Twitter Goes From Nowhere to @Anywhere

Are you ready to go Anywhere with Twitter? I did not make this years South by Southwest Conferences and Festivals but I am sure if I had attended I would have been pretty jazzed about Evan Williams breaking news about the new @Anywhere. The more one uses Twitter the more you understand how influential this service really is when it comes to social engagement. Now, enter @Anywhere and you bring a whole new world of Twitter engagement to websites large and small.

@Anywhere will allow Twitter users to create conversations without having to leave the website and log onto Twitter first. This will allow readers to Tweet more often with those who frequently visit the same websites.

This is a perfect move by Twitter at this time. With all the talk about how the Twitter growth potential being stagnant @Anywhere can bring Twitter to reach new heights. Even though it will be released first on mainstream sites like  The Huffington Post and Digg, I look forward to when I can put the @Anywhere lines of code on my sites.

Twitter Has Gone Mainstream On The Daily Show (Video)

Twitter had better get prepared to see yet another serge in growth of its newly cool service. Now that Jon Stewart of the Daily Show has made Twitter one of his “Old Man Stewart Shakes His Fist At” segments. In this video you will see how much the media elite has embraced Twitter use. There is now a list of Media People Using Twitter.  I predict that by the end of 2009 someone’s Twitter account will have one million followers. This was funny.
