With the announcement this week that Twitter is going to start integrating photo sharing into their website, a lot of users seemed to realize all of a sudden that they didn't actually realize that you could post images on Twitter. To make matters worse, after making the announcement that Twitter photo sharing was in development, Twitter removed the old instructions about how to post pictures on Twitter from their website in preparation for the eventual launch of their own Twitter image sharing features.

Twitter launched their new Twitter follow button this week, and web developers are already scrambling to figure out how to implement it on their websites. Luckily, getting the new Twitter follow button on your website is a lot easier than you might think - in most cases, it's as simple as copy/paste.

For years now Twitter has been widely considered to be one of the most open platforms in the world in terms of third-party applications, but from all appearances, that seems to be changing as Twitter is taking an increasingly hard line against developers who step on the microblogging platform's toes.

This graphic shows the importance of twitter and social networks for spreading ideas, news and information.  What you see is each tweet visualized as a dot and you can see how the information traveled.  It also travels fast.  

This particular image is for how the news broke on twitter that Osama Bin Laden was killed.  We are not going to go into nitty gritty detail about that, hit up the source link for very detailed blow by blow. 

Thousands of Canadians took to Twitter yesterday to defy a Canadian government ban on Tweeting early election results, risking heavy fines in the name of free speech and open access to information.

Microblogging platform Twitter is absolutely ablaze at the moment following today’s announcement by U.S. President Barack Obama that the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist network, Osama bin Laden, has been confirmed dead following a firefight by U.S. soldiers in Pakistan.

“Bin Laden” is currently the #1 trending topic on Twitter, and a quick look at the timeline reveals that nearly half of all tweets are currently discussing the news.

Wildly popular microblogging platform Twitter got nailed this week by what may well go down in history as the Dumbest. Lawsuit. Ever.

Dumber than that one time that old woman put hot coffee in her crotch and then sued McDonalds because she spilled hot coffee into her crotch?

Yes.

Dumber than that one time that cat burglar fell through his intended victim's skylight, hurt himself on some kitchen knives, and then sued the burglary victim for negligence?

Definitely.

This just in from a press release from Bloomberg and we thought it is interesting to all you twitter users out there! Enjoy.   Tonight, Thursday, March 10th at 9pm ET/6pm PT, Bloomberg will feature a profile of the Twitter co-founders Jack Dorsey, Ev Williams and Biz Stone.  

Twitter can be a volatile place. Most of the time your followers don’t give you an explanation for why the followed you in the first place, and the same holds true for when they stop following you. That can make it hard to know if you’re “doing it right.”
