Re: BoomTown Reimagines “Hamlet” Soliloquy for Foursquare’s Crowley

You forgot "Hush you now, the fair Ophelia".

That was my favorite line!

It meant Ophelia was approaching and it would look stupid to be seen talking to oneself.

Now let's see an update for "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow". =)

May be good to allow the user to specify the time-limit if possible.

Re: The Twitter Replies Case

It seems that too much processing power was being used to lookup every one of your followers to see if they wanted to see your replies or not according to your settings. The change eliminated that heavy load and the new fix also keeps that heavy load eliminated as I understand.

Now most people will see a more active Twitter in their timelines whether they want to or not and power users will see a less active Twitter as a compromise.

The scalability issue @Biz mentioned was obviously the constant need to lookup thousands of settings per reply.

Maybe he felt that explanation would be complicated and confusing to everyone. Obviously, core Twitter users were smart enough to have been given the straight dope from the start.

This is a lesson to all of us tech companies not to assume our users are unsophisticated and wouldn't understand a simple technical explanation.

Re: How to Achieve 16K Followers OVERNIGHT!

Thanks for the tip on TweetDeck Groups. Can you explain more about the boiler rooms that create the content that these lazy people are sending out? Sometimes the content isn't bad but it doesn't take long to know when a human being isn't the one who just followed.

I recommend that one have at least 2 corporate accounts on Twitter: one for your company to gather end-user customers (you will have to follow many but not if they aren't "real") and the other account, more personalized, for you to follow and meet targeted strategic prospects. Follow around 200 on the latter account.

And then care about what people say. Retweet them to show you are actually reading and finding them interesting. I don't follow people if I don't see that they've retweeted anyone in the past 30 posts. It means, mostly, that they aren't reading others.

Regardless of whether the particular person who said they just caught the flu is a business target...say you wish them a recovery. You really don't want to miss a tweet related to poor health or tragedy that deserves your support or condolences - not from friends, family or those whom you wish to partner with in business.

Having said that...is there a search function for only those whom you are following?

It is impossible to always keep up with a stream of 200 people.

Eine wichtige neue Upgrade kommt nächste Woche. Da haben wir Foto-Visitenkarten im Email Header-Bereich, wir sind so weit in die Social-Networking-Trend wie in der E-Mail-Überlastungs Branche.

Wichtig waere es, mehr als einer E-Mail-Überlastungslösung zu installieren. Ausser die oben genannte Loesung denken Sie auch an weitere Angebote. Verwenden zum Beispiel das kostenlos SenderOK Plugin für Triage Ihre E-Mail-Posteingang.

SenderOK verwendet einen intelligenten Algorithmus zur Triage: zB E-Mails von Personen in Ihrem Adressbuch oder die Sie vorher geschrieben haben (oder dessen Websites besucht haben). Das Plugin (noch mal voellig kostenlos) macht auch Triage um E-Mail von jemandem, dessen Mails, die Sie vorher gelöscht haben. Dann gibt es noch einen sozialen Aspekt zu dieser Software: Wie haben andere darauf reagiert, als der Absender schickte E-Mails zu ihnen? Microsoft hat versagt diese Funktionalitaet in Outlook einzubauen.

Schließlich, verzeihen Sie mir für meine schreckliche Deutsch.
