While Twitter continues to be the buzz across the land, even Twitter doesn’t fully understand how it is changing the face of communication and interaction across the world. I was curious why Twitter was absolutely so slow yesterday but this morning when I logged on to the web version I saw why.
Twitter added the following to the web version:
1. Post Embedded videos
2. Post Embedded photos
3. Retweet (RT) functionality
4. Shorten URL functionality
5. Rollover on profile “followers” – ability to see followers most recent tweets
6. Ability to search your own tweets
These are the only ones I have seen thus far, but the micro-blogging utility has a lot to glean from the many applications that have developed out of its phenomenon. From desktop applications like tweetdeck, iphone apps like tweetie, and even firefox add-ons like tweetthat it seems there is no end to how far developers and marketers can take it.
Here are a few examples of embedded videos:
