Thierry Henry’s handball in the France v Ireland game last night prompted the response that we might expect on Twitter and youtube. There are now multiple clips of the incident and I would show you a screenshot of my Twitter stream last night but some of it is just too rude! There was also retaliation [...]
The Xfactor twins Jedward may be camp teens who prance around in jumpsuits and sing very badly but there is an awful lot that we could learn from these 2 plucky young chaps. They are full of life and passion and there are a lot of elements of what they do that should be copied to imrove your blog. You don’t actually have to start by getting a jumpsuit and dancing around singing bad rap but just use their example as passionate young men who are giving it their all while holding their heads up high…
Bing has been grabbing a few headlines lately and it has certainly stormed onto the search market this year, making a big impact. I think there could be a potential for Bing, but I don’t think it’s future lies in search. At least, not as we know it.

Twitter traffic has been growing for a couple of years like crazy but October 2009 has seen it drop for the first time and it comes hot on the heels of further bad news with Stephen Fry claiming that he has quit the service. The traffic reports comes from a variey of online services including compete, Quantcast, Alexa and Hitwise who all measure traffic online and although this is only traffic that reaches the Twitter website directly and doesn’t include 3rd party apps such as Tweetdeck and Seesmic it does give a good overall indication of where things are headed.
Is this bad news for Twitter or is it simply a pause in growth before it starts another spurt? Have a look through the graphs after the jump and see what you think yourself…

Ebersman claimed that “Facebook was still a very small company with only 750 employees but that it was growing rapidly and broadening it’s usser base”. Jobs to be created at the Dublin HQ include Sales, HR, Finance and “some engineering”.
