Almost a year ago I wrote about how the next big innovation in micro-blogging search needs to be a move into “deep link” search, meaning searching not only the text of the update itself but also the link that’s included in that update. Doing so, I posited, would provide better results for the real-time web [...]

One of the comments made at The Conversation by a panelist or moderator when talking about the use of location awareness apps like Foursquare or Gowalla was that there was a good amount of ego involved in feeling that everyone needed to know where you were and what you were doing.

As everyone likely knows, Twitter debuted native list-making functionality last week to the entire user-base after a brief period of selective beta testing. You won’t be notified that you now have the ability to make lists until you log in to Twitter on the web and see the message at the top of the page. [...]

One of my biggest issues around Twitter is the lack of meta-data around a user and their updates. You can see followers and such but you can’t get easy access to information around a lot of the actions people take there, which makes the job of marketing professionals a bit harder when trying to compile [...]

A few days ago Facebook announced (via Mashable)it would allow, via a native application, users to decide if they wanted the updates they posted to Facebook also exported and published to their Twitter profiles. (8/31 Edit: Shanee pointed out this is only for Fan Pages and not personal profiles at this point. –CT) That’s kind [...]

I’ve been playing around with the new features rolled out by Delicious last week. In short, the social bookmarking site now allows you to do a couple things: First, when you visit the site and look at the latest links shared by people there is now a “Related Tweets” feature that works in an interesting [...]

One of the constant points of conversation (at least it should have been if you think about it for more than a few minutes) about URL shorteners is that you, the person who’s sharing that link on Twitter or your blog or wherever, are putting a lot of faith in that site/service continuing to exist.

Considering the amount of tweeting, retweeting and replying to tweets the @VoceNation crew did at WordCamp SF earlier this month it’s interesting to read this analysis by social networking company Pathable of the amounts and different types of Twitter updates posted at or around the event.
