[documental.com] Un dossier complet sur Twitter : "Peut-on communiquer efficacement lorsqu'on ne dispose que de 140 caractères pour s'exprimer ? En d'autres termes, le micro-blogging a-t-il vraiment un intérêt ? A en croire les blogueurs confirmés, Twitter, l'outil phare du domaine, est devenu Le nouvel outil indispensable de leur panoplie 2.0." (...)
A great and thorough explanation of how the hacker "Croll" accessed key Twitter business documents and accounts in the cloud. Comes down to human practices, chance and security holes.
This latest Twitter security problem is NOT related to the service itself. Instead it seems that some internal draft documents were stolen by hacking an employee Google account.
Now you can use Docs to store and share files in any format, such as a Microsoft Word document or a PDF. Files can be up to 250 megabytes in size, and you get up to 1 gigabyte total storage for free. Now Chrome OS or systems like Netbook Pack can store any file, which was a previously impossible.
Upload and manage your photos, videos and documents, and share them on all your favorite social networks from one location.
TwitC also lets you import your favorite or personal content from YouTube, Docstoc, Slide, TED, Break, Hulu, Google Docs, Viddler, Soundcloud, Kickstarter, SlideShare, Blip.tv, Ustream, Vimeo, College Humor, Break, Meefedia, Funny or Die, Metacafe, Daily Motion, Livestream, The Onion, National Geographic, eHow, and dozens more sites.
The Multimap twitter bot helps you to access the same maps, directions and local information that you find on multimap.com by simply sending direct messages via twitter. You can send a message to fetch local information such as the closest ATM, tourist attraction, park, cinema, theatre or even find entries on wikipedia about what is nearby.

The one thing you can say for certain about Twitter is that it makes a
terrible first impression. You hear about this new service that lets you send
140-character updates to your "followers," and you think, Why does the world
need this, exactly? It's not as if we were all sitting around four years ago
scratching our heads and saying, "If only there were a technology that would
allow me to send a message to my 50 friends, alerting them in real time about my
choice of breakfast cereal."

I, too, was skeptical at first. I had met Evan Williams, Twitter's
co-creator, a couple of times in the dotcom '90s when he was launching
Blogger.com. Back then, what people worried about was the threat that blogging
posed to our attention span, with telegraphic, two-paragraph blog posts
replacing long-format articles and books. With Twitter, Williams w

It added a second layer of discussion and brought a wider audience into what would have been a private exchange. And it gave the event an afterlife on the Web. Yes, it was built entirely out of 140-character messages, but the sum total of those tweets added up to something truly substantive, like a suspension bridge made of pebbles."
