<title>Google adds a Twitter timeline to its search </title>
<link>./?r=p/1271337828</link>
<description><![CDATA[

Almost everything you've ever said on Twitter is about to be discoverable through Google.

Google announced plans on Tuesday to roll-out a timeline of archived Twitter messages organised by topic, allowing searchers to see when Twitter activity spiked with tweets related to their search query. When a user clicks on a particular day that contained a large number of tweets related to that topic, they'll be presented with a scrolling list of the individual tweets from that day.

It's similar to the timeline search feature that Google rolled out several years ago, only for tweets. Searchers will be able to start at "right now" at the far right-hand side of the timeline and scroll back through time by moving to the left.]]></description>

<title>µTorrent 2.0 Build 19014 Stable</title>
<link>./?r=p/1271337779</link>
<description><![CDATA[µTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. µTorrent was designed to use as little cpu, space and memory as possible while offering all the functionalites expected from advanced clients. With BitTorrent, you can download files faster and contribute by sharing files and bandwidth. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange. µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 400 KB in size.


Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.]]></description>

<title>Twitter courts outside developers behind its success</title>
<link>./?r=p/1271337722</link>
<description><![CDATA[Twitter is wooing software developers  who have helped the micro-blogging service rocket to worldwide stardom but now face being displaced by the hot company's own creations.

"It is clearly a tension and it is why we are trying to show where we are going," Twitter co-founder Evan Williams said at the start of "Chirp," the San Francisco-based firm's first developers conference.

Williams said it is natural for Twitter and other Internet services to have mixed complementary and competitive relationships with software savants who craft programs building on their technology platforms.

Internet stars including Facebook and Twitter have found success in letting outside developers craft fun, hip or functional programs that enhance basic online offerings.

Twitter has topped 105 million registered users and is adding 300,000 new accounts a day, said co-founder Biz Stone, revealing the figures for the first time since the firm launched in March 2006.

Stone also said that the Twitter.com website receives about 180 million unique visitors a month.

Many users access the service through software applications created by third-party developers and not through Twitter.com.

Applications tied to Twitter were credited with driving 75 percent of traffic to the website, routing three billion requests a day to the firm's servers.

As Twitter grows, it is starting to create its own versions of programs built by third-party developers and buy up firms behind some hot applications.

"What is important is where we are going," Evans told the gathering of nearly 1,000 software developers in the theater of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

"There are thousands of ways to use Twitter that haven't even been imagined yet. There is so much left to invent. It is really early and we can do it together."

On Tuesday, Twitter unveiled a plan to use advertising to turn its massive popularity into profit.

A service called "Promoted Tweets" will allow companies and others to pay to place 140-character-or-less messages known as "tweets" atop pages of search results.

"Promoted tweets are not ads," Twitter chief operating officer Dick Costolo said at the two-day Chirp gathering that runs through Thursday.

"All that exists in our monetization platform are tweets. It is not just about Twitter.com making money, we could have done that a long time ago. It is about the entire ecosystem making money."

Twitter will evenly split revenue after costs from promoted tweets with developers of applications that carry the messages, according to Costolo.

Another part of Twitter's revenue strategy will be paid commercial accounts for businesses wanting to establish brand identities on the service.

"Think of those two as the core pillars," Costolo said. "There will be additional revenue from combinations of those things."

Companies including Best Buy, Bravo, Red Bull, Sony Pictures, Starbucks, and Virgin America, have signed up to take part in the first phase of a promoted tweets program that Twitter is cautiously rolling out.

"There have been a lot of changes with Twitter lately," Williams said. "We've been getting into areas people never thought we would; making money for instance."

Williams announced a new "Points of Interest" feature that provides mini-maps pinpointing which restaurants, bars, parks or other venues "tweets" come from and then letting people see messages from others in those spots.

A panel of venture capitalists grilled on stage painted the friction between Twitter and developers as typical evolution for Internet firms.

Twitter needs to "fill holes" by integrating important features heretofore provided only in the form of applications by outside developers, said venture capitalists Peter Fenton and Bijan Sabet, who are investors in the firm.

"I'm not buying all the feel-good-make-love-not-war thing," Polaris Ventures partner Michael Hirshland said during the exchange.

"Thinking Twitter wouldn't build into the platform is just naive."

Twitter recently released applications for iPhone and Blackberry smartphones and, according to Williams, is working on an "awesome" version for handsets running on Android software spearheaded by Google.

Twitter said its eyes are on growing to half a billion users and that it is leaving lots of fertile ground for developers to make applications.

"There are plenty of opportunities for us," said Loic Le Meur, founder of Seesmic social networking technology startup.]]></description>

<title>Hate Voice-controlled Phone Menus? So Does Intel Exec</title>
<link>./?r=p/1271337702</link>
<description><![CDATA[For anyone who has ever had problems with voice recognition software on phone menus or elsewhere, senior Intel executive David Perlmutter can relate. He says voice and handwriting recognition are among the bigger obstacles to people working more naturally with computers.

"Typing is not necessarily natural," Perlmutter said during an interview at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. Handwriting and voice recognition will make it much easier for people to use computers, he added, but "this seems to be a tougher problem to solve, beyond more capable computing, it's just the algorithms are not good enough."

For voice software, "the real test is recognizing my [Israeli] accent, because I'm talking to all these things on the telephone and I go back to touching," he said.

Work on voice recognition software has been going on for years and a number of applications exist for speech-to-text programs on computers, automated phone systems for banking and airline ticketing, and voice commands for mobile phones and cars.

Voice-recognition technology developer Nuance, for example, sells Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice-to-text software that learns to recognize your voice, while Microsoft has worked with Ford on Sync, a speech recognition software in some cars that allows people to ask for directions, search for music, answer phone calls and more while driving.

A lot of work has been done on phone systems and in mobile phones, such as direct dialing by saying a person's name on a variety of handsets via Google Voice or Nuance VSuite.

Despite years of work, typing is still the main way to input data on most devices.

Perlmutter, co-general manager of the Intel Architecture group and seen as a potential successor for company CEO, believes the human-to-machine interface, beyond voice, will improve in coming years. The world is already moving from text to mouse to touchscreen and "we'll continue to move into more gesture recognition," he said.

"There's a lot of understanding of what you want from gestures, like the way human beings communicate, not just listen to the words, to see also gestures, hand movements, body movements, face," he said. "That's going to get better."

Machine-to-machine interface is also going to get better, "which is really important, so you find out that machines are interacting," Perlmutter said.

But all that still leaves the challenge of voice recognition.]]></description>

<title>Opera says 1 million downloads of iPhone browser Day 1</title>
<link>./?r=p/1271337667</link>
<description><![CDATA[HELSINKI (Reuters) – Opera Software's Internet browser for Apple's iPhone was downloaded more than one million times during the first day when it was available to consumers, the Norwegian firm said on Thursday.

On April 13 Apple accepted distribution of Opera's browser for its iPhone after a long review, opening a new and potentially lucrative market it has so far closely guarded.

"Apple said 'Yes', and iPhone users around the world said, 'Yes, please'," Opera said in a statement.

Opera's browser promises up to six times faster download speeds than Apple's own browser, and to cut data traffic by up to 90 percent.

Massive data traffic from iPhone mobile phones has caused problems for many operators' networks.]]></description>
