At last! There are two ways of looking at this new "ability," one optimistic and one pessimistic. One is that Twitter is now more able to effectively tailor itself to the needs of certain countries. The other is that Twitter is now more able to effectively tailor itself to the needs of certain countries.]]> http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2012/01/twitter-changes-the-contours-of-censorship-with-country-by-country-blocking/feed/ 0 http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2012/01/twitter-really-really-hates-googles-new-google-integration/ http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2012/01/twitter-really-really-hates-googles-new-google-integration/#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:59:11 +0000 Benedictus http://techcrunch.com/?p=480910 This morning, Google began rolling out a major change to its core search engine that intertwines results from Google+ (and Picasa) with the 'normal' algorithmically-generated results we've come to expect. There have been plenty of critiques of the news, including John Battelle's discussion on how this isn't actually integrating 'Your World', as Google calls it, but rather just its own social network. And now there's another critic that's coming out swinging: Twitter. Earlier today the company's General Counsel Alex Macgillivray, who was a top attorney at Google prior to making the jump to Twitter, called it "A bad day for the Internet", and stated that some of his former colleagues were likely upset by the decision to "warp" Google's results. And now Twitter itself has followed up with a statement denouncing the feature — and rather relying on the wishy-washy PR speak big companies are fond of, it's very direct. Here's the full statement:]]> http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2012/01/twitter-really-really-hates-googles-new-google-integration/feed/ 0 http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/12/saudi-prince-pumps-300-million-into-twitter/ http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/12/saudi-prince-pumps-300-million-into-twitter/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:55:22 +0000 Benedictus http://techcrunch.com/?p=471012 In an unexpected move, a member of the Saudi royal family has invested $300 million in social networking company Twitter. This morning, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud, founder and CEO of Kingdom Holding Company and one of the wealthiest people on the planet, announced the investment, which was reported first by Bloomberg. In a statement, Twitter's newest equity holder says that the investment was the result of "several months of negotiations and comprehensive due diligence".]]> http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/12/saudi-prince-pumps-300-million-into-twitter/feed/ 0 http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/12/panther-on-liar-graham-i-feel-like-dirt-abused/ http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/12/panther-on-liar-graham-i-feel-like-dirt-abused/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:00:03 +0000 Benedictus http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/pitt-star-on-graham-i-feel-like-dirt-i-was-just-abused-29927 http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/12/panther-on-liar-graham-i-feel-like-dirt-abused/feed/ 0 http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/11/arizona-ad%e2%80%99s-140-keys-to-school%e2%80%99s-football-future/ http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/11/arizona-ad%e2%80%99s-140-keys-to-school%e2%80%99s-football-future/#comments Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:19:34 +0000 Benedictus http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/arizona-ads-140-keys-to-schools-football-future-29905 http://blog.christianebuddy.com/2011/11/arizona-ad%e2%80%99s-140-keys-to-school%e2%80%99s-football-future/feed/ 0
