Should Journalists Be On Twitter? Three Quarters Of NYTimes Readers Don’t Think So.
Updated: 2009-07-31 16:36:13
Apparently, the New York Times is still unsure whether its reporters should be allowed to Tweet or not. Intrigued by this tweet from writer and consultant Stowe Boyd, I registered for the New York Times' Insight Lab, an online community / focus group made up of Times readers interested in providing the media company with direct feedback.
The homepage features a quick poll asking members if they want to see Times’ reporters and editors on Twitter or not. I guess this is the most pressing issue the New York Times wants to hear from its readers about.
For some reason, close to three quarters of the respondents indicated that they'd prefer if the journalists stay far away from the micro-sharing service. Only 7 percent had no idea what Twitter is. 
Billy Mays was a TV marketing powerhouse. Like many, when I saw Billy Mays on TV, I got a little chuckle at how “over the top” he was. When the show Pitchmen came out, I got a new respect for the hard work and thought which goes into those commercials. And when I got news [...]

The creator of iCombat wrote an analysis of his experience making and giving away a free "lite" version of his app alongside his paid, full version. The result? It makes economic sense to create a lite version early on and update it often to goose the users into downloading - and paying attention to - your app.
His global conversion rate was 9% which meant that a considerable cohort of lite users bought the full version. He discovered a number of best practices for iPhone devs and allowed us to post them here. His most important takeaway? He should have made a lite app much earlier in the game. The conversion rate once the lite app was made available was quite impressive and meant a lot of lost revenue.
Dutch startup Nimbuzz , which bills itself as the "mobile Skype" today releases an IM application for Android phones which ties together multiple messaging tools (Skype, MSM, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, etc.) via a single interface. The Nimbuzz trump card is Skype VOIP. Unfortunately the Android app doesn't yet include this but it is available in the iPhone app. The Android application also supports many local social networks like Hyves (dominant in the Netherlands) and a nifty time-sensitive user interface which does things like detecting how long a user presses on a contact; a quick click opens the contact's profile while a long click opens a chat window. Nimbuzz has also released to us the results of a survey of 21,000 users which reveals some interesting differences in how people in different parts of the world communicate.
