I really like this idea - applying Creative Commons style icons to business plans. Clarity and understanding are the ultimate goals of any business plan.

Twidl.it HQ has been buzzing the past few days for a big big splash next week. We will call it ver 0.9 since it will be all about the user experience. the big 1.0 will be when mobile access is enabled and the editor leveled up.  So for Dharma, watch out for the following;

• New login system!
• Front page revamped.
• NEW dashboard!
• Userpage evolved
• and small little tweaks to pages

We will start the buzz next week so finally more people will be able to hear about Twidl it!

onforty.com is a twitter app directory with tons of cool features for both Twitter enthusiasts and developers. Naturally, we listed Twidl it over there at this link:

http://oneforty.com/item/twidl-it

Please rate and leave an honest review. WE will appreciate it by dancing while chanting your twitter username.

New FEATURES! the late part of the COOLIO update. Here are the latecomers.

RETWIDL - remix a twidl by reusing the image and adding your own version. Think you can do a funnier, better or awesome-r twidl? Now, you can!

Sources - This will automatically determine where the image came from. We love to give credit where credit is due so made it automatic for you! :)

Delete - you can now delete a twidl on your activity stream in your dashboard.

Sorry we are late but some interesting stuff happened along the way here and we lost two packages namely the dashboard updates and retwidling. You 1/3 of the development force had to take leave. Fortunately, its for a very joyous reason -he became a father! So congrats to Mark Twidl and his wife for a healthy baby. Unto the updates.

• Likes! you can now like a twidl. Show a twidler some love. When you like a twidl, it will appear in the reaction list below along with the comments and faves.
• Faves! If you really like a twidl you can fave it. ITs like a bookmark. a new Faved tab will be appearing in your dashboard soon so you can keep track of new comments, likes, faves and retwidls on your faved twidls.
• FIXED: no more duplicate @mentions of yourself when you comment on your own twidl.
• Some design tweaks on the sidebar, tags are now highlighted. and some of the buttons on the twidl page have been reshuffled.
• URL in tweets are now iconized to solve a long-form url problem. ITs a very early version and it will be  improved later.
• colors of elements in a tweet are tweaked for visibility.
• Community page are now slightly improved.

The next update will be named Dashing and will be all about the dashboard and editor enhancements. :)

me likey!

staff:

After several weeks of parsing through your feedback and making adjustments, the new Dashboard nav is up!

Just two things to note:

• To fix the issue with unnecessary unread counts on blogs you’re already following, we now only show unread counts for private blogs.
• We’re about to totally overhaul the Directory, along with the Activity page and Tumblarity which power it. In preparation, we’ve taken both of these pages offline while we make changes. More soon!

One of our core features here at Twidl.it is to make sharing of twidls very easy. One of the components of this is the retweet button. There are two notable competitors in this space. Tweetmeme and Topsy. I will recount why we chose the former.

++ people are already familiar with it therefore it will likely be used by viewers
- the default url is too long (thankfully you can use bit.ly)
+ the buttons look nice beside facebook share button (topsy has the same color as FB)
+++ the traffic to their site is above 1m
+ the intent of tweetmeme.com’s audience is to DISCOVER things to view. topsy SEARCHES for specific stuff.
- tweetmeme’s api allows 3rd party to integrate analytics. (not sure if topsy supports this)

WINS!

next match: wibliya vs meebo bar!

A couple of points regarding the article;

• the chart is US only. How come everytime Facebook traffic is measure its global then Twitter is US only.
• Would be more interesting to see global trends
• As many social media/tech watchers have pointed out. Twitter is protocol-like in the sense that a LOT of apps and website access it thru their API, those traffic are not accounted for
• The chart is a more accurate metric for measuring new users in the US which is stagnating.

A more salient point is how the new Retweet, List and stability has failed to impact growth in the US. I am willing to bet that API firehose open to all, localizations and more creative apps like our http://twidl.it will be better drivers of long-term user growth.
