Twitter User Streams API Announcement Posted: 09 Sep 2010 12:08 PM PDT Twitter infrastructure employee, John Kalucki, recently reported Twitter's highly anticipated User Streams API will be in open beta testing in the near future. The User Streams API provides real-time updates of data needed to update a desktop application display such as TweetDeck. Therefore, this will allow tweets, retweets and all other Twitter updates to be streamed directly to these applications without delays or rate-limits/latency. For developers, the API will be available in the next couple of days for testing. This will be a useful feature when attending an event, conference etc where you are monitoring tweets real-time. It will also be helpful for those monitoring a business or brand online where knowing what are your customers are saying on a more current basis is critical. Do you see this feature being valuable for your business? image credit: JoshSemans |
Posted: 09 Sep 2010 08:38 AM PDT The "twitterverse" is alive every day with all kinds of chatter on a wide variety of topics. You can find and follow people who tweet about your interests be they Vegetable, Animal or Mineral. Lately I've been participating in a few "Twitter chats" that pertain to topics that interest me. What Is a Twitter Chat? A Twitter Chat as a real-time discussion on a pre-determined topic. They typically are scheduled for an hour and are "moderated" by the chat founder. There seems to be a chat for any topic any time of the day or night. All tweets pertaining to the topic are tagged by using a hashtag. Where Can I Find a Twitter Chat Listing? There are lots of folks who have started to track all the chats that happen on a weekly basis via Twitter. A simple Google search will turn up a few good lists. You can also start to follow a few of the chats I list here to get a better feel for what's available. How Do I Participate? Don't be shy….just join in. Find a chat that interests you and jump right in at the scheduled time. Don't forget the hashtag! Why I Like Them? I've met some great people and learned a few new tricks from Twitter chats.
