Re: TweetPhoto: TwitPic Finally Gets a Real Competitor

Actually we initially built Tweetphoto and had OAuth working solidly. Then when they had a security issue 1 week before our launch they shut it off for 2 days with no advance notice to developers. Very risky to build your site authentication on a non proven technology (tho there are some advantages). We made an executive decision to not use OAuth until it is rock solid. ;)

Jennifer & Jeremy,

We are working with third party app developers so that users can send their photos thru iPhone twitter apps, BlackBerry's, desktop aps, clients, etc.

We are releasing our exhaustive API next week. Our dev team is running as fast as we can and we will let you know when we have some more announcements to make in these areas.

Cheers!

some will be active, some will not. But you have to try it to know it. Some people hate cell phone... but how many people use them because it is the way they need to communicate? ;)

The peer pressure factor is what drove facebook and is also driving participation in twitter. It is metcalfe's law in full effect buddy. ;)

Re: Head-to-Head: TweetDeck vs Seesmic Desktop

Rodney_Rumford — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:37:38 -0000

it plays a large role because it is THE pipe & platform. I seriously doubt this would happen as collectively they only encompass about ~16% of the Twitter users.

Sweetness. this could be very interesting. but the real question is do i need another device to carry?

Re: Kevin Rose launches WeFollow: a Twitter user directory

Rodney_Rumford — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 05:45:04 -0000

I think this is a smart idea and nice execution. But it needs to go beyond the Popularity metrics.

Re: Mashable Acquires Blippr

Rodney_Rumford — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:06:45 -0000

Duncan,
Nice Post. I am excited to see this acquisition take place. I have been a fan of the smart guys at blippr for some time and have used the service extensively. The platform that they have built is quite impressive and this marriage makes good sense.

I actually like the way that my blips end up in my twitter stream. they have also integrated with friendfeed, etc.

Cheers!

Re: Yes, we've been acquired by Mashable!

Rodney_Rumford — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:52:47 -0000

Congrats Guys. I am so happy to see this happen. As you know I have been a fan and proponent of what you guys at blippr have been doing since the early days. I think you found a nice marriage with the team at mashable!

Happy blipping and may this take over the world. ;) Cheers!

thanks for sharing this. "@jack came with the idea of twitter as a side project. It is hard to do a side project while we were focusing on Odeo"

It is always hard to keep focus; but some ideas just arise when you least expect them to. amen!

Re: 11 Reasons You Can't Ignore Social Media in 2009 | SocialComputingMagazine.com

Rodney_Rumford — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:32:42 -0000

Nice blog post. Social networks keep growing and are here to stay. Facebook now at 220 Million users. (18 months ago that was 20 million).

When will companies wake up and really jump in and engage instead of just putting their toes in the water? They need to realize that social networks are distribution and consumption channels that simply can't be ignored.

More details, case studies and best practices for them to follow are here: http://www.twitterbusinessbook.com

Thanks for pointing out this stat Mark. Most people don't realize that there is an art and science to effective retweeting. Dan has the science down pat.

Re: The 5 Stages Of Twitter Acceptance. Where are YOU at? | Blog of Mr. Tweet

Rodney_Rumford — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:20:00 -0000

I am on stage 7 ;-) I have been on Twitter since the early beta days; just over 2 years. It has taken an investment of time and effort to build a strong influence network on Twitter. But it is well worth the effort. I have shared the best practices & knowledge in my upcoming book at http://www.twitterbusinessbook.com

Cheers!

Re: How Transparent is Your Business?

Rodney_Rumford — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 04:21:23 -0000

Jesse. This is one of the best analogies i have seen to date on transparency. Asking companies to do that is really cultural shift and the are paralyzed by fear of what people might read about them. News flash. People are sharing all this data about their company, brand, products and services online. They just have their heads in the sand. ;)
