The new twitter

The only think I’ve to tell you guys is that I’m pretty exited for this new release. I’m waiting for my account to be updated soon.

What I like about the new twitter:

  • It’s faster and easy to use (as seen on the video)
  • It has a new window that shows the information about the tweet you click ( Pictures, Videos, etc incorporated)
  • Justin.tv, Ustream, Youtube, Flickr, and more are going to support this big release
  • The tweets are still the most important part of the site. It’s not like Facebook that you can check different areas (Photos, Statuses, Links, Friends, Birthdays). In twitter.com all the media is going to be focused on tweets.
  • New Twitter’s TimeLine will have no limit, you can scroll down all you want but you wont find the “More” button.

Note: The update is not available for all right now. It’ll be updated little by little to all the users until it get a worldwide  update.

What do you think about new twitter.com?

First we thought that this "Blackberry-mania" would be the only way of connecting to each other (based on the number of people who now uses blackberr). “Chatear en el celular” is now a thing that is no more based on having a smartphone with the Blackberry word included, guess what...there's a new way of been connected.

Since 1 year ago, there's an app on iPhone that can be used to talk with other friends that also have an iPhone. But, what happens if the app launches on blackberry, androids and Nokias?

You'll have a complete instant messenger that will have the basic things you need not only to get connected, but to share. How is it? It's called Whatsapp and it can be downloaded on your app store.

Check this out: Here

Update: A Pin is no more needed, the only thing you need is your friend’s cell number.

@Google team has just launched a new way of searching, it’s based on real time search and it’s called “Google instant search”.

It’s an improvement that Google has made to overhaul its search engine performance. How does it works? It’s easy as A,B,C… ( look on the video)

The only thing that you’ve to do is “write” on the search bar, once the thing that you’re looking for shows up on your search result you can stop. Just “Click”

…search.

For those who didn’t seen the last ad about Google TV ( I didn’t)

It’s a well known fact that you can create hashtags on twitter for different purposes. Even if you want to talk about your cat or you want to discuss a movie that you saw on weekend, hasthtags are very usefull to share this information to others.

In Panama City we’ve “EncuestaPanama” created by me, @ArleSPinzon. The main idea is to share opinions about a specific topic.

This weekend I asked my followers on twitter for “Gmail with priority inbox or Windows Live Hotmail Wave 4” and guess who’s the winner…Gmail. ( 6 – Google, 2 – Windows live Hotmail Wave 4)

Gmail, is the popular web based e-mail created by @Google team which have a simple, organizing and smart arrangement of things you want to use on your mail inbox. But, it’s better than Windows Live hotmail?

Ok, I personally like and use the new hotmail, and I find it most useful than earlier versions. According to readers vote and also my opinion Gmail is not only “a new mail service” but It’s a redesigned version of the e-mail service we saw before which primary objective is to solve today’s tasks.

I use both of them, but I think that now ( with the integrated priority inbox ) I’m going to full change from Windows to @Google team.

Check out the video that is making me change my e-mail default service:

Time’s are changing, e-mail too.

Hello everybody! I’ve an article posted on my Facebook profile (and it’s available for everyone who have me on facebook or anyone who at least have one friend in common with me) in which I talk about Twitter and Facebook as “Powerful social networks” and the use that many users give to them.

It’s on spanish and you can read it here: http://bit.ly/99sdLt 
Hope you like it!

Have you ever noticed that even if you have a camera on your phone, you still have ( or want ) a good camera separated from it? Maybe it’s because the camera you got have more px than the one you’ve on your cellphone or maybe you want something that’s not part or depend on your phone functionality.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveils Ping, a social network for music, at a news conference in San Francisco.

Let’s talk about @Apple new social network, PING. A new social network from a company that has “that magic”. What “magic” am I talking about? the “magic” that makes you buy something that you have but bigger (iPod – iPad).

Ping is not Facebook or twitter, it tries to be both of them. @Apple there’re some things that are better separated. (It was a nice try tho)

Could it be posible that a powerfull and stylish hardware/software company could enter in the social network business? It depends on the product or the social network they want to release.

Social network: is a way of sharing or getting information for a social circle, in some cases it could be working together with people you know.

Ping has some “social network”’s problems:

- You can’t share your own information ( or at least isn’t that intuitive)
- It’s a new way to follow the same people you follow on Twitter. Am I right? They share pictures, videos and links on Ping, isn’t that happen on twitter?
- It’s like a jail: You hear what happens on the other side of the jail but you can’t be part of it.
- It’s not easy to find your friends on Ping.

…And so on, there are a lot of things that make this new social network a “fail” for what I was expecting.

Do you like Ping?
