Twitter Moves To Monetize Mobile -
Promoted Tweets — read: ads — are coming to the Twitter mobile client streams. I suspect the initial reaction will be: “Great! Another reason to use TweetBot!”
But I actually don’t view this as a negative thing. Twitter is a service that many of us use and love for hours on end every single day. It’s a great service. But like any great service, if it’s to stick around, it needs to make money. I don’t begrudge them trying to do that.
They’ve been experimenting with various ways to do this, and apparently the Promoted Suite of products is working well enough that they’re now expanding it to the mobile experiences. In fact, a Promoted Tweet was the most retweeted Tweet last year.
It’s interesting that Twitter only gets paid when a user takes an action (retweet, reply, etc) on these Tweets. In other words, they’re cost-per-action not cost-per-impression. Again, a good choice because it will naturally lead to higher quality Tweet Ads (or retweet-bait, I suppose).
And hey, at least it’s not the DickBar.

Jalur komunikasi dulu dan sekarang -
Media sosial memang telah mengubah cara orang berkomunikasi. Dulu satu individu bercakap-cakap dengan satu individu. Sekarang individu berkomunikasi dengan khalayak atau sebaliknya.

Sekarang ada account @twitter_id yang semi resmi -
Congratulations, Twitter translators!
Sekarang Twitter sudah tersedia dalam bahasa Indonesia. Proyek penerjemahan Twitter tidak terbatas kepada situs twitter.com namun segala hal yang berhubungan dengan penggunaan Twitter, termasuk aplikasi untuk iPhone, iPad, dan Android. Twitter untuk BlackBerry tidak termasuk di dalam proyek ini karena memang tidak dikembangkan oleh Twitter.
Akun @twitter_id diciptakan oleh Twitter dan dikelola oleh para moderator untuk kelompok penerjemah Twitter. Fungsinya adalah mengirimkan pengumuman resmi dari @twitter dalam bahasa Indonesia dan memberitahukan kabar mengenai kegiatan-kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan Twitter di Indonesia. Kalau mau tahu lebih jauh tentang @twitter_id, silakan bertanya langsung kepada pengelolanya.
Siapa saja pengelola akun @twitter_id? Mereka adalah @adhimatera, @lowrobb,@pdh90, @prayudisatriyo, dan @rodin.
Dari kemarin Timeline heboh lagi eh heboh ngga ya?
anyway, ya seperti ada keriaan baru kalo ada sesuatu yang baru
Ibaratnya kayak ada kafe baru buka terus kita rame-rame datang coba
Didalam kafenya sih ketemunya itu-itu lagi dan bertanya
“eh si @anu udah ada, halo semua” cipika cipiki virtual.
Terus masing-masing berkomentar sana sini
bagusnya, kurangnya, asiknya, serunya, bisa ini bisa itu…
Iya bener, Kafenya namanya Google+
Terus lucunya si @natalixia nge post foto

Eh Drama ya gapapa kan kalo makin ada drama film makin seru

Dan sejenak jadi mikir, Wah jauh jauh ke kafe baru plus plus tapi ternyata

Keluar dari Keramaian
Banyak cara mencari pelarian dari Timeline yang ramai
tapi setuju ngga kalo kadang itu hanya buat ‘sementara’?
Ngga berapa lama juga kembali ke akun utama?
Ternyata didalam dunia maya juga perlu dunia maya alias pelarian ya?
Kenapa segitunya perlu pelarian?
Ada yang hanya jago kandang baik dari curhat sampai komen politik.
Ibaratnya kayak lari kenceng-kenceng keujung jurang terus teriak
“Wuaaaaannnnjeeeeeeeng!” abis itu ga berani lompat…eh balik deh..
alias balik ke akun utama.
Bener ngga?
Kemanapun kita pergi pasti ujung mata masih saja melirik ke Twitter.
Pesonanya masih saja ada, Halah banget.

Twitter changed how applications are authorized to access its services back in May and this means that most apps and services will no longer be able to access your direct messages from June 30.
Twitter is doing this because there are thousands of apps within the Twitter ecosystem and the majority have no need to access direct messages. These include a number of services or apps such as Klout, Instagram, Foursquare, LinkedIn, Lockerz, Twitpic, YFrog, Tumblr, Posterous, WordPress, and just about every other app that lets you cross post content to Twitter without actually acting as a Twitter client the way Twitter’s own apps do.
Third party applications such as Tweetbot, Twitterrific, Seesmic, Hootsuite, Osfoora, Destroy Twitter, Twicca, SocialScope and many others are actual clients that let you access Twitter just as you would on its website or the official apps but with additional features, and these apps require access to your direct message so you can read or send them.
From June 30, you will no longer be able to send or receive direct messages using these apps because of the way Twitter changed its access permissions and terms of service unless the developers of these apps have updated their respective apps to comply with its new terms.
If you find yourselves locked out of your direct message from June 30 while using a non-official Twitter app, check if there’s an update and quickly update your app. Otherwise you’ll need to use Twitter’s official applications for your device.
Twitter has official apps for Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Phone 7. TweetDeck is also an official Twitter application.
