Twitter – Locating Frankenstein's Brain

reBlog from Pete: Confirmed: Digg Just Hijacked Your Twitter Links

I found this fascinating quote today:

In short, Digg has broken the trust relationship with its publishers and users. They might not be hurting, however, since the use of Diggbar links significantly increased the amount of traffic to their site. Now that they’re driving a bunch more traffic from thousands of hijacked URLs, they’ll experience a veritable traffic bonanza at the expense of users and publishers.Pete, Confirmed: Digg Just Hijacked Your Twitter Links, Jul 2009

ReadWriteWeb: Twitter Topic Trackers (try saying THAT 3 times fast! ^_^)

I found this fascinating quote today:

For a service that simply takes 140 characters of input and then blasts them out in front of potentially hundreds of thousands of readers at a time, there has been a lot of work by people and businesses to figure out the best way to re-interpret and re-group Twitter posts in to meaningful categories, trends and threads.readwriteweb, ReadWriteWeb, Apr 2009

Tweet-a-Watt kits are now available! A few months ago, using “off-the-shelf hardware”, we modified a Kill-a-Watt(TM) power meter to “tweet” (publish wirelessly) the daily KWH consumed to the user’s Twitter account (Cumulative Killowatt-hours). We released this project as an “Open source hardware” project – in other words, anyone can make these, modify them and make a commercial product from the ideas and methods.

It’s open source, make your own here:
