Twitter launched its new design recently! Before it was just a simple micro blogging platform in which a user updates his/her profile status and shares them to friends. Twitter now turns into a superb social networking service, where most people access valuable information. It’s a place wherein we could grab and stay updated with worldwide news and events. Twitter is a place for branding. A lot of big companies in the world and influential people in different categories are already using Twitter for several reasons.

With its new homepage is a more concise Twitter description: “Share and discover what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world”. Before it was: “Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”

Twitter also updated its “trending topics”. Previously it gives eight to ten trendy search results, now it displays twenty three trendy topics updated constantly. Twitter will still undergo changes along the way to provide users with more quality and accurate search results.

Together with Twitters’ launched of a new homepage is the new plug-in service called “Add a Tweet” by Dmitry Shapiro. “To make every page on the Internet commentable”, this is AddaTweet’s mission. To install, simply watch the video for instructions.

Do you have a twitter account? If you have, what did you usually update in your profile? Twitter has been considered as one of the free micro-blogging service that let any twitter users to disseminate and at the same time read some of the twitter user’s updates. Since the existence of twitter in the world of the internet, it became one of the famous micro-blogging services. However, I have noticed that some of the twitter users are taking advantage of its friendly usage. And I admit, I can consider myself as one of them. If you were one of them, you should have to take into account these dos and don’ts of twitter that I had read, before someone will call you a spammer.

The don’ts

• Don’t keep on talking about your recent company.

• Don’t use bad words when updating your status, readers may find it rude.

• Don’t try to put everything about you which sounds unnecessary.
• Don’t just post a link about your website; this would really sound like spamming.
• If you were just a new twitter user, don’t get rush in following various people when many of them are not following you. Again, this would only show that you were spamming.
• And lastly, don’t ignore those followers who were following you and don’t just ignore their direct messages. If possible respond to them, this would be one of the best ways to build their trust on you.

The dos

• If you already sign up for your twitter account make sure you have a genuine avatar. This would let the other twitter users to easily determine you.
• If you were working in a prestigious company and somebody mentioned your company in their twitter updates follow them and send them a direct message as your compliments.
• If you have a blog, news and among others put it to your twitter update but minimize its usage.
• Put a least one twitter status update a day; don’t post a link in every minute of the day. This could be considered as spamming.
• Think twice before posting your tweets, not clear tweets would end up into a mess.
• And lastly, just enjoy tweeting by following of course its dos and don’ts.

It seems that Twitter indeed will always be a headline not only in the northern side of the globe but also on the southern side. But this time, it seems that this popular microblogging services is getting too famous for the taste of China government. Yes, it was June 2, 2009, Tuesday when Twitter was blocked from customer access across mainland China.

The Twitter network seeks consolation from the fact that they were not the only one who was blocked. Hotmail, Bing.com and Flickr were among those that were denied to the residents of China.

Reasons for the black out was not really clear, though media pointed out the protest movement evaluation which was published in the internet was the reason.

Another controversial issue is: Is twitter becoming the haven of spammers?

According to the article I found on Yahoo tech, the administrators of twitter are answering the issue on spamming. Yet, on the other side of the coin, if one follow a certain account and allows it to send messages (viewed as spam), can we consider these unwanted messages if we subscribed to it?

Has it ever occurred to you why we are studying History? Why should we when they are part of the past and we are the present?

…so that we will not commit the same mistakes that ‘History’ made in the past.

Then I suggest in light of this statement that marketers or any big companies should be aware of Web 2.0, social media and social network histories. Why? For it may cost them millions if they do not.

PepsiCo’s spent $35 million for its redesign and change of Tropicana Orange juice package; just to revert back to the old design due to the clamor of few loyal customers of Tropicana. The company has undermined the power of communication in Social Networks. When the company decided to change the old design of straw-in-an-orange into something new, it enraged consumers had made known their displeasure in the blogosphere. And it all started here IN THE WEB.

And another news breaker is the New Terms and Conditions of the popular social network in the world: Facebook. This social network reverted to the old terms and conditions when users and media protested thus creating a firestorm of reactions on its new terms and conditions.

Twitter is another social network always on the headline. Its first became a headline when users of twitter used it to relate events of Mumbai attacks. News and first hand stories and experiences, and pictures were tweeted in this social network before the news reporter and media got hand of it. Another hot issue is when Congressman Pete Hoekstra made known to the world that the congressional delegates had just arrived in Iraq which also received it own spotlight in the front page.

Some of the examples above are just a few of the “history” that cost them bad publicity, first hand news, or million dollars even lives. So, a smart company should have a consultant with a grasp of the Web 2.0.

I love the Obamas on day one. As much as I would like to follow everything that this family does, the web is just a far too massive tool to follow them on. And sometimes writers just sensationalize everything that they write so people will read what they write. After the Inauguration I followed some write up about the Obama’s and stumbled upon so many topics ranging from obama retakes oath to michelle obama dress size including a news item about the hacking incident on president obama and Britney Spear’s account in twitter.

So, I searched the President’s name on twitter; to my amusement there are so many accounts that use obama as their twitter id. The twitter id ranges from airobama, chuckobama to barak_obama. Though, the real president’s twitter id is this. There are a total of 176 twitter id with obama on it, that is as of the moment this article was written.

When twitter accounts of President Obama and actress Britney spears were hacked and spread on news- I expect the popularity of the twitter network to plummet down a little if not much. But to my surprise and relief the visitor has increases tenfold according to telegraph.co.uk, in fact twitter jumped from the 2,953rd to 291st most popular website in the middle of January in UK. I followed several celebrities on twitter besides President Obama like Britney Spears, Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry.

With the recent Inauguration, twitter together with facebook also is center stage together with president. Twitter is getting stronger, more famous and innovative for 2009.
