All in Twitter
Thanks to my buddy Adam over at Universalhub, I caught wind of a little story that might make us Bostonian's a bit pissed off.
According to the post by Max Silver over at BostInnovation, Twitter's topics algrithm isn't picking up anything for Boston. In fact, the trends are old and stale. The trends haven't changed since the NBA Finals and Grand Theft Rondo is still a "trending topic."
Max reached out to Twitter to say, WTF? Us Bostonians are hardcore Twittaaah (Twitter) users so we should be trending like a mutha f*cka. So, he asked Twittaaah what the deal was and got this response:
LeBron and his PR flackStop the presses. Hold the trucks. Put in for overtime for the union workers.
The King tweeted.
Yes, you read that right, LeBron James, the media-dubbed King of the NBA, has joined Twitter and sent out his first tweet:
Hello World, the Real King James is in the Building "Finally". My Brother @oneandonlycp3 gas'd me up to jump on board so I'm here. Haaaa
The confirmation that the tweet was from THE LeBron James comes way of his PR flack, Keith Estabrook.
Tweetie has long been a darling of Mac-owners who are typing 140 characters at a time. And yes, this is the same Tweetie that was bought by Twitter. The iPhone app is now called Twitter for iPhone (lame, I know, but it works). When Tweetie was bought by Twitter, the founder promised that the application would remain simple, yet functional. Today, with a slight update, those promises are starting to come true.
This is a work-related post, but I need my peeps to help me out.
The concept is simple: For those of you on Twitter, please ReTweet a message from the @theonehundred Twitter account that includes the #TweetForACure hashtag, and $1 goes to cancer research.
Copy and paste one of the options below into your Twitter status to ReTweet:
The biggest news coming out of the Twitter world over the past day or so is that the company acquired the very popular Mac and iPhone app Tweetie.
On the heels of that news, Tweetie users were somewhat up in arms about what this means for the popular app and whether or not we'd see Tweetie 2 for Mac (Tweetie 2 for the iPhone has been out for months).
