The generation that had information, but no context. Butter, but no bread. Craving, but no longing.
Meg Wolitzer, novelist, as quoted in the New York Times piece, The Twitter Trap (via Chris)
We want to make it even easier for all our customers to use Twitter on all their iOS products.
Scott Forstall on new Twitter integration in iOS5.
Next week will be a huge week for those of us who have lived on Twitter for last few years. Apple is building Twitter in deeply into iOS 5.

Tweetie 2 Twitter for Mac, is now available on the new Mac App store. Congrats to Loren and all the fine folks at Twitter for making this happen. It has a good number of improvements over the previous Tweetie for Mac, including:

Native retweets
Real-time tweets (using the streaming API)
Lots of useful shortcuts
One of the smaller changes which I love is the larger avatar on the compose screen — this should make mis-posts (for users with multiple accounts) a little less frequent.

Oh, and if you don’t already, follow me on Twitter!

Add native ReTweeting to Tweetie for Mac.

Works as advertised.

By now, it’s clear that Twitter is not just a site. It’s a protocol for asymmetric follow. It’s a message bus for human attention. It’s able to force every Twitter user to let it know when an interaction happens, simply by changing URLs. This is the real value of the company — not just knowing what people are talking about, but knowing which things prompt an action, wherever that happens.
