A Monday Microblog catch-up…

August 18, 2008 By Dan Thornton

I know Friday is the traditional day for a round-up post, but so much happens in the microblogosphere on a daily basis, and Monday gives some nice alliteration:

  • Some stats from Twitter on how the new SMS rules have affected UK Outbound SMS usage:
Twitter stats on Outbound UK SMS usage

  • Zygotweet and tweetSMS plan to offer Twitter via SMS in the UK (Via Twitterholics)
  • Useful and interesting list and stats for newspapers on Twitter (Well, American ones!).
  • Jaiku got hit by a power failure at the data center provider for their web servers earlier today, but is back online.
  • Plurk has had some minor design and usability upgrades.
  • Pownce has integrated FireEagle, which means all your uploads and messages can now be automatically geo-tagged with your location.
  • Tumblr now allows you to search within Tumblelogs.
  • And Seesmic has a new and improved search function, and threaded player. The improvements to the player make it more and more a mini-application for your website and blog, which now lets you: -start a new conversation straight from where you are without having to leave the site, -reply to any video in private and not only in public. -post to twitter the link from your reply.

So not too much has happened!

    I’m adding UK (and other) Twitter accounts of newspapers — send me the Twitter name of the ones you know!
