    Twitter plans to record all links clicked | Privacy Inc. - CNET News

    soupsoup:

    courtenaybird:

    “An e-mail announcement Wednesday night said “all users” will soon be switched over to Twitter’s t.co link-shortening service and, once that happens, “all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps” will use it. In addition, the company said, when anyone clicks “on these links from Twitter.com or a Twitter application, Twitter will log that click.”

    Wednesday’s news was soon met with a smattering of privacy concerns, with some Twitter users dubbing it a “disgusting data landgrab” and others wondering if there will be an “opt-out policy” for those who prefer not to have their clicks recorded. Another concern: a centralized link-redirector means a centralized point of failure in a service known for being frequently overloaded.” (via CNET)

    And Twitter continues to devour the third party apps that originally enhanced it.

    If I were Twitter I’d do this too. No brainer.

    soupsoup: Majority of Twitter users do not use mobile or third party apps, simply use Twitter.com As MG points out, this chart is conspicuously missing Android usage. As Ev points out in his post, this is uniques (not active users) and the traffic is disproportionately 3rd party clients. Still, very interesting data.

    TechStars NYC

    davidtisch:

    The New York startup community is overflowing with energy. The is an opportunity for TechStars, a nationally recognized seed stage investment program, to help accelerate the formation and growth of startups in NYC. As an organization focused on identifying, mentoring and sponsoring budding technology teams, TechStars has a proven formula to identify potential and accelerate success. I’m humbled and excited to join TechStars to help launch and run the New York City program.

    The impact TechStars can have on the New York startup community is tremendous. Already, we have an amazing group of NYC mentors who have built and run the best New York-based companies. Our city is the perfect home for TechStars, as a native and life-long New Yorker, I am excited be part of an organization that will help new companies become great enterprises in this flourishing and vibrant startup community.

    From my own personal perspecive, I’m delighted to work with the mentors, the investors, Brad Feld and especially David Cohen.  It is a tremendous honor.


    I look forward to engaging the entire community to help in building a core piece of the startup ecosystem in the best city in the world.

    jayparkinsonmd: A young man plunged 39 stories Tuesday from a West Side high-rise, crashed through the windshield of a sports car - and lived to tell about it. “My leg! My leg!” Thomas Magill, 22, screamed after an apparent suicide attempt ended with his landing in the red 2008 Dodge Charger, witnesses said. The things you learn throughout medical school, residency, and practicing is never say never…anything and everything can and will happen if it involves the human body. Reminds me of this.

    9-bits: This is how I feel about buying apps, The Oatmeal. Click through for more of this strip and tons of other great cartoons. It’s amazing how people think relatively when it comes to price. Also amazing how people value their time (high or low).

    Jack-n-Grill serves up a 7 pound breakfast burrito filled with a dozen eggs and 15 ounces of chili. Jack’s a real ladies man. Any woman who can finish the 7-pound burrito in one sitting, eats free at Jack-n-Grill for the rest of her life. She probably also has a severe intestinal problem.

    I love that 2 of the top 9 are in Jersey. Road trip. Also, the 12 egg omelette at Beth’s Cafe in Seattle deserves to be an honorable mention for this list.
