October 4th, 2009 I was playing around with the twitter API and I found a way to find the exact number of Twitter users. Note: The number of twitter users is continuously increasing by dozens every second, however it will still be accurate at the time of this writing for the higher order digits.

Twitter rejected the offer for several reasons: And they can be, At Facebook's real valuation, $5 billion or so, the offer only amounted to $150 million (not bad for two-year old company with no revenue, but a far cry from the billion-dollar dream) Twitter has high hopes for its own secret revenue model which will be announced next year.

April 28th, 2009 With any exciting updates comes a note of precaution. Take Twitter for an example.

June 30th, 2009 Managing new Twitter notifications and direct messages is a hassle that aggravates with Twitter's interface. To match this you would need a tool that could revamp the new follow notifications and adding support for following back and relying to direct messages via email.

April 3rd, 2009 Washingtonpost today has just brought in a heck of a rumor that Google may be in the last stage of acquiring Twitter. No one knows the price or exact transactional details yet, nor there is any official source to that, but its said that the deal may be well over $250 Million.

January 21st, 2009 Twitter and Orkut have attracted millions of people in the world into social networking. To each, its own.
