Post from Robert Scoble about very intriguing beta Twitter feature and what the rest of us mere mortals can expect once it is released to the general twiiterverse.

Thanks to a retweet from @tonnet Has some excellent suggestions for classroom (learning) application.

Ganz offensichtlich haben einige Freaks nun entdeckt, dass man via Twitter selbst an die Passwörter der Nutzer kommen kann. Es wurden Phishing-Seiten erstellt, die der echten Twitter-Startseite verblüffend ähnlich sehen. Sie unterscheiden sich lediglich in der Adresszeile.

Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, an eminent scientist has warned. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans, encourage instant gratification and make young people more self-centred. The claims from neuroscientist Susan Greenfield will make disturbing reading for the millions whose social lives depend on logging on to their favourite websites each day.

This guest post is written by Geoff Cook, cofounder and CEO of social networking site myYearbook. Everything about Twitter is looking up these days, except for a few pesky uptime issues of course. But a number of recent reports also suggest teens are one demographic that just doesn't seem to be embracing Twitter like the rest of us. So while I'm excited to see Robert Scoble proclaims that Twitter is worth a cool $10 billion, it might be a good idea to analyze a little data to try to understand why teens just don't think Twitter is as rad as the rest of us.

Twitter has changed from being a tool most people thought is simply yet another way for people on the Internet to waste time to a platform for social change, social networking and dare I say it even business. One of the aspects that Twitter has been lacking is an accessible interface to the service. Thankfully Dennis Lembrée is changing all this. Schalk Neethling sat down with Dennis to learn more about Accessible Twitter, the problems he faces in creating it and what the future will hold.

Using purely the public twitter API Dennis has created an accessible version of Twitter. The site http://accessibletwitter.com/ aims to fix all of the issues above and continue to support and advocate for twitter to be accessible to all. Below is the current progress of the project.

Items Implemented\n * All links are keyboard accessible.\n * Simple, consistent layout and navigation.\n * Works with or without JavaScript.\n * Large default text size and high color contrast.\n * Looks great in high or low resolution.\n * Forms are marked up for optimal accessibility.\n * Code is semantic, light, and adheres to best practices in Web Standards.
