Check Out ExecTweets
Monday, March 23, 2009
Last year we created an interesting site for the US Presidential election. It looked a lot like Twitter but it was focused around the candidates, the debates, and the political topics being discussed. Lots of really great API projects have created similar experiences from the hilarious Cursebird to the sporty Twackle. Twitter is contacted regularly by brands interested in sponsoring innovative experiences based on topics of interest.However, our focused commitment to Twitter itself means we don't have much time or resources to build these interesting topical experiences.

Get your questions answered @ChaCha
Monday, April 14, 2008
I heard about the answer-service ChaCha a couple weeks ago. The first question I asked it was "Would a veggie burrito make a good lunch?" A couple minutes later, I got a response that said "A veggie burrito would make an excellent lunch. It's fast and cheap and vegetarian to boot." Now that's the kind of reinforcement I need!
Well now ChaCha is available via Twitter. You can read about the integration on their site. But it's pretty simple:- Follow the Twitter user ChaCha
- Send your question as an @ reply (e.g. "@chacha Does it matter if the soil is wet or dry before re-potting a houseplant?")
- A couple minutes later you'll get your answer ("@goldman Let the pot go dry. With your fist, bang the bottom of the old pot and the plant, root ball and all, will come out intact.")
