Awesome Techs

There are many different ways to reach a large number of followers on Twitter, but this blog post will only discuss one of them, which just so happens to be the easiest in my opinion. A bunch of Twitter users choose to follow each and every one of their followers back. That means following them will guarantee that you will receive a follower in return. Luckily for us, some people have created big lists of people on Twitter that follow everyone back. Follow everyone on those lists, and you’ll likely get a bunch of new followers in return. Of course, this method is not for you unless you don’t mind your timeline being flooded with tweets you don’t care about. In this blog post, I will compile a list of lists that contain users that follow everyone back.

I must warn you before you get started that you should only follow arpund 100-200 new people everyday. Trying to follow over 1000 people in a short period of time might get your account banned. However, if you follow a couple hundred each day, within a week, you will have over 1000 followers. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your account if you don’t listen to this warning.

A Twitter argument allegedly resulted in murder last month, and New York police may subpoena Tweets as evidence in the case, according to a newspaper report.

The NY Daily News writes:

It started as a simple Twitter beef, 140-character spurts of anger by two young men who grew up together.

Hours before the shooting, Dancy may have taunted Blake with a tweet: “N—–s is lookin for u don’t think I won’t give up ya address for a price betta chill asap!” … Blake’s Twitter account is also full of online disses, though only one tweet mentions Dancy by name: “R.I.P. Kwame” on Dec.3.

A police source said the messages may be subpoenaed to bolster the theory that there was bad blood between the two old pals.

There are some pictures of unboxing of Google’s long awaited mobile the Nexux One which is also known as Google Phone. Somebody tweeted some pics of unboxing along with a quite nice video.

Recently Google launched its own URL Shortening Service “goo.le” .Now it gives youtube also another URL Shortening Service. The domain is “youtu.be”.

To use youtu.be manually, simply take a URL like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdeioVndUhs and replace the “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=” with “http://youtu.be/” to get: http://youtu.be/FdeioVndUhs Plug that shorter URL into a browser, and you’ll see it redirects to that video.

The shortener is exclusive to YouTube links (no surprise, less spam). Its primary function is to share YouTube videos and channels with friends, mostly through YouTube’s AutoShare feature, which syndicates your activity on YouTube to Twitter (Twitter), Facebook (Facebook), and elsewhere.

A group calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army temporarily took down the microblogging service Twitter.
The users who visited twitter got redirecte o the attackers website where it displayed “This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army.”

Twitter admitted that “its Domain Name Systems’ records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed. The site says it will update with more details once we’ve investigated more fully.”

Moments after we heard reports of Facebook’s new URL shortener, Google launched its own service, aptly called goo.gl.

People share a lot of links online. This is particularly true as microblogging services such as Twitter have grown in popularity. If you’re not familiar with them, URL shorteners basically squeeze a long URL into fewer characters to make it easier to share with others. With character limits in tweets, status updates and other modes of short form publishing, a shorter URL leaves more room to say what’s on your mind — and that’s why people use them.

Google URL shortener is not a stand-alone service; you can’t use it to shorten links directly. Currently, Google URL Shortener is only available from the Google Toolbar and FeedBurner. If the service proves useful, we may eventually make it available for a wider audience in the future.

Facebook recently began automatically shortening URLs that appear in its mobile interface. So, instead of text link to a Facebook photo appear as http://m.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=35877484&id=1310743&l=a373e8038d, you might see it see as http://fb.me/3Bkj7CW, as Polaris Ventures’ Ryan Spoon noticed (see his screenshot, below).

Fb.me also works as a substitute for any other Facebook page. So if you can write http://fb.me/starbucks instead of http://www.facebook.com/starbucks, as blogger Saad Kamal points out, meaning brands with Pages can more easily do things like share links to Facebook on Twitter.

Of course both Facebook and Google’s venture into this space will threaten bit.ly, the most widely-used URL shortener and default service on Twitter and many Twitter clients. Up until now, bit.ly has moved quickly to become the standard shortener. But the sheer volume of short links which both Facebook and Google can produce could soon overwhelm the number of bit.ly links. It’s the data behind the links, however, which is valuable. Whoever can gather the most unified view of all shortened links will end up winning.
