Reliability Update Twitter has been making great progress in terms of uptime and reliability. Fail Whale sightings are far less frequent these days thanks to our efforts but we still have a long journey ahead. Last month we saw 99.88% uptime and so far this month we are at 99.96%. Our engineering and operations teams have been taking a very methodical approach to improving Twitter. We’re using the word “craftsmanship” to characterize our work here ...

Starting points This post assumes that you are already familiar with Twitter and are using it for a personal account, but if you ...

…It should start charging $1 per month for Gmail service. Twitter users probably represent one zillionth of the Gmail user base (yes, that is an exaggeration) and here is the Twitter reaction when Gmail went down for less than 30 minutes today: Twitter reaction Bravo Google, the world needs Gmail. I would venture a guess that at only $1 per month Google would likely retain well over 50% of its current user base. That’s a ...

There is some kind of a social media bubble. Not as much in a financial sense as in a conceptual sense. If you’re (over)using Friendfeed, Twitter, Wordpress, Wikipedia etc. you slowly begin to believe that this is the world. Maybe a bit larger than Silicon Valley, but no more than a global village. Many Startup enterprises are trying to sell solutions for problems created by other startups’ products. And in the line, there’s the next ...

Hello. I'm Svetlana and I'm a FriendFeed addict. I have a habit of checking FriendFeed every time that I strike out every single completed task on my to-do list (yes, I admit that I'm conservative enough to still do it on paper). A few minutes earlier I clicked the "Publish" button on the previous post and went to FriendFeed to see if I had anything urgent or interesting to reply to. And I failed. No, ...

Monitoring the Internet for people discussing your product or brand can be invaluable to help understand how the public views you. Tools like Google Alerts or Filtrbox can handle news, blogs and web pages while Summize keeps tabs on Twitter. For forums and message boards there is Twing. The last time we looked at Twing, Mike found the forum friendly search engine to be a useful tool in the search arsenal, particularly for finding help ...

Cuil went live Monday. The new search engine promises dramatically better search results: Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency. Cuil went live with an incredibly high level of publicity. Alas, the promise of the ...

Delver should add Mybloglog to their “Locate your Profile” section - it will help them building a wider social graph by drawing from a reach network. It may help them finally find and associate my blog with my profile. If not, at least let me add/claim it by myself. Muxtape is cool. Its simplicity is like Twitter, attractive. And the same as Twitter it needs something like Summize (now Twitter Search) for finding cool and ...

Nemrég szólt szajmon hogy hé, a twitter kicsit másképp néz ki, mint ahogy. Gyorsan frissítettem én is, és lám, valami ilyesmi lett belőle (alább kattintható), ő gyorsan le printscreen-elte, de szajmon twitter-designjának köszönhetően sajnos nem sok látszik belőle. De elmondjuk. Kicsit átalakult a betűtípus néhány helyen, pl. a státuszüzenet idejénél. Átláthatóbb lett, szellősebb, ez látszik az avataroknál is. Oldalt a navigáció menüszerű lett a két fehér oszlop egybevonásával, és átrendeződött néhány dolog. Például az utolsó ...

Now that Twitter has gone public with its Summize acquisition and Evan Williams’ detailed discussion with Mike Arrington at FooCamp, we can put to rest the garbage that Twitter is not perhaps the most important service of the next generation of computing. Williams’ transparency about potential business models may be of most interest to the TechCrunch audience, but for those who see the world through an enterprise lense, the Summize deal marks the end of ...
