Do You Know the Twitter Limits and Restrictions?

Monday November 30, 2009

Did you know there are limits on the number of people you follow, the number of tweets you publish, and the number of direct messages you get and send via Twitter?

In an attempt to limit spam and ensure the Twitter user experience is positive for everyone, Twitter has several restrictions in place that users must adhere to. Just as the 140-character tweet limit is intended to streamline the microblogging experience on Twitter, additional limitations are intended to keep Twitter running smoothly and reduce down time.

You can follow the link to get all the details about Twitter limits and restrictions to ensure you fully understand them and aren't surprised one day when you suddenly can't tweet anymore!

Blogger in Your Words

Tuesday November 24, 2009

Last month, Blogger asked users to submit the best words that they felt describe the Blogger application today and the best words to describe the Blogger application they'd like to be able to use in the future.

The results are in, and Blogger has published both the current and future words describing the application in word clouds. You can check both word clouds out here.

The most interesting thing to me from these word clouds are the following:

  • Today, Blogger is considered easy to use, fun, free and friendly, but the word 'limited' also shows up as a common thread among users.
  • In the future, Blogger users want more flexibility, customization, and integration, but they don't want to sacrifice ease-of-use.

These are very clear messages from the Blogger user community. Let's wait and see if Blogger listens to the wants and needs that users are making loud and clear.

What do you think? Leave a comment and share your top word to describe Blogger now and your top word to describe the Blogger you want in the future.
