Aside from that,I was following tweets of several seo experts earlier for their reactions and found some that gave me some laugh…

Danny Sullivan: tw gives me twitter, than twilight. see, google knows i’m not a teenage girl.

Greg Boser: So Google Instant might save me the time I lost due to the stupid fading links? Awesome.

Oilman: google instant is crazy distracting – typos abound

Brett Tabke: Google Instant is not available for your web browser.

Pete Meyers:  Google – can you stop freaking out about Bing/Yahoo already? You’re giving me a headache.

Branko Rihtman: Good luck to breast cancer sites. Number of male visitors from Google is gonna go down a bit.

Mike Wilton: What did we learn? Old people like the new Google Instant. LOL

Brett Tabke: Anyone else wondering how much bandwidth this thing is going to waste?

According to BBC, Facebook told them that a number of users cried that their current privacy made things too complex.

“We’re working on responding to these concerns. Watch this space,” a Facebook statement said.

This is in response to the changes they made towards the end of 2009 that gained criticism from both government organizations and users as it states that social networkers didn’t need to be accepted as a “friend” to see personal information such as photos, videos and even wall posts. The only way to ensure content on your profile was not shared with other members was to opt-out.

Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said that they had a productive discussion where comments were made and questions were asked and answered during their crisis meeting last week.

“When the user wakes up in the morning, you go to Facebook and you see [the] news feed,” product manager Peter Deng told CNET News. “You see the stuff that you missed, the best of the previous day, to basically catch you up on what your friends have been up to.”

“We are Yahoo and that will continue…We collaborate on the back-end but we are competitors on the front-end,” Prabhakar Raghavan, a senior vice president of Yahoo said.

Last July, Microsoft and Yahoo signed a 10-year deal under which search on Yahoo’s websites will be generated by Microsoft’s new Bing search engine.

There was also a recent announcement about Yahoo’s newest mail interface that has a social networking feature and a new face on their messenger.

A social networking feature ala Twitter micro-blogging service was also rolled out and is now available to US users and soon to the whole world.

This developments are signs of Yahoo working to defend their position as the top email service provider but the questions are, will it work? Twitter is an established micro-blogging network already and there have been many copycats that tried to take them out but wasn’t successful. For organizing photos, there is Google’s Picasa which is truly wonderful (that’s my opinion) and a lot more popular photo organizing sites such as Photobucket.

I will wait til the service comes to the Philippines and let’s see how those features will work inside a web mail interface.

Twitter Co-founder Biz Stone wrote on their blog:

We’re gearing up to launch a new feature which makes Twitter truly location-aware. A new API will allow developers to add latitude and longitude to any tweet. Folks will need to activate this new feature by choice because it will be off by default and the exact location data won’t be stored for an extended period of time. However, if people do opt-in to sharing location on a tweet-by-tweet basis, compelling context will be added to each burst of information.

Third party developers like Germany’s Twibble have already produced geo-location services for Twitter relying on user details in their profiles. Let’s see what Twitter will have to offer on their own.

Twitter Server Error 503

For those who don’t know what HTTP 503 error means, it is the standard HTTP error that says “Service Unavailable.” Some possible reasons to list are:
- a required program has not yet been started on the server or has crashed
- exceeded its monthly bandwidth allowance
- a connection to a database has failed or is misconfigured
- server may be forbidden from giving you the requested document
- other types of network or server errors.

Now, which one of the above is twitter experiencing at the moment?

“We’re just getting started as I’ve said. The company is two years old, we have so much to do, so much product stuff to fix, and so much growing to do,” Stone said.

This declaration just placed an exclamation point to the rumors that Google, Inc., Microsoft and Apple Inc. are all interested in acquiring the company. Twitter previously declined a $500 million offer by Facebook.

They are not selling it!

Maybe not for now….
