Mother’s Day is Sunday and the least you should do is call your mother - said Twitter. The social media site issued a witty public service announcement boasting about Twitter’s sharing platform quickly after Google’s Mother’s Day tribute this week.

Hopefully moms everywhere will enjoy breakfast in bed, a steady stream of thank-you’s and family fun. While moms are enjoying these and many other Mother’s Day traditions, it’s a safe bet they’ll also sneak a peek at Twitter. After all, moms (and moms-to-be) are doing everything from securing Twitter accounts for their babies to live-tweeting their C-sections to sharing funny motherhood experiences.

But even as much as moms love Twitter, we know that mom loves you the most.

While Google opted for a sweet, syrupy promotion for Google Plus, Twitter opted to tell users that social media doesn’t replace everything. That said, if you don’t have time to visit your Mom this Sunday, video hangouts with her on Google Plus is pretty great every day. Click here to compare the two ads. Read more

Tweetwall, a company that lets organizations project a live Twitter feed on a wall for clients like CNN, eBay and Microsoft, has launched a new iPad app that will allow anyone to create their own “tweetwall.”

The Tweetwall iPad app uses Apple’s Digital AV adapter or AirPlay to allow you to display content from your event on a TV or through a projector.

Here is more from the app’s listing in iTunes: “To make your life just a bit easier, the iPad app supports geolocation allowing you to be just one tap away from viewing your Tweetwall (you need to provide the venue address during the setup for your Tweetwall). You can also search for events.” (Via TechCrunch).

Twitter’s music discovery app is finally here so you can join the likes of Moby or Jason Mraz in singing (or tweeting) its praises.

The mobile and web app is similar to the Hype Machine:

Today, we’re releasing Twitter #music, a new service that will change the way people find music, based on Twitter. It uses Twitter activity, including Tweets and engagement, to detect and surface the most popular tracks and emerging artists. It also brings artists’ music-related Twitter activity front and center: go to their profiles to see which music artists they follow and listen to songs by those artists. And, of course, you can tweet songs right from the app.

Users on iTunes can only hear song previews so log in to Spotify and Rdio to hear full songs. Read more

Twitter is orchestrating a major launch of its newest venture with help from celebrities and a fairly quiet webpage. Twitter is expected to use technology from its latest acquisition, music start-up We Are Hunted, to drive its standalone platform.

Many websites are reporting that the app would launch today, but it appears that the media giant will wait until this weekend to make an announcement during the music festival Coachella. Meanwhile, Twitter has enlisted the aid of pop culture icon Ryan Seacrest to spread the good word:

lovin the app…shows what artists are trending, also has up and coming artists… spinning u now @frankturner

Twitter is getting into the music streaming business. The social networking company has agreed to acquire the San Francisco-based music streaming startup We are Hunted, in a deal whose terms were not disclosed.

The company is shutting down wearehunted.com, but the We are Hunted team will continue to create music services under the Twitter brand name.

Here is more from the We are Hunted blog: “There’s no question that Twitter and music go well together. Artists turn to Twitter first to connect with fans, and people share and discover new songs and albums every day. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on at Twitter.”

Founders of the Tribeca Film Festival Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal are bringing the moving pictures experience to digital audiences via video streaming and a huge support for Vines. This year is the first year in which the festival have opened up a public competition in search of the best Vine, and De Niro has some positive words to say on the medium despite not being a regular user:

Six seconds of beginning, middle and end. I was just trying to time on my iPhone six seconds just to get a sense of what that is. It can actually be a long time. One one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand, four one-thousand, five one-thousand, six one-thousand – you can tell a whole story in six seconds. Read more

Computer Scientists from the University of Vermont have concluded that, “Expressed happiness increases logarithmically with distance from an individual’s average location.” In other words, Twitter users are happier the farther they are from home.

The researchers analyzed 37 million tweets from 180,000 users in 2011with public location feature enabled. Most users gravitate between “home” and “work” which accounted for their average location. There was a notable lack of negative words like “hate” when users were further from home at restaurants or beaches. One surprising finding was about laughter (“hahaha”) – it was more inherent when users were closer to home.
