Twitter é a 3ª maior rede social do mundo
Do IDG Now!
Microblog conta com 96 milhões de usuários único, um milhão a mais do que a rede social da NewsCorp. Facebook mantém liderança.
Um levantamento da consultoria comScore, feita em agosto último, constatou que o Twitter ultrapassou o My Space em número de usuários únicos e agora é a terceira maior rede social do mundo.
Segundo o relatório, o microblog conta com 96 milhões de usuários, contra 95 milhões da rede social pertecente a NewsCorp. Aos poucos, o Twitter vai avançando rumo à segunda posição do ranking, que pertence à plataforma Windows Live, que tem 140 milhões de usuários.
O MySpace vem lutando para conter a fuga de usuários. Nos últimos 12 meses houve uma queda de 17% no número de pessoas que freqüenta essa rede. Já o Twitter registrou um crescimento de 76% entre agosto de 2009 e agosto de 2010.
O domínio absoluto continua com o Facebook, que registrou 598 milhões de usuários em agosto e cuja audiência aumentou em 54% neste ano.

A new "apps culture"
Cell phones now permeate American culture. As they become more powerful as connected, multi-media, handheld devices, a new ecosystem of computing applications is being created around them. The emergence of this pervasive mobile connectivity is changing the way people interact, share creations, and exploit the vast libraries of material that are generated for the internet.
35% of adults have cell phones with apps
Of the 82% of adults today who are cell phone users, 43% have apps on their phones. When taken as a portion of the entire U.S. adult population, that means that 35% have cell phones with apps. This figure includes adult cell phone users who:
- have downloaded an app to their phone (29% of adult cell phone users), and/or
- have purchased a phone with preloaded apps (38% of adult cell phone users)
A “yes” answer to either question was sufficient to include someone in the apps population. Of course, many cell owners (23%) have both pre-loaded and downloaded apps on their cell phones.

A quem interessa o SEO?
Boa discussão hoje pela manhã no Twitter com @silviabassi @lumoherdaui @msant_iago @dbittencourt e @DeLuCa sobre SEO (postei em cronologia reversa):
@DeLuCa: @lumoherdaui Virou mesmo. E acho que justamente por virar moeda de troca ninguém usa bem muitos dos recursos do SEO.
@lumoherdaui: @silviabassi @msant_iago s @dbittencourt @deluca: O SEO virou moeda de troca de posicionamento na rede.
@dbittencourt: @lumoherdaui @silviabassi @deluca @msant_iago até que se invente o novo SEO. a relevância e a qualidade do conteúdo deveria ditar, não técnica.
@dbittencourt: @silviabassi @lumoherdaui @msant_iago sem falar que um 'uso guerrilheiro' de tags acaba com qualquer indexação SEO. belo debate
@lumoherdaui: @dbittencourt @msant_iago @silviabassi: inclusive, já testei isso em um projeto recente de fotojornalismo e o resultado foi genial.
@silviabassi: @dbittencourt @msant_iago @lumoherdaui concordo. o futuro do jornalismo está em combinar excelência no conteudo e domínio da tecnologia
@lumoherdaui: @dbittencourt @msant_iago @silviabassi: acredito que o uso inteligente de tags desconfigura a lógica comercial do SEO.
@dbittencourt: @msant_iago @silviabassi @lumoherdaui escrever na web é produzir de forma diferente de outros suportes. SEO é importante, mas não só

The future of social media in journalism
"The future of social media in journalism will see the death of “social media.” That is, all media as we know it today will become social, and feature a social component to one extent or another.
I feel the same way about multimedia."

A notícia em rede
via @Rosental: The newest secret from the @nytimes labs: a social news service called News.me http://nyti.ms/9pa69u:
It’s also worth noting that Betaworks has experimented with a service called Bitly.TV that aggregates the most popular YouTube videos people have shared using the bit.ly service. It’s not hard to imagine how a similar service could be created that ranks popular news articles.
Betaworks and The Times Plan a Social News Service
By JENNA WORTHAMSomething is stirring deep within the technology incubator Betaworks: A personalized news service called News.me that is being developed in collaboration with The New York Times.
“We’re building something wonderful and amazing in the social news space,” said John Borthwick, chief executive office at Betaworks.
Mr. Borthwick’s company has helped nurture TweetDeck, a popular desktop client for Twitter, and Web tools like Bit.ly, a URL shortener, and Chartbeat, a real-time Web analytics service.
The News.me product has been in the works for the last six months and is expected to be out sometime later this year, Mr. Borthwick said. It will initially debut as an iPad application, although a Web version may be introduced at some point.
Mr. Borthwick would not say exactly how the service would work, but he hinted that its name should give some indication.
Michael Zimbalist, vice president of research and development at The Times Company, also declined to describe the application in detail, saying only that the company had been studying and monitoring trends on the Web and in social media.
“We’re abstracting from that a vision of how social sharing and the real-time Web are going to influence the news consumption experience,” he said. “We decided to develop a prototype that we thought was illustrative of where the world was heading.”
Mr. Zimbalist said that The Times Company, which participated in Betaworks’ most recent round of financing, struck an arrangement where Betaworks would buy a prototype of the app that was created by members of The Times Company’s development labs, and that same team would work with Betaworks developers to finish it.
“From the Times’s perspective, we think this is a really interesting way for a company like ours to foster an entrepreneurial culture through a start-up,” he said.
IPad applications that sort out the chaotic tumble of links and likes from the social Web have been a hot commodity lately. Flipboard, which transforms social media feeds into an attractive, easy-to-read layout, has been overwhelmed at times with the number of people eager to use its service.
SRI, the research institute that recently sold a virtual personal assistant called Siri to Apple, is busy building its own version, called Chattertrap.
The service, which is currently available in a test version, is a Web-based newsfeed that uses artificial intelligence to monitor what people are reading and learn what they like, and then serves up articles and links that suit their interests.
But Betaworks may have a leg up on the competition.
Bit.ly is a popular link-shortening service that tracks which links are shared most widely around the Web — how many times a particular link was clicked and the geographic location of the clicker.
So far this year, Bit.ly has unshortened more than 30 billion clicked links from around the Web and from thousands of content providers, who have deals with the company to get their own custom URL shorteners, giving them a unique glimpse into what articles, topics and links are popular.

Google instant with Bob Dylan
No momento em que se discute a quebra de sigilo na Receita Federal, Larry Page e Sergey Brin lançam mais uma ferramenta que vai aumentar a polêmica em torno da privacidade na rede: o Google Instant Search.
Uma rápida pesquisa com meu nome, que não é Trending Topics na rede, já mostrou a que veio a busca instantânea. Pude ver as últimas menções a mim nas redes sociais e nos sites web afora, com links para quem fez as citações.
Imagine o mashup de dados que dá para fazer caso algum desavisado abra os dados da Receita na rede?
E por falar em mashup, os garotos do Google criaram um com Bob Dylan. Enquanto ele canta “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, as letras vão pingando na tela da ferramenta de busca.
Alguém ainda duvida da reconfiguração da interface numa cultura cada vez mais pautada em dados?

"We will stop printing NY Times sometime in the future"
via http://www.businessinsider.com:
Henry Blodget | Sep. 8, 2010, 5:52 PM | 793 | 11
At a conference in London, Arthur Sulzberger Jr conceded what we have long been arguing: Someday, the New York Times Company will be forced to stop publishing a printed paper.*
This sounds obvious, but it's a big deal.
The economics of the online news business will not support the infrastructure or newsroom that the printed paper supports.
Unless the New York Times Company can come up with a miracle new digital revenue stream, therefore, it will eventually have to be restructured and downsized (or sold to a deep-pocketed Sydney Harmon-type who runs it at a loss out of love).
Importantly, even a successful online paywall will not allow the paper to maintain its current cost structure.
We estimate that the NYT currently spends about $200 million a year on its newsroom and generates about $150 million of online revenue. If the paywall is highly successful--attracting, say, 1 million subscribers who pay $100 a year--this will add another $100 million of online subscription revenue (assuming the company doesn't lose ad revenue). With $250 million of revenue, the NYT might be able to sustain newsroom costs of about $100 million.
Now, a $100 million newsroom budget is a HUGE newsroom budget--one that most online publications would kill for. So the New York Times isn't going anywhere. But $100 million is also a lot less than the New York Times's current newsroom budget.
So if Arthur Sulzberger is right that the New York Times will eventually have to stop printing the print paper--and we certainly think he is--his company is likely to have to be restructured.
That is, unless NYTCo can find a Bloomberg-like sugar-daddy to run it at a loss indefinitely.
* Here's what Arthur said, exactly, as reported by Emma Heald of editorsweblog:
Asked about his response to the suggestion that the NYT might print its last edition in 2015, Sulzberger said he saw no point in making such predictions and said all he could say was that "we will stop printing the New York Times sometime in the future, date TBD."
That's the first time we've heard him say that. And we suspect it's news to a lot of folks who have been telling us that we're wrong about the NYT because the company will be printing papers forever.
