Comcast: Twitter Has Changed The Culture Of Our Company
-
As a very unhappy Comcast customer, I’ve had a number of interactions with Comcast’s Twitter team. There’s no doubt, they are very responsive, and are trying to be helpful. The real problem Comcast has is that their product and all other forms of service are simply not up to par, to put it nicely (I often put it much less nicely on Twitter).
Still, Comcast is a great example of a large company using Twitter in a meaningful way. And don’t think for a second that Twitter doesn’t know that. Expect them to unleash their monetization idea about charging these companies sometime soon.

10 People You Won’t See on Twitter Anymore
some of this makes sense, some of it makes me uncomfortable. but all is the result of twitter being a silo. like most web platforms, of course.
Share Groups of Twitter Users in One Click with TweepML
The simplest use case for TweepML is to allow sites or individuals to create a downloadable file that contains a list of Twitter users, allowing others to import the file and follow all those users easily in one fell swoop. — instead of trying to cram a big list of tweeps into 140 characters, you could simply create a TweepML file and point your followers to that.
Why Google won't create the next Twitter or Facebook or Posterous - scobleizer's posterous
scoble's got a point about most companies wanting avalanches but forgetting snowflakes.
-
innovations usually come about when it doesn't seem like anyone is interested. Let's go back to 2006 when Twitter was first released. I remember showing it to other people. They thought it was the lamest thing they'd ever seen.
-
The thing is to create an avalanche you've gotta make it snow one snowflake at a time. Big companies don't get that part of the equation. Why? Creating snowflakes is SMALL and isn't interesting to multi-billion-dollar companies.

How to fix URL-shorteners (Scripting News)
adjix solved the problem of user-owned domains. that would be cool
-
1. URL-shorteners are bad for the Internet. They centralize linking, and make it more fragile, and more controllable. Wait till the Chinese govt finds out about them.
2. When bit.ly breaks, it will be an outage that may be bigger than Twitter going down. Not only do we lose the present, but we lose the past too. One big URL shortener that dominates the others is itself a dangerous thing.
-
1. CNAMEs. It must be possible for the user to own and control the domain his or her URLs live at. Technically, this means I register the domain name, and map a sub-domain to the URL-shortener site with a CNAME record. Anyone who knows how to use Godaddy can do it. I would be happy to write a howto that explains.
2. Shared data. The URL-shortener and the user share a space where the data is stored. Joe Moreno at Adjix, who I have been working with, has figured out how to do it on Amazon S3. I have mapped a domain to an S3 bucket, and given his software permission to write to that bucket. Here's the key point. At any time I can revoke the permission and my URLs still work. Or Adjix could disappear, and the shortened URLs would still work. With this method the only way there is linkrot is if S3 goes down.

The Real-Time Web Is Not Hype: We Are All Traders Now
good post about real time web, applying it to supply chains and to human information management
-
Financial traders have lived in a real-time world for a while, but only within the confines of the trading floor. When they left work, they entered a batch world. Most other people work in a batch world. That is changing. We are all entering the real-time world of the trader. Some of us are getting there faster, but we are all heading there. And relax, there is an "Off" button!
-
Anything that can be sold in digital form is becoming part of this trend towards real time. We are simply matching supply and demand. Information (or code or images or songs) that was not worth very much yesterday is suddenly very valuable. Or the opposite: its value suddenly drops. No matter what the digital artifact -- writing, spreadsheet numbers, code, design, images, music -- matching supply and demand is critical to realizing value.

Epeus' epigone: How Twitter works in theory
excellent post on Twitter by Kevin Marks explaining its social, phatic nature. Also insightful is Bob Wyman's comment about recevier/sender controlled messaging. It made me think that Twitter is the first receiver controlled communication. Subcribing to blog feeds is also receiver controlled but less communication and more information managment. Mine! might take this a step further.. need to ponder more.
