Vor ein paar Tagen hat mir Georg Twitterholic.com gezeigt und mich auch gleichzeitig mal gefragt, wie schwer es wäre, so etwas für Österreich zu machen. Und jetzt, ein paar Tage später, habe ich mal ein paar gesammelte Statistiken hier hochgeladen. Wie Twitterholic zeigt auch diese Seite jeweils die Top 100 Benutzer von Twitter an, jedoch nur diejenigen, die aus Österreich kommen und daraus auch kein Geheimnis machen. Oder zumindest versuche ich das hiermit zu erreichen ;-)

Twittering too
Recently I've seen quite a few posts out there with people describing for what purposes Twitter could be used.
So for the last couple of days I'm not giving Twitter a try. But not as a replacement for blogging (as some people have indicated Twitter in general to be) but more as a supplement for small statements about recent events or things that I've just experienced. This is something I don't want to post on my main weblog so I guess Twitter might be really a nice place for this, esp. things that are posted on it are normally not something you'd consider a classic weblog post anyway :-)

For the last two days of so now I've been trying out the new public beta of Twitterific, the Twitter client for MacOSX :-) And for now I'm not really sure how to judge it...

Jaiku vs. Twitter
Famous podcaster Leo Laporte yesterday announced that he would no longer use Twitter but move to their Finnish competitor Jaiku. Ok ... but he also wrote:

Twitter's @reply useless?
For me one of the really great features of Twitter is the way in which you can actually have a discussion with other people by just prepending @username to a message when you want to respond to the latest message by that user. The problem is that Twitter doesn't seem to take into account what messages each user really sees from each other.

I hate contact spam
It's weird, everywhere you go on the net, you get spammed in one fashion or another. Websites, e-mail, etc. Not even IM is an exception mostly with porn spam ... nor is twitter. During the last couple of days I got 3 followers that all looked very ebay'ish to me: Meaning they looked like sellers on ebay that wanted to promote stuff.
What I don't get with this kind of spam, is the point. I mean, this only really works if you auto-follow people, which is a bad idea to begin with. I guess, auto-blocking people who want to follow you and have posted recently something about ebay or anything else that makes them appear to be contact-spammers would be nice ;-)

Twitter's TOS don't mean anything?
In a lengthy article Ariel Waldman today described some of her recent experiences with Twitter and how they seems to handle violations against their TOS in case of harassment.
Esp. interesting was the "final" response after being in contact about this issue for multiple months:
Apologies for the delay here. We’ve reviewed the matter and decided it’s not in our best interest to get involved. We’ve tasked our lawyers with a full review and update of our TOS.
Well, I'd say, it should be in Twitter's best interest to prevent stuff like that from happening.

Know your rate-limit on Twitter
When you write an application that uses any kind of web-API out there, you eventually get to a point where you hit some kind of rate-limit. It's especially a problem when the API has a frequently changing rate-limit as Twitter's has. Well, at least on this front, there is now an easy way around :-)

Twittering via XMPP via tweet.IM
Read more about "Twittering via XMPP via tweet.IM" ...
During the last couple of days I started experimenting a little bit with XMPP (again) and also installed my own little ejabberd server. Right when I was finished with that, another project by ProcessOne popped up on my radar: Tweet.IM. Remember when Twitter still had that nice XMPP-gateway where you could post using your Jabber client? Yeah, that one ... a long time ago. Since November there is with Tweet.IM an alternative for that non-existant service which actually works pretty well.
