Are The Fortune 100 Now Beginning To Embrace Social Media Tools?

Are The Fortune 100 Now Beginning To Embrace Social Media Tools?

By admin on February 25, 2010

Google Buzz

A study by Burson-Marsteller finds that 79 percent of the largest 100 companies in the Fortune Global 500 index are using social media tools.

At first glance, this may seem significant. But a closer look shows that Fortune 100 companies are showing interest but nothing to prove that social media tools are gaining significant corporate acceptance. Here’s a copy of the full report and an accompanying power point presentation

But it is early in the game and these are results show that social media tools are making credible gains …

Twitter's Open Engineering Initiative Gets Official Launch

Twitter’s Open Engineering Initiative Gets Official Launch

By admin on February 23, 2010

Google Buzz

For the past couple weeks, we’ve been following some interesting developments with Twitter – things that most end users probably would not know or care about.

As we suspected, the quickly-growing company is putting more emphasis on engineering, taking “steps… to make our engineering division more open and transparent,” according to the team’s infrastructure manager, Evan Weaver. “Much of Twitter’s success has been enabled by open-source software, and we want to give back,” he continues. And there’s a lot of giving back going on, from a new blog to new recruiting efforts.

Read on, and let us know your opinions in the comments …

Dalai Lama Joins Twitter - This Time It's Verified

Dalai Lama Joins Twitter – This Time It’s Verified

By admin on February 22, 2010

Google Buzz

Twitter founder Evan Williams posted a message yesterday that was easy to misunderstand: “Met the Dalai Lama today in LA. Pitched him on using Twitter. He laughed.”

Some one had already set up the account @DalaiLama though, one week before Williams met with the religious leader. Five hours after the seemingly dismissive tweet, the @DalaiLama account was listed as confirmed authentic and began publishing messages. This almost exactly one year after a hoax account (@OHHDL The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama ) got 16,000 followers in one weekend before being declared a fake and shut down by Twitter Head Quarters. Just welcomed to the site moments ago by Twitter’s new VP of Communications Sean Garret, @DalaiLama appears to be real …

Can You Get Paid to Tweet?

Can You Get Paid to Tweet?

By admin on February 16, 2010

Google Buzz

You can get paid to tweet. Average, non-celebrity users are making some decent pocket change using Twitter ad services like Twittad, Magpie, Sponsored Tweets, and Ad.ly. And while reports of $10,000 tweets abound, average users are pulling in much smaller amounts, usually three figures at most.

But aren’t these programs rewarding scam artists who boost their follower count through artificial means or sneak in ads that look like regular tweets? Surprisingly, for the most part, the answer is no …

By admin on February 8, 2010

Google Buzz

Are you suspicious of those sexy avatars and “marketingbizpro” accounts following you on Twitter, but don’t have the time or inclination to block and report them one by one as they pop up?

We’ve just found a new, completely free app that will zap those bots and bad users in just one click. It’s fully customizable, so you can tell the blocker what you personally consider to be a spam account. And you can choose to simply unfollow those users, block them or report the accounts to Twitter, as well – again, all with just one click. StopTweet is definitely one of the more useful apps we’ve seen lately, and it also helps us all do our part to clean up the Twitter universe.

We just tried it on an account and caught around 50 spam followers; pretty exciting, no? …

Security Flaw found in Twitter's Flash Widget

Security Flaw found in Twitter’s Flash Widget

By admin on January 25, 2010

Google Buzz

A recently discovered security flaw in Twitter’s Flash-based website widget may have allowed attackers access to the login credentials of any Twitter user. According to Mike Bailey, an analyst at Foreground Security, the problem involves a known vulnerability in Adobe’s Flash programming language, the language used to code the Twitter widget. In response, Twitter has disabled the widget in question while they research the issue further.

Oddly enough, the vulnerability in question was initially discovered back in 2006, but many website operators have yet to address it says Bailey, according to a Reuters UK news story about the potential Twitter security hole. After analyzing Twitter’s website, Bailey says the site may have been open to attack from hackers attempting to exploit this particular security hole for over a year.
