“140-character status updates to a network of followers.” That makes Twitter sound simple. But in fact, the social information platform has grown to be much more complex than its 140 character-limit suggests. The site not only connects people, but has also become an intricate information resource for everything from news to shopping deals.

Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan has posted a video on TwitVid promoting a tourist swap contest between Jordan and other countries.
The rules of the contest, named Twisit Jordan, are simple: If you’ve never been to Jordan, upload a video to TwitVid saying why you’d like to visit the country, and post it with @queenrania #TwisitJordan. If you live in Jordan, tell Queen Rania why you love your country, again with @queenrania #TwisitJordan.

It’s another round of World Cup Twitter trends, and we’re seeing some interesting stats on how fans are tweeting about their favorite teams, players, and arch rivals.
Similarly to last week’s stats, all of the national teams trended at some point in the past seven days, and 74 players hit Twitter’s top 10. And while some coaches and managers were trending last week, this is the first time that several referees were singled out, mostly with ire from fans over unfavorable calls.

Twitter has just explained the causes of — and remedies for — its multiple and massive failures over the past week.
The high number of errors and generally poor performance were reminiscent of the Great Twitter Outages of the summer of 2009. Once again, this summer’s problem has been one of scale: Twitter is growing so much and so quickly that the engineering team has been challenged when trying to keep up with the sheer volume of data going through the service’s internal network.
What happened that caused this week’s Twitter issues, wrote engineer Jean-Paul Cozzatti, is that the engineering team made three critical mistakes:

Develop The Game, Build A Better Future
The first World Cup took place in 1930 and it has since grown to become an epic global event celebrating diversity and inspiring us to overcome adversity. More importantly, nations and people around the world have the opportunity to connect around something profoundly simple: play! The mission driving FIFA, the governing body behind the World Cup, is to “Develop the game, touch the world, and build a better future.” Good stuff.
The Republic of South Africa will host representatives from thirty two nations as they compete for the ultimate international championship. This will be the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world. Twitter’s rapid international growth means we are part of this global phenomenon as people everywhere seek to discover what’s happening with their favorite team, their favorite players, and breaking news related to this worldwide event.
Using live widgets, real-time search, and Top Tweets (updates that are currently catching the attention of many Twitter users) we’ve put together a special site to capture the spirit of the World Cup and it’s already pulsing with activity. Fans have a unique opportunity to connect with players, teams, and brands using Twitter to join the matches in a new way. We also are providing a list of suggested accounts to follow during the tournament and a World Cup theme for your profile page. We’ll leave it up to you to learn how to do the neat little trick we’re calling hashflags.

TAZPIC was made at Twitter HQ (San Francisco) during their first hackfest for the new Annotation API.
The goal of TAZPIC is to allow you to tag your friends on any picture on Twitter. Whether you want to upload it directly on our service (API coming), or whether you wanna use pictures you already uploaded using other services such as TwitPic (other services coming).
One of the most popular services on Facebook is their Photo Sharing. The ability to tag people is an awesome way to notify your friends if they appear in a picture.
Twitter is lacking this kind of service. It has TwitPic, yFrog, and alike but none of them give you the possibility to tag and notify your friends in such easy way.
The 2010 World Cup is going to be a very interesting one as far as social media goes — it’s the first to be played out in the Twitter era and the first to fully embrace the social media universe.
HOW TO: Follow the 2010 World Cup on Twitter.

Plenty Of Tweeps can be accurately defined as a dating site for Twitterers. Let’s face it, messages that are limited to 140 characters are not necessarily the best framework for knowing others. They might provide an interesting way for breaking the ice, but that’s it. If you want to take it any further, you either change the platform you are using for communicating among yourselves, or you try a site like this one. It will let you create a detailed biography (complete with photographs), and others can then proceed to “Like It” in order to show you they are interested in knowing you better. You can do the same for others, obviously. And private messages can be sent and received effortlessly.
Moreover, the site will empower you to search for single Twitter users based both on age and location. You can look up singles in the city you are located in or search for users in any city of the world in an equally smooth fashion.
Getting started is also something quite simple, as you can log in using your Twitter credentials and have full access to all of the services and functionalities that were just mentioned.

Many people are known to say “Oh, I love Twitter but I just don’t have the time to read my timeline in full”. Well, that is set to become a thing of the past. This service will let you take your timeline and have it read to you. This means that now you can deal with all the tweets that have come into your stream since you last checked it out, since these tweets will be read to you while you are exercising or shopping. You no longer have to sit through a lengthy succession of messages that end up being confusing, and you don’t have to focus in one single task either. It is important to note that this service can also be used for reading tweets that are not within your timeline. That is, if you execute a search you can have the resulting tweets read. This can be useful in a plurality of cases, and the one that I thought of more immediately was letting people who are visually impaired have an idea of what Twitter is all about.

Saif Ali Khan has said that he won’t be using Twitter to talk to his fans.
The social networking site has proved popular with fellow Bollywood celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra and Karan Johar, but the Kurbaan actor said that he won’t be joining them.
He told the Times of India: “I don’t want to share my thoughts. I don’t know what I will say.
“And I personally feel that some distance should be maintained between the audiences and the actor. That’s my personal opinion.”
Twitter has proved controversial, with some directors banning actors from revealing details of plots to their followers. >>> Continue Reading Here

The new official Twitter app for iPhone and iPod touch offers some new search and retweet features over its predecessor Tweetie 2, but it hasn’t completely eliminated the caching problems that some users had been experiencing ever since moving to Tweetie 2 from the original Tweetie 1. The glitch consists of loading up the latest tweets within the app, exiting the app, returning a short time later and finding that the most recently displayed tweets are from hours or days ago, requiring them to be reloaded from scratch. The caching bug only ever appeared to affect a minority of Tweetie 2 users, and then only sporadically. But after spending hands-on time with the new Twitter for iPhone in the days since its release, we’ve been able to confirm that the caching bug is still present – although its sporadic nature has prevented us from confirming whether the problem is happening with the same frequency or has been mitigated (in our case we were glitch-free for the first two days before the caching problem flared up). >>> Continue Reading Here
