Twitter CEO Dick Costolo: Users Can Download Their Entire Archive By Year-End; Now Sees... - 0 views

  •  
    "It took three years, two months and one day for the first billion tweets to be sent. From the time the company started in 2006 to mid-2009 three years, two months and one day for the first billion tweets to be sent. It has a nice rhythm that it was three, two, one. It probably wasn't exactly one day, but we like to say that; so it's three, two, one," he said. "We now send a billion tweets every two and a half days. So the volume, the noise level has increased dramatically."

Rethinking Assessment - 0 views

  •  
    Came across this well-written blog that says we should change the way students are assessed in the educational system. For instance, changing the way test questions are shaped can allow a student to think critically, test the student's ability to access resources and experts available online and provide them with practical, real-world experience.

Thanksgiving Day on Instagram - 1 views

  •  
    Instagram has been around for two years but it's really only taken off since the beginning of 2012. Since this is the first calendar year in which it's been a major social media player it is interesting to see the records it keeps breaking in terms of most popular day yet on Insta. In the past month both Hurricane Sandy and now Thanksgiving have broken the record. I can only imagine that X-mas next month will keep the records going - people love to Instagram food pictures.

Why Instagram Just Broke Itself - 0 views

  •  
    Really interesting read about Instagram disabling its compatibility with Instagram - which officially has nothing to do with it being owned by Facebook. Especially interesting to read about the focus on financial gain. Social media is often hailed as bringing people together - but is it really just a flashy reinforcement of the structures that be?

google nexus 4 - 0 views

    a review of my dream phone. it keeps selling out in what feels like a matter of seconds. probably because you can buy it unlocked without a contract straight from google, and avoid the evil canadian phone companies! i'm very excited for this next step in mobile phones as it should help alleviate the need to sell your soul to rogers every time you need/want a new phone

Twitter Working on Photo Filters - 1 views

  •  
    It seems like Twitter's been busy upgrading its service to be more visual-oriented. is this a counter move to Facebook's purchase and integration of Instagram? Does it make sense in the Twitterverse to have the ability to add filters/effects to twitpics?

They also make interesting comments about how Facebook was more productive when it was a primarily mobile only site, invoking more raw emotion and allowing you to be "more real" on Insta than on other social media sites.
