How can you be a "Social Media Strategist,Online Community Builder" like it says on your profile? Clearly, you are a Tweeter who megaphones w/out participating in convo. since Iran and the green profiles have been the biggest buzz on Twitter for only the oooooh past five days? Social Media "strategist" FAIL.
- Mona Nomura
Mona- I missed it bottom line. I was offline last two days. I make mistakes and cant keep up with everything. But yes...Fail..
- Dave Peck
Offline? What is this offline you speak of, Dave? Social Networking is a full time job! ;)
- Mona Nomura
Interesting new features, he says, are like what Disqus are using, to do an automatic login via OAuth to comment on a blog with single sign on. "That's just the beginning." Twitter wants to be the leader in portable identity.
- Robert Scoble
Streaming API. It doesn't make sense for third parties to poll Twitter. Old way "do you have new data?" New way: get access to the firehose stream.
- Robert Scoble
Heh, Hello Iain, nice to see you around here :)
- Simon Wicks
Iain: I'll be in London in early July. Want to meet up there?
- Robert Scoble
Streaming API that pushes rather than making tools poll constantly is coming.
- Andru Edwards
OAuth. Expect more. "OAuth is our investment in ending what experts are calling the password antipattern."
- Robert Scoble
very good to be here - been neglecting FF, but that will change shortly
- Iain Dodsworth
Oh yeah? Is that a hint at something new?
- Simon Wicks
Robert - definitely on for early July - just let me know, I have SOOO much to discuss :) we may have been quiet over here at TweetDeck...
- Iain Dodsworth
Iain, cool. Can't wait to see what you do with TweetDeck.
- Robert Scoble
Better support is where Twitter is focusing most of its efforts.
- Robert Scoble
Robert - email or DM best way to stay in touch?
- Iain Dodsworth
Friendfeed DM. Email scobleizer@gmail.com is probably best, though, cause I'd like to get others involved as well
- Robert Scoble
Cool - I'll leave you to it - enjoying the live blogging
- Iain Dodsworth
"Your personal identity leader" lacks a little when compared to "What are you doing?"
- Todd Hoff
Slide now? "More consistent." He says that there's inconcistencies between data sets they are providing to various developers that they are going to be fixing.
- Robert Scoble
Next slide? "More transparent." "If we have data, if we have statistics, if we have numbers interesting to the community we will be there."
- Robert Scoble
heading to the Qik office -- thanks for the updates, Robert!
- Michael Fortson
He is pitching a developer's bill of rights. Interesting.
- Robert Scoble
They want to be very clear in future with a "bill of rights" that will tell developers what to expect in future from Twitter's API.
- Robert Scoble
Summary of Future from @al3x: streaming api, OAuth, better support, more consistent, more transparent
- warren sukernek
Warren: thanks, couldn't have said it better myself!
- Robert Scoble
API default going to be bumped from 100!
- Dave Peck
Q&A: Will there be changes to the number of times a developer can hit the API? Answer: Limit is currently 100 per hour, and that will be bumped up.
- Andru Edwards
I asked him the Jesse Stay question: will they give developers more access to the API (more requests per IP address). He said "yes."
- Robert Scoble
Will devs be able to purchase premium levels of API usage to pass onto users of their apps?
- Iain Dodsworth
Will the stream API be part of the existing REST API or a separate socket connection-type implementation?
- Bryan Bartow
He answered: Thus far we are still a small company with limited resources so we ha've decided to focus on consumer focused monetization strategies.
- Robert Scoble
nicefishfilms - i'd pay a lot :) and could offer many new services which are currently unfeasible
- Iain Dodsworth
Iain: What would be the first feature/added service you would add if you had unlimited API calls?
- Mike Bracco
Iain- your growth has proven you're on the right 'track' i would support a super version from you.
- michael sean wright
Sounds like this #140tc conference will be big on Twitter relevant announcements, Scoble is FriendFeed-casting it here ->
- Alex Schleber
Mike: would love to tell you but we're unfortunately now in the position where we have to protect our roadmap - which is a shame
- Iain Dodsworth
nicefishfilms: thanks for the support :)
- Iain Dodsworth
Robert: can you ask about twitter meme tracker ? Do they have an opinion on discovery vs. search ?
- twitscoop
Iain: Gotcha :) Figured you might answer with that but I totally understand. Love your product (and the icon change a little while back :).
- Mike Bracco
Do you think Alex can speak to other things regarding twitter other then development? Like how companies can get their brand name on Twitter vs squatters, etc..
- Dave Peck
Iain: I'm in marketing/branding and wonder how you guys think about your brand - In that you now offer Facebook support and I'm sure a bunch of other things down the line. Are you concerned that TweetDeck might be too limiting or do you believe that it's similar to the iTunes brand where everyone knows that iTunes is more than just music.
- Mike Bracco
Dave: he said that he's there to talk about the API parts of Twitter and will defer other questions to other people.
- Robert Scoble
twitscoop: I'll try, but I've already asked too many questions.
- Robert Scoble
As long as the questions are meaningful, I don't think they won't allow you to ask ;) Thanks for trying!
- twitscoop
Someone asked about what effect the Oprah effect has had on Twitter's team. They said they had to focus more on scaling out social graphs to big users.
- Robert Scoble
People asked about metadata, especially when it comes to location. They said they just hired a person to do exactly that. Sounds like they are worried about Twinkle.
- Robert Scoble
Mike: we should move this conversation to another place
- Iain Dodsworth
He also made it clear that they are looking at adding other types of metadata to Twitter as well. Sounds like they are about to get serious about search. That makes a fundamental change in strategy, too.
- Robert Scoble

Robert, bit.ly is now the url short'ner of choice for Twitter, bit.ly is using Calais to extract smart data, thoughts?
- michael sean wright
who do twitter want to buy! any acquisition potential out there and why?
- Nigel Walsh
any plans to connect to other messaging platforms, eg Skype, MSN etc and become THE UC platform
- Nigel Walsh
Iain: Ok, posted on FF http://bit.ly/QgqaI but no need to respond - I'm sure your busy following this stream.
- Mike Bracco
Someone packing dSLR heat. Alex's presentation was great. next time bring a 300mm so you can stay seated LOL
- Jim Goldstein
nicefishfilms: I don't have too many thoughts about the tiny URL folks. I am worried about the amount of power that we are giving them. The web works best when it's decentralized and everytime we choose to centralize again nasty stuff happens (look at Feedburner, for instance, and how it slowed everyone's feeds down for a while).
- Robert Scoble
nicefishfilms: There was an interesting discussion about these services yesterday on this FF thread - http://bit.ly/iEOh2
- Mike Bracco
Robert- agree, am interested in the extraction in a split-second of what the that url points to (the meaning of the article.) Perhaps we'll see better clustering of info based on Calais. Could see a FriendFeed room set up to catch the bit.ly data.
- michael sean wright
Jim: I'll have a 600mm F4.0 here this afternoon. :-)
- Robert Scoble
nicefilms or Scoble: do you know of any services that give you that "split second" meaning but for twitter trends? I subscribe via RSS to http://www.whatthetrend.com/ because it's the only service I have found that gives you a human definition of the trend and not just tweets that mention the trend.
- Mike Bracco
Ask him when I'll be able to retrieve all of Britney Spears followers without it erroring out :)
- Jesse Stay
@ Mike - don't know if that exists yet... but would point you to http://opencalais.com and look for the semantic proxy. seems to be the closest. What i'm looking for is that real-time 'meaning' extraction organized, curated in a visually compelling way. (we can dream right?)
- michael sean wright
I love seeing Iain here - one of my favorite developers. :-) Thanks for asking the premium API option - we all want it. I don't get why they can't provide it.
- Jesse Stay
I wish I was here earlier - I have so many questions for them. :)
- Jesse Stay
Hey Jesse, with you on that - let me pay for unlimited API access for the user (whilst retaining the inherent filtering the API provides) and we'll deliver some of our "dream" functionality :)

Search google for "xefer" and click on "projects" to see when a person tweets everyday. It's a Twitter API and Yahoo! Pipes mashup. The "When people sleep" utility.

except that you do a US only list it is a nice list. would it really be asked too much to at least recognize that for example linkedin does not rule the world and write "join the leading biz network, like for example linkedin"?
- Nicole Simon
Holy crap, Chris! This is great stuff! Would you say personal branding is for anyone, or more for people who have something to sell through their online persona (a product, service, or opinion)?

thanks Chris - what a great resource - wil be sending this to all my staff - if only they will DO IT! :)
