Online social networking service and microblogging service Twitter Joining the Linux Foundation.

From Pcworld:

Following in the footsteps of Broadcom, Nvidia, and Samsung--all of which joined the nonprofit consortium recently--none other than Twitter will announce on Tuesday that it is joining the foundation as well.

“Linux and its ability to be heavily tweaked is fundamental to our technology infrastructure,” said Chris Aniszczyk, manager of open source for the social networking giant. “By joining the Linux Foundation we can support an organization that is important to us and collaborate with a community that is advancing Linux as fast as we are improving Twitter.”

Twitter's Aniszczyk will deliver a keynote entitled “The OSS Behind a Tweet” at the foundation's LinuxCon conference in San Diego next week.

Here's the apps that would help you on how to remove all tweets on twitter at one command.

Try TwitWipe apps. TwitWipe is a tool to wipe or delete all your tweets in one go. You may need to do this to start over, to clean it out before handing the account over to someone else, or maybe you've just realised how shitty your tweets are. And all this is free.

Think more times before you take away of your tweet in your account.

You can't get your tweets back. There's no undo button. I don't want to make TwitWipe back up tweets, because that sounds lame.

How To Use (TwitWipe) Application?

1. Visit TwitWipe Login page.

2. In the right there is an option to grant access to TwitWipe application. You need to grant TwitWipe access to your Twitter account.
3. After the second step, at the same place where the grant access to TwitWipe application link appeared, there will now be a link named “Start Wiping”. Click on Start Wiping.

4. It will now ask you to confirm your decision.There are two options “Yeah!” or “No!!” If you have decided to delete all tweets click on Yeah or if you don’t want to delete your tweets, you can click on No and go back always!

About signing in: TwitWipe uses oAuth, so you don’t need to give out your password for this to happen. Although it’s very unlikely that you’d have to worry about even if it did ask you for the password, because it is, you know, deleting all your tweets! What’s the worst that could happen?

Twitter has landed a site called Twitter Stories. This site is intended to take things interesting and touching hearts as told via Twitter by its users.

Some examples of stories that exist on the site including the one tweet that helps a bookstore of bankruptcy, an athlete who invites his followers to have dinner together, the Japanese fishermen who use Twitter to sell their catch before it reached the harbor.

Twitter says that every story reminds us of the existence of humanity behind the tweet messages that exist, so make the world feel more cramped.

Do you have a Twitter Story to share? Tell us how you or someone else have used Twitter in an interesting way. Submit your story by mentioning @twitterstories or by using the hashtag #twitterstories.

After Facebook garnered more than 1 trillion pageviews per month, now it’s Google+ to mark 50 million users in 88 days – Google+ record fastest growing social media network ever. On September 20th, company announced its first API and made it openly available for all internet users to sign-up.

In a new Google+ post from Paul Allen, who has been tracking the user growth rate of the service with his own mathematical formula, he claims that Google+ likely broke the 50 million user mark on Sunday. He states, " ... since being opened to the general public (over age 18) last week, Google+ has been growing by at least 4 (percent) per day, meaning that around 2 million new users have been signing up each day."

Time to reach 50 million users

Google+	Facebook	Twitter	Myspace	LinkedIn
88 Days	1325 Days	1096 Days	1046 Days	2354 Days

I really love Gplus. The only reason I don't spend too much time on it is because most of my friends are still on Facebook.

Twitter surpass 100 million Active Users Twitter reveals it has 100m active users Service says it averages 230m tweets a day and its website has 400 million monthly browsers in flurry of fresh statistics.

Qouted from labnol.org “OpenDNS, one of the most popular DNS services on the Internet, is frequently used by parents and organizations to block websites that they think are inappropriate for children or may hamper productivity at the workplace.”

A website/site is a depository of information destined for public or private use, usually residing in a remote server. When a computer terminal calls the website (using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol) the server responds by sending the information requested back to the user.

The list includes social networking sites (Facebook.com, MySpace.com, Twitter.com) and adult websites (Redtube.com, Pornhub.com and Playboy.com) as usual but the presence of two major advertising networks on that list suggests people do have their share of privacy concerns.
Here’s the full list of constantly blacklisted sites from OpenDNS. Percentages indicate the proportion of OpenDNS networks using blacklisting that reference a given site.

1. Facebook.com —14.2%
2. MySpace.com — 9.9%
3. YouTube.com — 8.1%
4. Doubleclick.net — 6.4%
5. Twitter.com — 2.3%
