Twitter Updates Their Web, iOS, And Android Apps

by on 08. Dec, 2011 6:38PM in FTW, Internet, Social Media

This is quite a nice set of tweaks from Twitter. First they’ve gotten some important things straight on their web client, iOS app, and as well as their Android app. Twitter is now defined via four new categories: “Home”, “Connect, “Discover”, and “Me”, each doing exactly what you expect of them to make the service so much easier and faster to use. The web version will be updated in the next few weeks for every Twitter user, however the iOS and Android versions are already updated and ready for download on their respective app stores. Check  out the video below and the source link for some of Twitter’s input on the new design. Via: Twitter Blog

Twitter Is Now Rolling Out Its Direct Image Uploading Feature

by on 09. Aug, 2011 5:56PM in Breaking, Social Media

It’s about time. Twitter now has integrated image uploading, courtesy of Photobucket. On the Twitter desktop site, you can just click the icon and browse for the file you’d want to upload. Then just type the few lines that consist of a tweet, and you’re done. Two interesting things to heed as according to Twitter is that one, the images may “disappear” after a certain amount of time (that time period isn’t exactly specified) and that two, the new feature will take some time to roll out to all Twitter users. Otherwise, it’s only up from here.

by on 01. Jun, 2011 2:12PM in Apps, Breaking, Internet, Social Media

It’s something that has been in the works it seems, then let out with a bang. Twitter.com will soon support photo uploads which are backed by Photobucket’s servers in a behind-the-scenes move in the upcoming weeks by rolling out to a few select users on a gradual basis. Also this service is coming to all of Twitter’s mobile apps. Also included is their new search engine for Twitter, which now allows you to search for photos and videos related to the search query. Their promo vid is below, and the link to their announcement and blog post is at the source link. Via: Twitter Blog

iOS 5 May Have Twitter Integration, Though No One Is Sure About That

by on 31. May, 2011 9:20PM in Apple, Mobile, Rumors

You have the geek, John Gruber from Daring Fireball on one end, then you have MG from TechCrunch. Both believe iOS will feature Twitter integration at a system-level, in the same way that you can share a video on YouTube in iOS, just that in this case it would be sharing anything on Twitter. Also in the cards could be Facebook and others, but most of the concentration goes to Twitter. We’ll all get to see how this plays out once iOS 5 is announced on June 6th, which is less than a week away.
TechCrunch’s side:

We’ve heard from multiple sources that Twitter is likely to have a big-time partner for such a service: Apple. Specifically, we’re hearing that Apple’s new iOS 5 will come with an option to share images to Twitter baked into the OS. This would be similar to the way you can currently share videos on YouTube with one click in iOS. Obviously, a user would have to enable this feature by logging in with their Twitter credentials in iOS. There would then be a “Send to Twitter” option for pictures stored on your device.

Then Gruber’s short quip:
So close to the bigger story, but yet so far. Imagine what else the system could provide if your Twitter account was a system-level service.

A Delightful Twitter For Mac Update Arrives

by on 12. May, 2011 9:49AM in Apple, Apps, FTW, Social Media

So Twitter for Mac has been updated via the Mac App Store? New features according to the official Twitter blog are:

  • See multiple timelines at once. You can open more than one Twitter for Mac window at any time, giving you a chance to view your home timeline, @mentions, lists, multiple accounts, and more – all at once. Just go to the Window menu and then scroll down to “Open in New Window”.
  • Take actions more quickly and easily. We made design changes that make the app easier to use and look even cleaner.
    • We added a bar along the top that lets you easily click back to previous pages.
    • There is now a separate “New Tweet” button in the bottom left corner of the app.
    • We improved the design of Direct Messages, making it easier to view a conversation.
    • User profiles now make it easier to learn about and interact with a user.
  • Tweet faster. Twitter for Mac now has username and hashtag auto-complete.

Awesome. And I can tell you personally that after updating it’s a much more refined and faster app overall. Go get it!

Twitter Has Bought Tweetdeck For A Solid $40-$50 Million

by on 02. May, 2011 9:06PM in Apps, Did You Know?, Social Media

First of all, congratulations to the team of Tweetdeck. Secondly, this is surprising, in a way, as according to Arrington over at TechCrunch. With Twitter’s app-buying barrage, ranging from the Tweetie app for iOS and Mac, to Echofon, UberTwitter, and now the almighty Tweetdeck, Twitter has control over most of the Twitter popular app developers unders its wings, and will see much less competition (or will they?). Now it is time to see what they do with their outdated and crashy iPad app, and whether or not changes will be served to the Android and iPhone versions.
