Kim DotCom Claims Twitter Infringed On Patent, But Will Accept ‘Blue Tick’ As Payment

Twitter rolled out two-step verification yesterday to the delight of those worried about being hacked – and to the annoyance of one of the lords of the Internet, Kim Dotcom.

You see, sir Dotcom claims to have patented this process many years ago – and it seems he has proof.

But don’t worry Twitter (and Google and anyone else authenticating logons this way), all the man wants is a little help with his legal fees and to have his account verified by Twitter!

Jose Canseco Tests Privacy Limits; Tweets Alleged Rape Victim’s Name And Photo

There are few rules one must follow to stay in Twitter’s good graces and they mostly revolve around spam (don’t do it). Beyond that, anything goes really. You can tweet whatever you want – it’s a freedom of speech wasteland – just DON’T share someone’s personal information without their permission.

Unless you’re Jose Canseco, that is. He can share the name and photo of his alleged rape victim with impunity.

How Does YOUR Garden Grow? This One Won Gold And Is Powered By Twitter [VIDEO]

Wouldn’t it be great to have a garden that was visible (or not) based on the whim of folks tweeting about it? Possibly not, as Twitter trolls might kill it with ‘unkindness.’

But one optimistic group of folks, with an apparently less-jaded view of Twitter, have put their garden out there and have stunned IRL viewers with the results, bringing home the gold from the Chelsea Flower Show.

Its covering responded to live Twitter activity, changing how the garden appeared at any one time.

Organize Twitter Contacts (And So Much More) In Nimble’s Social CRM

How do you manage your online interactions right now? If you’re like me, the answer is probably “not very well.” I create tags in emails and reminders and lists and all that – or I favorite tweets and sometimes email tweets to myself so folks don’t get lost in the chaos that is Twitter.

But along the way, you’ll likely realize (to your horror) that you’ve let various opportunities slip by – and all because “social” isn’t easily organized. Till now.

We’re excited to tell you about a service, a social client relationship management (CRM) that will organize all of your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare and Google+ contacts in ways you’ve only imagined. This social CRM also integrates with your favorite apps like Hootsuite and Evernote (to name my two favs).

And better still? It just released new features – insights, signals and reminders – that will make this site the hub of your digital marketing efforts.

AND, they have a special offer for AllTwitter readers (only the fastest will snag it though, so read this quick!).

And it seems this Twitter user is just that.

‘Twitter Spritzer’ And Other Twittery Things You Forgot Existed

You’re all over Twitter every day and you know all about it, right? Well, maybe you do, maybe you don’t, but (most likely) you don’t have “everything Twitter” at the tip of your tongue every second of the day, particularly if you’re a Twitter marketer and not an app developer.

Either way, we have a quick list for your reference. It’s full of Twittery things you either didn’t know about or heard of before and forgot they existed (like diphthongs). Take a scan so you don’t send out foolish tweets or say something silly the next time you’re “talking Twitter” with the masses.
