Some love for Micah’s fake Brett Brown Twitter account

Tweet Since Brett Brown became the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, I decided to start a fake Twitter account for him. I’m a huge Sixers fan and, when I heard his first radio interview in Philly, it was impossible not to notice his thick New England accent. I’m a Boston University graduate and my father’s family is from outside of Boston. In short – I know the accent well. So for the last seven years, I’ve been tweeting in a New England accent and it’s gotten quite a bit of notice. The account has about 4,222 followers and many […]

Twitter walks away from SoundCloud deal

Tweet You may have heard that Twitter was looking into buying SoundCloud, the music and audio-sharing company that’s been called the YouTube of audio. Well, a source tells Re/code that the deal is dead.the deal is dead. Twitter apparently let a negotiating window expire and now the talks are off. The German-based SoundCloud back in October claimed to have a whopping 250 million users. And if Twitter were to buy it, it probably wouldn’t have come cheap. They valued the company not long ago at around $700 million. Oh well, the deal is off now so it doesn’t matter.

Twitter rolling out ‘mute’ feature

Tweet Usually, when someone is obnoxious on Twitter and just tweets and re-tweets way too much, we just unfollow them. It’s a quick and easy solution to reduce your irritation levels. But, now Twitter is introducing a new way for you to silence that annoying tweeter without unfollowing them. In the coming weeks, all Twitter users will be able to “mute” the folks they are tired of hearing from. “In the same way you can turn on device notifications so you never miss a tweet from your favorite users, you can now mute users you’d like to hear from less,” […]

Tweet Believe it or not, Twitter celebrates its 8th birthday today! While not everyone was convinced the 140-character social platform would succeed, today’s anniversary certainly proves them wrong. It has now become a place for users to share information, often in real-time, leading to a big change in how we discover breaking news. “Millions of prolific tweeters have made Twitter an exciting, fun and powerful place to connect with others,” says Gabriel Stricker, Twitter’s vice president of marketing and communications. “But each of you had to start somewhere.” Today, “tweet” and “hashtag” are part of our lexicon. Twitter has become […]

Twitter ads increase while rates tumble 18%

Tweet The good news for Twitter is that the number of ads showing up on the social media network have continued to climb. That’s great, right? Well, yes and no. Twitter ad rates continue to plummet. Rates are down 18% this quarter, were down 67% in 2013 and are down 81% since 2012. Twitter says this is because of the company’s increasing supply of inventory for advertisers. In its annual report to the SEC, Twitter says that their big issue is competing for advertising dollars. quick approval personal loans “The substantial majority of our revenue is generated from the sale […]

Ellen’s selfie sets Twitter record for re-tweets

Tweet Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday night? I didn’t, but Lindsey caught some of it. I never see any of the movies that are nominated so I don’t really see the point. But, there was something that happened at the awards that captured my attention. At one point during the show, host Ellen Degeneres took a “selfie” with a bunch of actors (I’ve heard that it’s actually called a “groupie,” but you get the idea). It was neat, but what happened afterwards was record-breaking. Ellen tweeted the photo and it was re-tweeted more times than any other tweet […]

Oakland police use Twitter to fight crime

Tweet I thought this story was neat and I hope that all local police departments are using social media in this manner. Why not? Get the word out and interact with the community when you need some help. And that’s exactly what the Oakland Police Department is doing. This article starts with the story of officer Anthony Toribio responding to a shooting at a McDonald’s. Instead of rushing to his squad car (are they still called that?), he got on Twitter and tweeted out the descriptions of the suspects. Not long after that, a woman responded that the Infiniti sedan […]

Twitter stock plummets

Tweet On Thursday, Twitter stock opened at $50 a share, which is down more than 23% of its lowest trading price in the last two months. Wall St. clearly isn’t feeling the tweet. The sudden drop followed Twitter’s fourth quarter earnings report, its first such report since becoming a public company. Shockingly, it had nothing to do with actual revenue, which actually surpassed Wall St. estimates. The drop was due to slow user growth and a decline in engagement. “Expectations were higher for Twitter,” says Arvind Bhatia, an analyst with Sterne Agee. “User growth and engagement are going to be […]

WordPress 3.4 “Green” released

Tweet This is the kind of stuff we get excited about because we’re a bit nerdy at times. WordPress has just released the newest version of their popular content management system (CMS), WordPress 3.4 “Green.” Nicknamed after jazz master Grant Green, the new version has some neat new options. You can play with themes in real time before making them live, trick out your header and view the changes in real time, embed tweets easily and beautifully and much, much more.
