bandwidth (tecznotes)
Twitter allows you send 140 characters in a tweet, which (when you add entities, hashtags, and all that) ends up in the 4KB range as represented in the JSON API. 140 is what you see, so I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that a single tweet page on Twitter has about a 15,000-to-one ratio of garbage to content.

TweetSavr - View Tweet Conversations
This is a little app to let you view a twitter conversation in one place and permalink it for the future.

It intentionally doesn't do much. Give it the last tweet id in a conversation and it walks up the tree figuring out the conversation, then saves that for the future.

iPad App concept based on a fluid layout | Moritz Haarmann's Blog
I’m going to discuss briefly a concept idea i had recently, replacing full-screen view controllers with a .. fluid layout. Just look at the video first to get an idea of what I’m talking about. Keep in mind that this is in no way a finished/polished app ( and probably will never be one, considering trademarks and stuff ).

The Twitter Trap - NYTimes.com

Blogging Drift — Matt Mullenweg
The New York Times has a pretty prominent article today called Blogs Wane as the Young Drift to Sites Like Twitter. The title was probably written by an editor, not the author, because as soon as the article gets past the two token teenagers who tumble and Facebook instead of blogging, the stats show all the major blogging services growing — even Blogger whose global “unique visitors rose 9 percent, to 323 million,” meaning it grew about 6 Foursquares last year alone. (In the same timeframe WordPress.com grew about 80 million uniques according to Quantcast.)

OAuth Will Murder Your Children
If you’re creating an app, you should only request the absolute bare minimum of what’s necessary. If Twitter wised up and started adding access selection, you should code around the prospect that your app may not receive everything under the sun. It may not be as convenient for you, but it’s just another programming problem to deal with.

apophenia: Twitter: "pointless babble" or peripheral awareness + social grooming?
Studies like this one by Pear Analytics drive me batty. They concluded that 40.55% of the tweets they coded are pointless babble; 37.55% are conversational; 8.7% have "pass along value"; 5.85% are self-promotional; 3.75% are spam; and ::gasp:: only 3.6% are news.

Virgin.com Header | Konigi
The Virgin.com redesign sports a header that provides a boatload of functionality using mega fly out menus: locale selection, micro-site navigation, registration, login, and newsletter signup. I like that they make these options readily available wherever you are on the site. The longer drop downs like the registration form, for example, seem a little long for users on smaller screens, e.g. netbooks.

BLDGBLOG: How the Other Half Writes: In Defense of Twitter
Inspired in this specific instance by Maureen Dowd's brain-dead editorial in yesterday's New York Times, but also by the obvious glee with which so many people have denigrated the note-taking value of Twitter, it seemed like time to address the subject. Ever since a friend of mine once claimed – very late and after many drinks – that "Twitter is the death of humanism," I've been regularly thinking about how a simple note-taking technology could inspire such apparent dread in so many people.

Twitter jilts Ruby for Scala • The Register
Famously, when Twitter's Web2.0rhea app was suddenly embraced by digerati+dog in late in 2007, its original Ruby on Rails architecture had more than a little trouble keeping up the endless stream of digital solipsism. But in mid-2008, the web's startup-of-the-moment quietly ported some of its core code to Scala, and according to Twitter developer Alex Payne, the switch should stand as a lesson to cutting-edge coders everywhere.
