Twitter Hovercard: Preview Tweep Details Directly From Timeline

This week twitter introduced another cool new feature-HoverCard. Hover your mouse pointer over any username, and twitter will preview details of that tweep like Name, Place and a more button (Shown in the pic above).

Hootsuite Introduces Cool New Features!

No doubtedly hootsuite is my favourite twitter client. So when Hootsuite goes down I become upset. But I become happier when it comes back with cool new features.

Same happened today, it went down for half an hour, and returned with the new feature Preview Link. I will be adding if I find any other new feature introduced.

Let me give you a screenshot of this brand new feature.

twtvite-Event Manager Tool to Organise Tweetup

If you use Twitter and want to meet your online friends offline too, you must be organising a tweetup. This may be for a cool hangout with your new friends or for making some difference in your locality engaging all local tweeps. Whatever may be the reason you will need to organize the event and spread the news to people so that they can get the informations about the tweetup. For this twitvite can help you best.

Twitter is Down & See what's happening Through Google Real Time Search

Update: Thank God! Twitter is back to Normal. Anyway see below Google Real-time search in action

Free online screencasting tool

Twitter is down for some unknown reason. While it is very uncomfortable situation for me, because I am Twitter-addict, I thought of trying the new Google Real-time search with the keyword 'Twitter' and the result was amazing. As you can see in the pic, there is a portion called Latest Result for Twitter where you can see real-time results including the keyword Twitter.

One thing I couldn't understand, please reply if you have the answer, if Twitter is down how Tweets are appearing in the Google Search?

Anyway if you are worried about Twitter and curious about its condition you may want to visit Twitter Status I visited and found this -

Update:

I hope Twitter will recover soon because it's hard to be online without Twitter, I think I am missing it much!

Fledging Wine - Selling Wine to Spread Literacy!

The Fledgling Initiative aims to make awesome wine for the benefit of Room to Read, a non-profit organization extending literacy and educational opportunities to children worldwide. Every case sold will provide approximately 60 local language children’s books and promote education in the world’s poorest regions.

An introduction from Biz & Ev

As a company that's only one percent into its journey, we're always thinking about our long term impact on the world. The Fledgling Initiative embodies two things that are at the core of Twitter's mission: providing access to information and highlighting the power of open communication to bring about positive change. This initiative is just one piece of that approach. Take part in this mission and pre-buy our limited bottles of the wine. You can follow along with our wine-making activities on Twitter and at some points even participate in its creation. For each bottle you buy, $5 will be donated to Room to Read, a transformational non-profit that brings books, libraries and ultimately literacy to people in the poorest areas around the world. The efforts of Room to Read will benefit literacy, and in doing so they'll allow Twitter to grow. Because if you can't read you can't Tweet!
Thanks,

Biz Stone & Evan Williams

What is Room to Read?

Over 300 million children around the world do not have access to education and most likely will never learn to read or write. Room to Read believes that all children, regardless of gender or background, have a right to education. By empowering children through this lifelong gift, Room to Read sees a world in which people are able to realize their full potential.

Room to Read began in Nepal ten years ago when Microsoft executive John Wood left his job to begin bringing donating books to rural communities. Today, it’s a global non-profit organization providing opportunities that change children's lives and communities throughout Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zambia. To date, Room to Read has established more than 700 schools and over 7,000 bilingual libraries with five million books, and supports the education of nearly 7,000 girls. Room to Read’s programs have already reached more than three million children and hope to improve literacy for five million children by establishing over 10,000 libraries and distributing nearly nine million children's books by 2010.

Imagine a world in which every child has access to an education. Room to Read is making this dream a reality, one child at a time.

Indian Tweep Special: Twitter made me Rich on 15th August-Independence Day of India

(Updated continuously)

Hey I am not writing another crap like how twitter gave me so many followers and how did I made money. I really feel pity for those who use twitter just for making money. Because there is something more precious than money, that twitter can give you. What is that? FRIENDSHIP!

Somewhere I read, "If you want to know how rich you are, don't just count your money. Shed a tear from your eye and see how many hands are there to wipe it"

So I consider the person with most good friends rich. Honestly I became rich on the last 15th August. It was Independence Day of my country India. And all indian tweeps decided to make #INDIA withing top 10 Trending Topic.

(BTW, Trending Topics are the Top Ten topics people are talking about on Twitter, tending Topics list reveals the brands or topics that are accelerating on Twitter and for those who dont know what twitter is then well all i can say is you are missing out on a lot of fun go right away and register here and join the troop of maniacs www.twitter.com- my friend Zooni's Blog )

I was personally using http://tweetchat.com/room/india for watching real-time conversation on #INDIA and tweeting myself on #INDIA too! And I started communicating with others tweeps (People in twitter) from India, their response was such worm and loving, that I felt I knew them for long. I thank God for giving me so many good friends on a single day.

Let me Introduce you to my Friends from #INDIA oops! sorry India: (I will continuously add up names to this list, so keep an eye on it, I am so sorry if I missed your name, please let me know)
