Will Twitter Aid in the Demise of Facebook?

by Eric Greenspan on May 14, 2010

Seems like Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg could soon be living his worst nightmare. I truly hope not as I’m a big FB fan. The air is filled with FB germs right now and he needs to disinfect fast. Additionally, Twitter is powerful enough to bring the whole thing down on its own, IMHO. Here’s evidence it may already be happening…

Users are deleting their accounts and using Twitter to spread the news. While Twitter is not necessarily a competitor to Facebook, it has a cult like following that could lead to the demise of the “other” monster social networking service. If Twitterers want it gone, they can spread the word fast and a viral mass exodus could ensue.

On May 31st, there is a planned “walk out” on FB, so is this just a sign of what’s to come or is it just fluff? We shall soon see. See Make It Work’s T3 story here.

Hey Twitter App-makers…Have you heard of the iPad?

May 12, 2010

I’m a big user of Tweetdeck on the PC and Mac. I also use Tweetdeck on my iPhone. Hootsuite is my favorite for iPhone 3.x (crashes in my OS 4.0 beta 3).  But for my iPad…I’ve tried the Tweetdeck for iPad and its missing most of what makes Tweetdeck great elsewhere. It’s a dog so [...]

Twitter Spam in Mentions, Replies and DM: Here’s Why YOU Send Them

February 25, 2010

Curious how you get so many spam messages in Twitter? It’s not rocket science. I just got this one: “hi, i’m 24/female/horny… i have to get off here but message me on my windows live messenger name…” You probably did too. I know @mayhemstudios, @marshacollier and @TopBrokerOC did (thanks you three!). So, how does this [...]

I have vanity urls setup at just about every site on the web. I love Namechk.com for this. It’s been an amazing experience so [...]
