Status
America loves Twitter. For those unfamiliar with Twitter, it is a microblogging platform that allows user to post status updates of upto 140 characters. According to a report out last week from Pew, 11 percent of Americans “use Twitter or update their status online,” which is honestly greater than I expected. However, Twitter has been growing exponentially over the past few month (Google Trends: Twitter). Here are the main takeaways from the Pew report:
- Eleven percent of online American has used a service like Twitter or another service that allowed them to share updates about themselves or to see the updates of others.
- The use of Twitter is highly intertwined with the use of other social media; both blogging and social network use increase the likelihood than an individual also uses Twitter.
- As a group, Twitter users are much more likely to be using wireless technologies — laptops, handhelds and cell phones — for internet access, or cell phones for text messaging.
- Twitter users engage with news and own technology at the same rates as other internet users, but the ways in which they use the technology — to communicate, gather and share information — reveals their affinity for mobile, untethered and social opportunities for interaction.
Full-Length Movie on YouTube: Ghostbuster
Today is the last day that YouTube is featuring the greatest documentary on paranormal investigation and activity ever produced in full … for FREE. Here’s an excerpt from the YouTube Blog:
Today, we wrap up our week-long feature of the 1984 classic,Ghostbusters. Over half a million of you tuned in, but many more of you outside the U.S. wanted to. Some of you have also wondered why the movie would come off the site. We work with our partners to make content as widely available as possible and for as long as possible. However, videos distributed on YouTube belongs to those who create and/or own them, not to us.
Anyhow, since they won’t let me embed the video, here’s the link to the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22hUHCr-Tos
iPhone Screen Grabs
Having just gotten my iPhone a month ago, I’m still catching up on some of its features. I just figured out how to take a screen shot on the iPhone. Here are the directions:
1. Hold down the home button and then press the top button.
2. The screen will flash meaning that the screenshot was taken.
3. Go to your camera roll to view the screen grab.
Facebook offends with redesign
Facebook rolled-out a new layout this week, with rounder image corners and a status updates ad nauseum. People are pissed. According to a poll presented on Techcrunch earlier today, 94 percent of the 800,000 respondents do not like the redesign.
What do you think?
