a little easier to sift through.

  • CS: Twitter hasn’t even done search 1.0 yet. It’s not about search it’s about ]push. this world is increasingly driven by analytics. It might not be a huge comany on it’s own.

     

    JL: If you can open this up for people start innovating than I’m all for it.

     

    DS: Tweetmeme processes 1 billion requests. We want to help the people who can make the next Flipboard.

  • Twitter has surprised its founders with how useful it has become to a wide variety of people — but the founders are also the first to admit that Twitter’s own Web site has not been the easiest, prettiest or most intuitive to use. “It’s amazing it’s grown so fast given how hard it is to use,” Twitter’s chief executive and co-founder, Evan Williams, said last spring.
  • “Twitter for iPad takes advantage of the iPad’s fluid touch interface, letting you move lots of information around smoothly and quickly –- without needing to open and close windows or click buttons,” wrote Leland Rechis, a user interface designer at Twitter, in a company blog post.
  • 3 more annotation(s)...

  • The iPad app works in 'layers' in the sense that each time you drill down into something (a tweet, a user account, etc.), it shows that on top of what you were doing before, but still shows a slim strip on the left so that you can go back to where you were.

    There's no mixing around, and everything's entirely linear. That's different from a windowing system, in which several different things are clamoring for your attention and mixing together.

  • Panes: Tapping on a Tweet opens a pane to the right. Depending on the content in that Tweet, you’ll see a video or photo, or maybe a news story, or perhaps another Tweet. You can continue tapping on Tweets, opening new panes, and getting new content as long as you’d like to. And, it’s really easy to move between panes by swiping to the right or left.
  • Media: When you tap a video link or open a web page with an embedded video, you can play that video inline. And, let’s be honest, video is great but sometimes it can take some time to load. The panes in Twitter for iPad let you look through your timeline while a video is loading, and then you can just swipe back to the video when it’s ready to play. You can also pinch on a video to watch it fullscreen.

  • It’ll be interesting to see if Gross can make even half the impact he did with GoTo / Overture (acquired by Yahoo 7 years ago almost to the day), which pretty much invented the sponsored search model.

  • 同时，TweetUp还表示正准备收购新闻聚合服务商Popurls。TweetUp希望通过收购Twidroid和Popurls打造一个发行网络，测试和完善其平台，以挖掘出世上最好的Twitter用户和信息。

    • Using these, apps can come up with interesting filters that increase relevance for my Twitter experience:

       
      • Show me tweets from users above an influence-rank threshold
      • Show me tweets from users who have at least x followers or x list memberships
      • Show me tweets from a specific geo-location
      • Only show me tweets that contain links or pics or videos
      • There can be interesting mashups and visualizations based on such metadata.
       

      As apparent from some examples from the top-of-my-head, there are lots of creative possibilities.

  • I expect Twitter will wait to see what developers come up with and then absorb the best innovations in its native implementations. In the meantime, Annotations will increase “stickiness” of specific Twitter apps and may be used to lock-in users to certain apps.

  • * Ok, great. How are we going to figure out what Joe Random's annotations 
    actually mean? 

    That's something we need to figure out as a community. But here is an early 
    idea: People could add some agreed upon "meta-annotation" that points to 
    something which *describes* the annotation or annotations that person is 
    using. Think something sort of like XML DTD, though not necessarily machine 
    readable. This meta annotation could point to a URL that simply has an HTML 
    document that gives a description with some examples of the various 
    annotations you're experimenting with or standardizing on. 

    * Will it be in search? Streaming? Mobile? My toaster? 

    We hope so! When we launch you will at minimum be able to attach annotations 
    to a tweet and consume annotations from a tweet's payload via the REST API. 
    Of course it would be awesome to be able to say to search or the streaming 
    API, "give me all tweets with this namespace", or "give me all tweets with 
    this namespace and key", or etc. We're working with the Search, Streaming 
    and other teams to make all this happen. We can't promise it'll be ready by 
    launch but we know it's killer and a must have and are trying to get it 
    ready soon.
