The decade in news photographs - The Big Picture - Boston.com - http://www.boston.com/bigpict...
Looking back on the past ten years through news photographs, it becomes clear that it was a dramatic, often brutal decade. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks and wars were by far the most dominant theme. Ten years ago, Bill Clinton was ending his final term in office, very few had ever heard of Osama bin Laden, the Taliban ruled Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein still ruled Iraq - all that and much more has changed in the intervening time. - Taylor

The War For the Web - O'Reilly Radar - http://radar.oreilly.com/2009...
We’re heading into a war for control of the web. And in the end, it’s more than that, it’s a war against the web as an interoperable platform. Instead, we’re facing the prospect of Facebook as the platform, Apple as the platform, Google as the platform, Amazon as the platform, where big companies slug it out until one is king of the hill. - Taylor

Iran's Protests: Why Twitter Is the Medium of the Movement - TIME - http://www.time.com/time...
Microblogging network Twitter is putting off what co-founder Biz Stone described as "a critical network upgrade" in order to remain live and online during the protests in the aftermath of the disputed election in Iran. The U.S. State Department requested Twitter remain online to allow users in Iran to continue posting updates about demonstrations and government response. - Taylor

Zee.
What Twitter client are you using and why?
Twhirl. Multiple accounts. Small screen real estate. Customizable colors/fonts. - Admiral Anika
twhirl, ping.fm support. else I'd switch to something with groups. - rob friedman
are u on a mac rob? - Zee.
Nambu, because I like to access any thread with a single click (sidebar) and I can create custom groups based on searches and followers. Nambu rocks :) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
TweetDeck - I like the groups feature. The interface & tools (including filtering) are intuitive. I used to like Twhirl, but TweetDeck's group feature won me over. For now. - phil baumann
Leandro, you can add searches to groups too on Nambu? How? - Zee.
I've tried twhirl and tweetdeck but I much prefer using the site. On the Blackberry I'm now using Ubertwitter. Liking it better than Twitterberry. - ♥patricia♥
I use Tweetdeck for my company's account, because of the groups and search features. Twitterfox at work for my personal account, because it's tiny and inobtrusive. At home, I think I'll probably be using Tweetie most since the latest version fixed my issues with notifications and RT syntax, but I still have Seesmic Desktop and Twhirl around for good measure. On the iPhone, Tweetie. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
@zee ya - rob friedman
@rob there are so many really easy way to post to ping.fm, surely that cant be the only reason your sticking with Twhirl? - Zee.
Tweetdeck - mainly for the same reasons phil mentioned. - Taylor
shrug, the message routing worked easiest. So I can still use SMS to ping.fm if i'm out. ideally i'd just like my client to ping.fm then have them push it out. - rob friedman
Zee, search to groups is possible using the Filter box. see my list of features: http://tr.im/kB69 - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
Tweetie! [Oh, why - multiple accounts, simplicity (yet still does search, url shortening and retweet). iPhone version previews links and sends to instapaper, which I find indispensable. Both mac and iphone.] - Eric Johnson
looking Leandro, but say i search for "sheep" how to add that to my "animals" group? - Zee.
Ping.fm ..oh and Tiny Twitter on my Blackberry. - Candace
well simply add a search box, like those mines "fibertel" and "friendfeed" both are searches to the public timeline - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
FriendFeed - Louis Simoneau
oh but you can't actually add them to the group like u would a person - Zee.
@Zee make imaginary friends with your own custom feed searches and then dump them into friendlists. - rob friedman
you mean on FF yeah? - Zee.
you mean, add the search to an existing group like persons.. hmm no.. But anyway searches are permanent until you remove them.. On twitter.. Nambu is Twitter only at the moment - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
well its either make imaginary friends or pollute the namespace with rooms for your stuff - rob friedman
@Leandro have you checked out the bleeding edge version of EventBox? - Zee.
I like Tweetdeck, but I'm more of Twirl user. - Helen Sventitsky
@Zee I've tried it long time ago, I think first released version, did they improved it? - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
TweetDeck. Works on Win 7 and Linux. Like the layout. Use UberTwitter on the Blackberry though, way faster than TwitterBerry. - Ian May
TweetDeck - Bryan Vartabedian
tweetie. multiple accounts, nice look, simplicity. Before that it was Nambu. And before that, Tweetdeck. I may go back. :) - Eugene Huo
wow, i'm surprised no one has said eventbox yet and even more surprised no one has mentioned seesmic desktop - Zee.
Tweetdeck, mainly, but Seesmic Desktop, despite its faults (like reflowing for no reason, and screwing it up), is growing on me. Mainly because it has multiple account support. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
twitter.com, Tweetie for iPhone. Have tried Tweetdeck, don't like it. - Kevin Matheny
I mentioned Seesmic Desktop! Uh, to say I wasn't using it... But whatever. Actually, I like Seesmic, but I want to see more support for more services in it before I use it a lot. For just Twitter, I like the other clients better. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
ah I forget to mention Tweetie on my iPhone - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
mostly gwibber on ubuntu - Warren Butler
TwitVim + Friendfeed. I'm biased because I wrote TwitVim but I also post some @replies from FF. - Morton Fox
Leandro, try eventbox bleeding edge version - it has smart folders which let you combine twitterers, twitter searches, rss feeds, friends from facebook and more. It really is the ultimate "grouping" i've come across. The downside...if you follow a lot of people and have a lot of rss feeds, you get the spinning wheel a lot...they're working on fixing that though - Zee.
Tweetdeck for reasons mentioned, as well as the ability to add a column for search. UI seems more intuitive. - jcunwired
@Zee I've just tried it.. But I found it very noisy. I've my Facebook + Twitter + Flickr accounts and received a lot of notifications. Anyway I'll give a try tomorrow and tell you. Thanks - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM
The Air clients I've tried -- Twirl, etc, just don't handle well enough for me. No drag & drop, strange paste from the clipboard. They're so glaringly not mac apps. As a dev, I understand why co's do them, but, as a user, too many compromises -- especially when the Tweeties & Twitteriffics are out there. Anybody else feel this way? Or am I just one of those fussy mac users :)? - Eric Johnson
i'm with you 100% Eric - Zee.
PeopleBrowsr on the desktop - way more powerful than Tweetdeck or Seesmic. More networks(Facebook, FriendFeed, identi.ca Youtube, digg, more), better search, Twitter DM via email, extended profiles, in-line thread viewing, more stacks(columns) Available as Browser app OR AIR. On the mobile (nokia 6085 j2me phone) jibjib. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Twhirl, definitely - MySoftChoice.com
Wow, Rob....does it have a Mac version of the desktop? - Mark Traphagen
not terribly fond of the desktop clients really like Tweetie enjoying Tweetstack more and more - Patrick Boegel
@guruvan i really tried to get to grips with PeopleBrowser but my GOD does it need work on it's UI. It was genuinely painful to look at - Zee.
and does people browser do multiple accounts? I'm using Seesmic "preview" right now because of that. - Mark Traphagen
twitterfox or tweetdeck - Phillip Miller
i am using twhirl i love twhirl not a fan of tweetdeck i kinda like the seesmic desktop but still twhirl is my drug of choice (cus it does have the FF access in it) - Angela P.
I understand the Beta will do that [multiple accounts] Mark: And Mac version? It's AIR or in your browser...platform agnostic - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Zee: I've made some suggestion to the devs about the business about it. and changing the default colors REALLY helps. It's a really complicated application and has a learning curve, but IMO well worth it - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Also Peoplebrowsr is supposed to be coming with a Lite version (which I haven't tried yet) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Tweetie mobile and desktop - Drew Lucas from BuddyFeed
I'm back and forth between Tweetdeck and Seesmic Desktop, but I keep going back to PowerTwitter. I like seeing where the links are headed. And I like seeing the vids previews and the pix without going to a link. - Bryan R. Adams
TweetDeck right now. Was using Twhirl, then decided to give TweetDeck a try. I like the Facebook integration on TweetDeck and the larger layout on the laptop. Twhirl was a bit small. However, i liked the search and search alerts better on twhirl. TweetDeck after three screens, falls off the page. Loaded SeesmicDesktop today, so that's next. Tweetie on the iPhone does it for me. TweetShrnk and bit.ly features also nice on TweetDeck - Mike Lizun
tweetie - why: see the comments at http://www.apptism.com/apps... by John Gruber and Alex Payne - Kishore Balakrishnan
iTweet http://itweet.net/web. I don't use desktop client for Twitter. - LouCypher
At the moment, Tweetie on laptop and iPhone. Nice improvements in latest update. Very stable. - Kenley Neufeld
Friendfeed. - Ryan Dadey
Digsby and FriendFeed - Kevin Kuphal
Tweetie on iPhone and Mac. I tried Eventbox but didn't like it because it was built more like an RSS reader and I only want to see twitter updates. I've tried twhirl and seesmic desktop, but I prefer tweetie because it's native. (still don't understand why twhirl has seesmic support but seesmic desktop doesn't) - Aaron Hood from BuddyFeed
Since tweetie/mac is out i find myself launching it, mainly since it helps me follow the conversations easily, ah yeah and it's UI is amazing and compensate for several features it misses and twitter is not enough i want my FB as well as FF in the same client. EventBox & Nambu are two other apps i play with, Nambu looks like having a very good potential (they should invest little bit... more... - Naor Mark
Twitterfon and OG web UI. lolll! - Mona Nomura
DestroyTwitter on AIR and Twitterfon on iPhone. DestroyTwitter is a nice and clean looking Twitter client which I like just a little better than TweetDeck. Twitterfon is a free Twitter client for the iPhone. It's at least just as good as Tweetie. - Rutger Blom
FriendFeed - webbased and I can maintain lists - Alexander Benker
Tweestvisor, though I'd like to have it in an app so I can use it like a sidebar. Some features still missing but it's easily the best one to create groups with. TweetDeck is awful at this. I've not really tried Seesmic Desktop much but it's looks pretty atm. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Tweetdeck - Roberto Bonini
DestroyTwitter - @name autocomplete (my fav), Regex search, multicolumn, fast, groups, smooth transitions, multiple image host support, great UI, posterous support, tweetshrink support, etc, etc - vijay
Twitterific on the Mac, best usability IMO. TwitterGadget embedded into iGoogle on Windows, Twitter is blocked. - Parth Awasthi
Tweetdeck, Twitter.com, SocialToo and checking Seesmic Desktop out right now ;) - Nicholas James
The website, because that's how I control how much time I spend on Twitter / Friendfeed / etc. - Vincent van Wylick
Twitterrific / Tweetie for OS X. Twitterfon iPhone (untill the new V2 Twitterrific update comes out) Twitterfox on work PC. - Simon Wicks
Tweetie on my iPhone, Twitterfall on my Mac. - Jalada
tweetdeck for organisation, ubiquity for quick posts - Mark Edmondson
Tweetvisor multi accounts/groups/twitpic/feed reader saves my searches into hot topic real time option the best i have found so far and i use twitterfox for pop up feature when away from Tweetvisor - eric
Seesmic Desktop. If I had to pick one reason, it would be the support for multiple accounts. - Herb Hernandez
Tweetie on Mac and TwitterFox on Linux. - Ninh Nguyen
dabr.co.uk on desktop and mobile - sjjh
Nambu for most of the day, Tweetie after I've had a glass of wine in the evening.. - Swing Out Sister
Nambu on iPhone, Tweetie free on Mac. - Ernie Oporto from Nambu
tweetdeck - clarke thomas
To quote my Tech deprived wife. Whats this twitter thing people are going on about all the time? - Tony C from fftogo
FriendFeed - LarchOye
Eventbox on Mac. I'm hoping that Eventbox will bring Friendfeed as soon as possible - Waldemar Schott
i asked Waldemar, he said no plans yet - Zee.
Twitter.com I don't know anything else. - James Ferguson
On the web only twitter.com, on mobile, twikini, looks cool on my HTC HD ;-) - Nacho
Seesmic Desktop - Carlos Granier-Phelps
twitter.com and/or 1 of following: twhirl, tweetdeck, tweetgrid - Tony C
Twhirl- because Tweetdeck gives me a headache. - © b e e n s w a n k
Tweetdeck and Tweetie for the same reasons others have mentioned. - Carmen
Look at http://thecosmicmachine.com/eventbo... for the Eventbox Roadmap. They say, that FriendFeed support "might or might not" be part of Eventbox. - Waldemar Schott
yeah, shame. He said that digg and identi.ca are coming soon. And full facebook integration is a couple of months away - Zee.
Digg will come back in Eventbox, 'cause Digg have allowed it - Waldemar Schott
Twhirl. I have 2 Twitter accounts. I also like the ease with which I can do things like reply, retweet, etc. Plus, it's a nice small footprint on my screen. - Tim Chemacki
Twicker. - Stephen
Twidroid. - Steven Perez
TweetDeck and Seesmic Desktop (cause I like to mess with new stuff and dig Twitscoop trending integrated in TweetDeck) - Charlie Anzman
Tweetie. It's smooth and not the screen real estate and resource hog that TweetDeck is. - Kevin Pedraja
Tweetdeck and Twitterberry. Love Tweetdeck for the searches and I don't think I have much choice when it comes to Twitterberry. - Owen
Tweetdeck until last week and now trying Seesmic and liking it for the Facebook integration. On WM I use mostly PockeTwit - the latest version is very slick. - Philip Ferris
Right now I'm concentrating on learning to manage FriendFeed (creating lists, folders, setting up GMail to intergrate w/FF, etc....). Checking Twitter and Facebook on site to make sure I don't miss anyone's communications. Would love to have everything integrated (blog, website, reader, StumbleUpon,FF, Facebook, Twitter, etc.. AND email all on one feed) Dreaming? - Molly
@Molly, no you shouldn't be (dreaming that is)...Lets just hope Friendfeed adds features so it can become property twitter client in itself. We need retweeting, (optional) posting without links back to friendfeed and (optional) hiding of all @replies...that should really do it. - Zee.
just the website, the twitter via IM stopped working a while ago and i have yet to find a client that i like.... - denise
Seesmic Desktop, multi accts, facebook feed. - adolfo foronda
tweetdeck & friendfeed - browneyes
I know I won't win this argument, but FF is not a Twitter client. FF does much more than that. If anything, Twitter is a FF client. And I use Tweetdeck BTW - Fleagle
DestroyTwitter it has an easy to use interface, groups, search, 3 column or single column interface. A lot of great preferences. - Frisley Velasquez
@Fleagle - Twitter dated themselves from the get-go. I can't (and won't) be limited to 140 characters. I do not like that responses/replies just seem to randomly show up (instead of being tied to their original conversation). As someone that's been an IRC addict for nearly 15 years, seeing something like twitter is just weak. Both twitter and FriendFeed are (in my opinion) very, VERY... more... - LarchOye
Tweetie-- support for multiple accounts, and it's really fast. - Kevin Gamble
Twhirl. But keep an eye out for Statuzer. A couple of features still missing there, but when they're added, I'll probably switch. - Vlad Bobleanta
Twhirl...tweetdeck was it for awhile, but I came back to Twhirl - Derek
tweetdeck. love having the groups - (jeff)isageek
Digsby, because it integrates with Facebook/Facebook Chat, MySpace and LinkedIn and FF via Google Chat, among a myriad other things - LANjackal
tweetdeck - groups, twitscoop, facebook friends, and it's just easy - John G
FriendFeed - web based, groups, Likes/comments - Hutch Carpenter
I was using TweetDeck, but now I'm using Seesmic Desktop. I like the new Facebook features. Plus, the passion and energy @loic brings to the project makes me want to support it. - Alexander Grundner
What Twitter client? FriendFeed! ;-)) TweetDeck. Gonna try Seesmic desktop soon - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Tweetdeck because of Facebook integration and search. I like the additional columns for particular search topics. However, lately, I've been mostly using FriendFeed... - mark
Twhirl and twitterfox - María A.
