I was having some fun for country building games call Tribez on my iPad, one of the feature is if you connect your social network  ( Facebook or Twitter ) you will get some crystal which are part of the in-game currency.

I thought it should be no harm for just connect and it seem like there is a share button after each quest complete , I assume that the social network sharing will done manually , after connect my social network account and playing for another 10 minutes , checking on my Facebook and Twitter, it flood with all the in games news, it seem like that games is trying to get viral by doing all these auto posting.

As usual  ( it seem pretty typical tactic for all the freemium games now day ) I want to stop the auto posting and delete all post & tweets , but I can’t find any options for it ? for Facebook , I use to found these options on the applications tabs but it seem like no longer there , on the twitter side , the usual page for apps that I authorize also nothing found, how am I going to disable all these auto post ?

It turn out that now day no longer need to tweak the setting on the individual social network ,  all these settings can be tweak on the iPad , for example for Facebook , you just navigate to Settings on iOS , there should be a Facebook section, you will see apps that you allow to use your account. Turn if off and the games unable to auto post any news to your Facebook account any more.

ipad-fb

Same setting apply for twitter too, just disable it and no longer having any auto posting on your twitter account.

ipad-twitter

once you pause the app to do auto posting , now you can start clean up all the auto posting on your Twitter and Facebook, I like the game but I don’t like being spam like this.

Today Twitter is doing massive interface upgrade on their iOS ,Mobile Web , Web , Android clients, from what I can see the iOS and Mobile Web version seem like identical , but so far base on the conversion on my twitter, it seem like lots of negative feedback.

But I like the web version interface so far , in stead of cartoonish like last time , now is looks like a more polish product, below the new twitter login/sign-up page, looks stunning right ?

 

and this is the actual interface after you login. You have 3 tabs on top , Home, Connect and Discover.

  • Home – this is the default page of your twitter ,  it’s reverse from the old version, now the tweets is on the right and the left navigation will be your account info, trends and recommendation.
  • Connect – this include both interactions and mentions, interactions seem like include mentions and who has follow you recently.
  • Discover – Stories seem like popular topic , activity is about what happen on the person you follow , recommend who to follow, find friend and Category all under this tab.
So how to get on the new twitter ? one of the rumor say you just download the new twitter client and login in , this will activate your web version to get the new interface faster, I m not really sure for this but I did follow these steps and few hour later I got saw the new interface appear ! but for my iPhone , I think Tweetbot remain as THE twitter client for me.

So far do you like the new Twitter ?

So far since Tweetbot release , there are lots of discussion on it, just want to share some of the great UX of this nice twitter client.

1. Pulling down to refresh , there is indicator showing and telling when is your last update

2.There will be small notification how many new tweets after you push to refresh.

3. Click on the Timeline button , you can select your twitter list and checking tweets on those list.

4. When you click on tweet , the hyper link will auto highlight and action bar show.

5. On a single tweet , swipe to left is Conversation , swipe to right is Related Tweets.

All these tiny thing add score for this wonder twitter client, so far after I start using Tweetbot, I have not longer use the official client. There are one only problem which is there are no notification setting for Tweetbot , you can pair it with Boxcar , if you really need the notification feature. Currently Tweetbot are selling at promotion price $1.99 , get it now before it increase the price.

I was at the airport last week , while waiting for the boarding time , I just turn on my laptop and doing some surfing , understand that the power of firesheep , I carefully visit site with the secure url , meaning make sure I visit the site starting by HTTPS .

  • Gmail – checked  , it use https by default.
  • Facebook – checked , it redirect you and use https too.
  • Twitter –  ….

I not sure why but I can’t surf the twitter with https properly , it might be my browser problem , or the connection problem , in the end I just give up to use the web-based twitter.

Today Twitter announced that they added the setting in your profile page , this will force to use https by default when you login through the browser.

How to turn on this ? just go to Settings -> Account  and you will be able to see the last option is for HTTPS Only , checked it and save. Do take note that this does not affect 3rd party twitter client, this might be one of the reason for Don’t Try To Compete With Us On Clients .

One of the biggest changes for 2010 is how I communicate with others, in term of the tools/applications that I used. I seldom on my pesonal IM ( Instant Messenger ) this year and I m more into Twitter and Facebook.I would say in stead of waiting for my IM to prompt and ask me something , how about Facebook me or Twitter Me ? that should be faster.

One of the great example is other then communicate with Tech person on Twitter, I recently start to communicate with my brother , his friend and my wife together on Twitter , some time we tweet about World of Warcraft, some time we discuss about ebook reader, I find that communicate in this way is much better then on IM.

  1. It allow everyone to join in conversation, some time I just rant about something and all your friend are join in to discuss the issue you have.
  2. It allow information sharing , example I saw my brother and his friend was tweet about Kobo , I give it a try and start to buy ebook from kobo too.
  3. It is not required real time respond like IM , we expect there is delay when we communicate on Twitter, When we discuss on IM, very often we are waiting for the reply and want the reply ASAP.

Another example now day when I want to know what happen recently of my friend, I just get into Facebook and check on their profile will do. There is no need to phone call and force the other party to answer the call ,without knowing hows their mood ? or trying to IM your friend , started the conversation and don’t know how to continue ?

So does these social network application change the way of your communication in 2010 ?

I didn’t use any desktop application for Twitter so far , I refuse to keep receive notification by Twitter on every update , I prefer to read the tweets when I feel like to , that’s why I been using Brizzly as my twitter web client.

This explain why I like the #NewTwitter , it looks like a new web client for Twitter and enhance the User Experience and Usability too.

As you can see the #NewTwitter Interface become 2 column , on the left will be your usual timeline, on the left it will show the related info on the highlight tweets, example user’s bio that mention in the tweets , tweets that mention about the user and the latest tweets from the user, user that reply this tweet, user that retweet this tweet and etc.

If only Twitter is adding the preview feature, which mean if is an image url, the smaller version image will show on the right column, if is a shorten url, it will expand to the actual url on the right column, if is a video url , you can just play it on the right column.

Twitter just announce the new @Anywhere platform last week , follow by this is the launching of their developer portal , finally an official dev portal to replace the twitter api wiki. After browsing around the new developer portal ,i find this is really a great place for twitter developer, what include for this portal are the API documentation , API status dashboard , API testing console and Application management, this should give developer a better control for their application development.

So what is this new @Anywhere platform ?

It seem like Facebook connect to me, which empower your website with some of the Facebook feature after adding few line of JavaScript. @Anywhere  allow you to integrate some of the Twitter feature after you added Twitter’s JavaScript .Once you include their JavaScript, you can turn on these Twitter feature on your site.

  • Auto-linkification of Twitter usernames
  • Hovercards
  • Follow buttons
  • Tweet Box
  • User login & signup

If you prefer to see a live example, Google release Google Follow Finder which power by @Anywhere.After you submitted your Twitter username, the system will return you two group of user:

  • Tweeps you might like – this is just like the recommendation engine on amazon, people who bought this book also bought that book, so we recommend that book to you style.
  • Tweeps with similar followers – these are Twitter user which have similar follower list to you.

Each Twitter user will be render nicely like the image above, by clicking on the follow button, you can immediately follow the user, that’s the power of @Anywhere.I believe that we should be able to see more interesting application release soon.

Since yesterday the new facebook lite is out for preview, just login your facebook account and visit the new url , what you will see will be a simplified version of facebook.

facebook-lite

like most of the people say , this changes is aim on twitter , i bet most of the user will like the clean n simple interface , what i miss the most will be the filter feature, there are no way to filter the post in the lite mode , which mean i will see all the story , page update, status in 1 screen , which is quite messy . I wonder if only display your friend status only will be a good idea ? anyway this is the facebook lite screen shot and i have added some comment.

There are quite a few services that allow you to share photo through twitter , one of the famous service will be Twitpic , but all these services are going to have some major challenge , because flickr has launch flickr2twitter service, which allow flickr user to post their photo to twitter, just like how they post it to their blog.

So how does flickr2twitter work ? first add your twitter account on the usual blogs configuration page.

flickr_-add_twitter

authenticate your twitter account through oauth, this will allow flickr to post photo to your twitter account. Just browse through your photo as usual, when you decide to post one particular photo, just select blog this.

flickr_tweet_this

you only allow to inset 116 char, because it reserve some space for the short url of the photo, the shorten url is using flic.kr domain, it seem like a special shorten url for flickr only.

flickr2twitter

that’s it, now i can see the tweets with the photo url showing on my twitter account, simple and straightforward. Simple interface + shorten url + big fan base , that’s why i say the rest of twitter photo sharing service is going to facing some problem, i wonder will there be stat to read on the flickr shorten url ?
