According to ancient legend, Tim O'Reilly initially popularized, and may have invented, the concept of the retweet. Now the Twitter dev team is making them an official feature. In doing so, will they make twitter.com a better alternative to 3rd party clients, at least in the short term? http://www.itworld.com/internet/84350/twitter-rolling-out-official-retweets-all-users#comments Internet Software Opinion Twitter Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:07:38 -0500 pasmith 84350 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/83845/new-twitter-features-borrow-3rd-party-clients Twitter feels more and more like an ecosystem these days. Twitter takes features out of clients and rolls them into the API. The client devs incorporate new Twitter features and then extend them.

I take a quick look at what Lists offers and how it can be improved. http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/83000/twitter-lists-roll-out-rest-us#comments Personal tech News Twitter Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:31:27 -0400 pasmith 83000 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/82925/tweeting-office-have-you-checked-your-contract Hey you -- the developer sitting in that suburban cube farm, happily twittering away about going to lunch, the bug report you're filing, and that startup idea that's been bouncing around your head lately. We hate to break it to you, but the work contract that you signed gives your company ownership of those tweets ... not to mention any Facebook posts, LinkedIn profile updates, and YouTube videos that you may have worked on or uploaded from a work machine or over your company's network. http://www.itworld.com/internet/82925/tweeting-office-have-you-checked-your-contract#comments Business Internet Legal Opinion Facebook LinkedIn Twitter YouTube Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:41:38 -0400 ITworld staff 82925 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/82916/twitter-rolling-out-new-lists-feature-week Twitter said that half of its users had access to the new Lists feature that began rolling out earlier this week. http://www.itworld.com/internet/82916/twitter-rolling-out-new-lists-feature-week#comments Internet News Twitter Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:36:01 -0400 ITworld staff 82916 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/82409/study-facebook-twitter-use-work-costs-big-bucks A survey by a U.K. rsearch firm found that business use of social networks costs business in the country more than $2.25 billion a year. http://www.itworld.com/internet/82409/study-facebook-twitter-use-work-costs-big-bucks#comments Internet IT management/strategy News Facebook social networking Twitter Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:08:43 -0400 ITworld staff 82409 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/82235/real-time-search-amp-twitter-whats-it-corporate-types Judging by some of this week's headlines relating to Twitter and the search partnerships with Microsoft and Google, you'd think Elvis had suddenly reappeared.
