Social Media News - Day's End (part one)
Hey, hey gang! Miss me? I'm working on rolling out a new blog that will have an easier to navigate format! Hooray! But I'm stil on the hunt for passionate guest blog writers... Know anyone?
In the meantime, here's part one in the latest on Social Media today:
Twitter's up. Oh no, it's down... Wait... oh, wow... @ev throws a Hail Mary server pass to @biz and the crowd all watches intently...
Rumor Alert: Apple is reportedly working on an iPhone/iTouch app that would bring FM Radio to these devices. It's all about multiple revenue streams, folks. And notice how Apple seems to have more "rumors" floating around than any other company (Tech or otherwise). Me thinks that's not a coincidence...
Did you hear about the NASA Tweetup?? That's right - NASA is inviting all of it's fans on Twitter to a space shuttle launch Tweetup! On Nov. 11 and 12, the first 100 people to register at NASA's website will be allowed on site at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I think that's a great way to marry daily biz with social media! If you're in Florida, and want to go, registration opens up on October 16th and I'd imagine 100 spots will go faster than you can say "tweet."
Yesterday, Microsoft released another slew of security updates/patches/fixes - some for Windows 7. It was the six year anniversary of so-called "Patch Tuesday."
"Since moving to a monthly schedule in October 2003, Microsoft has released about 400 security bulletins based on an informal count of releases in its bulletin archives. The bulletins address about 745 vulnerabilities across almost every Microsoft product."
230 of these bulletins addressed issues that Microsoft deemed "critical." No one is surprised by any of these numbers, I don't think. But the real question is - how is that Windows 7 hasn't even been released yet, and still it needed patches and fixes already? Do they not have a quality department on-site?? I'm just sayin'.
More to come tonight!
