19Apr11 How Much Do You Twitterize?

By now we already know that Twitter definitely has a language all its own and as time goes by we tend to abbreviate more and more on Twitter or create new words to make sure we don’t go over that dreaded 140 character limit. Twittonary was created to help those confused with all this unique lingo and allow people to share their Twitter words with others. So, no more being confused by all those twitterized sentences. Still need a little help? Check out some of the fun new twords just recently added:

Twitterize: To turn a word or phrase into Twitter-based language.

tweesciple: Higher level of being a follower. A follower who constantly retweets your tweets.

twoodle: to tweet aimlessly during a boring, foolish activity.

fa-bweeting: Means face-booking and tweeting at the same time

15Sep10 The NEW Twitter… Coming Soon!

Times are changing and Twitter is adapting to be more interactive, more social, and easier for the masses to enjoy! Check out the cool new video and new features we can expect to see in the coming weeks.

New design

You will now find @mentions, retweets, searches, and lists just above your timeline – creating a single, streamlined view on the left of the screen. On the right, you can see the features you’re familiar with, including whom you recently followed and who recently followed you, favorites, and Trending Topics.

Ability to view photos, videos, and other media content

Now, it’s easy to see embedded photos and videos directly on Twitter, thanks to partnerships with Dailybooth, DeviantArt, Etsy, Flickr, Justin.TV, Kickstarter, Kiva, Photozou, Plixi, Twitgoo, TwitPic, Twitvid, USTREAM, Vimeo, Yfrog, and YouTube.

Discover related content

When you click a Tweet, the details pane shows additional information related to the author or subject. Depending on the Tweet’s content, you may see: @replies, other Tweets by that same user, a map of where a geotagged Tweet was sent from, and more.

Mini profiles

You can click a @username to see a mini profile without navigating from the page, which provides quick access to account information, including bio and recent Tweets.

Rollout timing

These changes will roll out as a preview over the next several weeks. During the preview, you’ll be able to switch back and forth so you have time to grow accustomed to the way things work. Eventually, everyone will have the updated version of Twitter.com.

22Mar10 2010 Twestival Supports ‘Concern Worldwide’

This week on March 25 2010, people in hundreds of cities around the world will come together offline for a Twitter festival and meetup of sorts known as Twestival and create awareness for a very special cause- Concern Worldwide, an organization dedicated to the reduction of suffering and working towards the ultimate elimination of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries.

Twestival™ (Twitter Festival) uses social media to bring people together to support various causes and creates awareness for social good. All of the local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.

Each city and organization hosting a Twestival will be given the opportunity to select an area of education to support. This will be recognized with a special icon on their website once they have set a goal. For as little as $28USD they can provide the uniform, books, pencils, and paper a child needs to attend one year of school. Concern Worldwide are able to guarantee that 100% of Twestival funds will go direct to project costs.
