Yahoo’s Twitter – Yahoo Meme
For a long time Yahoo was in Search Engine business but now they are in Twitter business too. Yeah its true Yahoo inc is making a clone of Twitter named Yahoo Meme. The word meme is popular among bloggers and they used to tag people on this meme posts.
Still the English version of the site is under alpha version (that means only the inside developers and testing team will get to test). We can hope in near future Yahoo will release the product in beta (Where external users will be allowed to test).
You can register your email address for beta testers list. I’ve already done so. Once the product is available or opened for the public we can have another post here about the pros and cons about Yahoo Meme.
Some sites are telling Yahoo Meme will have more features than Twitter where you get to upload pictures along with your Meme (You can’t call it Twit 
) and instead of a avatar you can have 100 character text.
Lets wait and see how the Yahoo going to acquire micro blogging market.
Another Way to Make Money with Twitter
Twitter is still not sure about how to make good amount of money from their site. Still they’re trying to figure it out, but Twitter users are already found handful of methods to monetise their account. Now you can find handful of Twitter applications. It was made possible after Twitter opened the twitter feed to third-party application through API. Twitter monetising was born through this same API.
Earlier I wrote a post on five ways to make money from your Twitter account. There I’ve talked about five methods such as selling your Twitter profile space, selling Ads on your twitter feed and also I told you that there is some Twitter who’s even sold their Twitter account in EBay.
There is one point I told you about becoming a Pro-Twitter and give access to followers after getting some payment from them. But if you’re to offer that service you’ll have to set-up your own payment gateway or you should go for third party gateways such as PayPal or 2CO.
TwitPub
By knowing above mentioned hassles TwitPub has been introduced to cater the demand for Pro-Twitters. If you’re to become a Pro-Twitter then possibly it’s the most potential service for you.
Check out this Video about TwitPub
But I have doubt; will you pay some money for a Pro-Twit???? Because I won’t! Many people have criticised it. Most of the categories are still empty. Hope they’ll have a good time and Pro-Twitter concept will become possible. We’ll have to wait and see.
I personally suggest you to have a look @ the ebook Make Money on Twitter. you’ll learn first what Twitter is, and then how it may be used to secure your financial freedom.
Update Twitter and Facebook Status Together
Twitter got an API to update status from various applications such as Twitterfox. Most potential social network siteFacebook is also providing status update via API.
I’m a fan of both Twitter and Facebook. I was just wondering why I can’t update both Twitter and Facebook together. If I update Facebook, it should update on Twitter and if I update Twitter, it should be updated on Facebook.
I was digging around and found this Facebook application. This application is available from Twitter’s web site and I’m sure you can rely on it.
Twitter Application itself a good self explainer, therefore you have nothing to worry. You can try and figure out what’s happening around. Good luck Twitters. Have fun with Twitter application for Facebook.
Facebook is now Twitter
Facebook is so desperate to become a one solution point for the needs of a typical internet user. They’ve incorporated Photo sharing feature (to compete against flickr, photobucker, imagestack etc.), Video uploading feature (YouTube, Yahoo Video, DailyMotion etc.), and thousands of applications to meet the requirements of a user.
Later they’ve done several initiations to copy twitter. On top of all they’ve announced API for status update in Facebook. Now they’ve come up with a interface which is much similar to Twitter.
It seems not only Chinese manufactures who copy products from rightful without owner without their approval. Even Facebook does.
Even Google gets addicted to Twitter
Twitter is reaching everywhere. Another Internet giant opened a Twitter account. You may wonder who that giant is. He is none other than Google!
Beside their main Twitter account they’ve opened several sub account for each Google products such as Youtube, Blogger etc. 
Check out them
* YouTube, which has more than 14,000 followers
* Blogger, which answers many questions from users
* Google Reader, which share useful tricks for using the feed reader more effectively
* Google Apps, a feed that shares articles about the evolution of Google’s software-as-a-service business
* App Engine – a not-so-frequently updated list of Google App Engine news.

Receive Twitter Alerts on Sri Lankan Mobiles
Some time back Twitter stop offering SMS alerts to most of the countries. Many people were angry over this move of twitter. Twitter’s argument was Cost cutting, which is a slogan to most of the IT companies these days.
Sri Lankan users never had a feature to receive SMS alert from twitter, therefore we had no problem with the move of Twitter.
Developers at tew2.com, took it as a challenge and offering Twitter alerts as SMS. Their service has wide coverage including Sri Lanka.
Yesterday I tried and got my self registered with twe2.com. When you register in their site you don’t have to register with a separate user ID, you need register with Twitter user ID and password.
Once you registered with twe2.com, they’ll send you an activation code to your mobile. Give the activation code to twe2 site and activate your account. Thereafter you can receive alerts whenever someone sends you a direct message or a reply.
In your dashboard you can restrict the number of SMS to receive per hour, messages you received by SMS and some more SMS stats.
When I first heard about this facility, I was wondering how they monetise this feature. Answer is they embed advertisement in the SMS they sent. I don’t mind receiving SMS with an advertisement as long as I receive free SMS from twe2.com. They also should earn some money. I completely understand it.
Normally we don’t get this kind of feature to Sri Lanka. Most of the time we are left behind or over shadowed by Indian market It’s so good that twe2 has recognised small markets like Sri Lanka.
I tested it with Dialog, hope it’s working with other networks too. Some people are not receiving confirmation code. This is the explanation given by twe2.com
Unfortunately we don’t have any control on when the Mobile Network actually sends you the message so if there is a delay then its out of our control. This may vary country to country and Mobile Network to Mobile Network.
I’m glad I’m a lab rat in twe2.com (As per Chanux )

Pomegranate – an iPhone Killer
Pomegranate is a powerful hand held phone that going to kick on the ass of iPhone. I just got the link to Pomegranate on Twitter in John Reese’s Twit. Design is stunning and eye catchy. I’m sure gadget lovers gonna be crazy about this stuff.
Dazzling interface of Pomegranate
These are some interesting stuffs I need to point out
Global Voice Translator
It translates 50 Languages. Say you wanna speak with your French friend, all you need to do is speak on this phone on English, and it’ll automatically translate and speak out in French for your friend from the speaker in the rear. You French friend can do the same thing.
Most of us are still wondered about web based translation tool. Obviously it’s an awesome feature. Personal translator got a real big problem. In near future political leaders can bring this phone instead of a beautiful translator lady.
Shave while you travel
There is a razer attached to the phone. You don’t have to spend time on wash-room to shave your beard. You can do it while you’re on the run. Ladies can use it to shave the hairs on the hands and legs.
Shave and talk while you on the street. Cool huh?

OMG you can now even make coffee with your phone. All you need to do is insert a flavor to your phone and use the phone and it’ll suck the water inside and make you a coffee.
Harmonica
You can play music with your phone. When you’re tired and stressed you can play music, as you play mouth organ.
Doesn’t it ring bell? Yes exactly they are fooling us by showing this wonderful site. Lol It took some time for me to find this out. Its your time to fool your friend.
So what is this? Well, it’s not a mobile device. It’s an advertisement for Nova Scotia…
The Pomegranate phone is part of the Nova Scotian government’s “Come to Life” viral marketing campaign. Nova Scotia has been criticized for spending $300,000 on the ad campaign, though the website received around 150,000 hits after a month, and they are considering it to be very successful.

5 Ways to Monetize Your Twitter Account
Yesterday I come to know that I’m the third most ELITE twitter user in Sri Lanaka . Here I’m going to write a post on 5 ways to monetize your Twitter account.
I personally suggest you to have a look @ the ebook Make Money on Twitter. You’ll learn first what Twitter is, and then how it may be used to secure your financial freedom.
1. Advertise on Twitter
You can sell space on Twitter profile and make some money out of it. I recently come to know about two sites which will help you to monotize your Twitter account. Check out the sites
Rumbling Lankan has written a post on How to find advertisers for your Twitter profile.
2. Pro-Twitter
You can allow followers only after they paying some fee. This method is not possible unless you’re a popular figure in a niche. For example say, you’re a well known Internet marketer and you start Twitter account and make twits. You only allow members who paid to follow your twits.
If you’re a popular figure then you’ll have enough followers. Check out about TwitPub which is made for Pro-Twitters.
3. Use it to Promote your products
Use Twitter to promote your products. If you’re an e-book seller then use twitter and promote your eBooks on Twitter. It does works when you have enormous number of followers.
Promote your blogs and get more traffic to your blog. More traffic more money
Also you can use Twitter to promote your affiliate products to make money online.
4. Pay Per Twit
You contact the advertisers directly and you come to an agreement where they’ll pay you for each Twit. This will work when you’re a popular and known Twitter.
5. Sell your account on Ebay
This may sound ridiculous to you but there are people who sold their Twitter account for $500 even. So don’t give up work on it.
As I always say, you can’t make money out of nothing. You need dedication and it’ll take some time to generate money online. Don’t give up keep on trying. One day you can make enough money online.
I make around $100 – $150 per month from several sources. I gave you these figures just to inspire you. Remember this amount is kept on increasing every month.
We’ll soon meet in another Make money online tutorial.
