I noticed Twitter.com is now displaying the number of new Tweets that occur in between page refreshes and views over the web. Twitter.com New Tweets Previously, Twitter users who viewed their accounts on the web wouldn’t have any idea how many Tweets had been made in between the time they viewed one page from the next. With the Tweet Stream growing ever more volumunous for active Twitter users, this simple improvement may help prevent Stream Fatigue or cause more of it.

I guess the initial wave of Twitter spammers probably duplicated their content from one account to the next as they spammed and then their accounts were banned. Taking a page from those early Twitter spam innovators, the MLM crowd appears to have picked up where the spammers left off while also adding a few new tricks of their own. Apparently one of my previous Tweets had a keyword sweet enough in it for the Twitter search and follow autobots to follow my account. It was probably the #140Conf hashtag. This morning I received two new Twitter followers one from a man, the other from a woman one right after another. Nothing unusal there. Since I don’t auto-follow followers, I went to investigate each Twitter account to see what I could find. What I found was two Twitter accounts with legitimate names and bios yet both had the same background and Tweet history. Exhibit #1 Duplicate Twitter Account 1 Exhibit #2 Duplicate Twitter Account 2 What a novel idea. Cloned Twitter accounts Tweeting spammy duplicate MLM content! If I were guessing, I would say this could become a major hassle for both Twitter and Twitter’s audience.

I virtually attended my second conference this year – the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco – over the last several days. I previously attended the AlwaysOn Summit at Stanford where I began developing my strategy for virtually attending conferences from the convenience of my laptop. The cool thing about virtual attendance of conferences is that regardless of where I am at in the world at the time of the conference – I can “virtually attend” via those who are actually attending. Its pretty efficient because I don’t have to hop on a plane and spend several days traveling to and from an event. More importantly, I can attend events while also remaining focused on my primary work almost without interruption. Also, I can do all of this without having to watch hours of video or read through a bunch of transcripts or blogs to figure out what was said by who. How? By grabbing all of a conference’s original Tweets. Its not perfect, but I have found all of a conference’s gems are best surfaced in Tweets by those audience members in attendance. Granted, there are some semantic issues from one Tweeter’s Tweet to the next but even having different transcriptions produces value. Once I have grabbed all of a conference’s Tweets, I read all of them and determine which ones best captured the speaker’s point. After that, I assemble a list of the top 50 or 100 Tweets and publish them in a WordPress blog. The top 50 Tweets from the Web 2.0 Summit 09 . With the new WordPress “publicize” feature, I then Tweet them to my Twitter account. This process accomplishes at least two things: 1. The WordPress blog post and its content eventually gets crawled and then indexed in Google search engine results pages. 2. The Tweets get grabbed and published in real time by search engines like @Bing.com/Twitter. Bing Twitter #w2s As you can see from the screen shot above, my Top 50 Tweets post from #w2s @SearchMarketingCommunications.com were grabbed by Bing.com/Twitter and placed under the most recent Tweets about #w2s. Further down the page, Bing.com/Twitter then provides a list of top links shared in Tweets about the keyword Tweeted. In this case, my Top 50 Tweets from the Web 2.0 Summit 2009 post reached the seventh position on this particular Bing results page for #w2s. Bing Tweets Links Publishing this blog post will in turn push this blog into the most recent Tweets for the same keyword again.

I have enabled all of my WordPress blogs to post directly from my dashboard directly to my Twitter account. Each WordPress blog posted to Twitter begins with “posted to WP.com”. Today I discovered a link within my WordPress publish box for editing publicized Twitter posts. Edit WordPress Tweet Messages I am not sure whether the “posted to WP.com” Tweet introduction can be edited out or not but being able to add additional comments to Tweets should help make the theme and content of a each Tweeted WordPress blog post more clear to its audience.
