Apple Acquires "Topsy" for $200million - Access To Twitter Archives From 2006!

Apple acquires the social media analytics company "Topsy" earlier today. The latest move by Apple is being closely watched as it can now get better off its competitors by understanding the market and the comments are also arriving for Apple's move to learn more close details on twitter.

Apple paid more than $200 million for Topsy, the Journal said. The company provides a range of tools to make sense of data across the social Web and use it to divine consumer sentiment. For example, marketers can use Topsy's tools to measure the success of ad campaigns, identify thoughts and opinions over time, and search and analyze hashtags across years of online chatter.

Topsy is one of the few companies which does have "firehose" access to twitter, that is the full stream of tweets posted to the service. Other competing companies with access include DataSift and Gnip, which analyze and resell the data to customers, the Journal noted.

Topsy has a huge amount of Twitter data at its fingertips. Earlier this year the company announced that it had indexed Twitter's complete archive of public tweets dating back to 2006. That data could let Apple make better use of online social activity in its product development, as companies such as Facebook do now.

Twitter All Set To Go Public - Files S1 to SEC

Twitter Inc has filed for an initial public offering with U.S. regulators, the company said on Thursday, taking the first step toward what would be Silicon Valley's most anticipated debut since Facebook Inc's last year.

The impending IPO of the microblogging phenomenon ignited a competition among Wall Street's biggest names for the prestige of managing its coming-out party.

Goldman Sachs is lead underwriter, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday, which is a major coup for the Wall Street bank.

Twitter filed for an IPO confidentially under a 2012 law intended to help emerging corporations with less than $1 billion in revenue go public.

Seven-year old Twitter, which allows users to send out streams of 140-character messages, has become an indispensable tool to governments, corporations and celebrities seeking to communicate with their audience, and for individuals seeking both news and entertainment.

Chief Executive Dick Costolo has for years waved off suggestions it intended to go public, saying the company remained flush with cash. Facebook's mismanaged 2012 debut and subsequent share-price plunge also chilled the consumer-dotcom IPO market.

Facebook, however, has clawed its way back to its $38 IPO price in July, and the stock is at a record high after touching $45 this week.

Twitter, which has been valued by private investors at more than $10 billion, should break even this year and is on track for 40 per cent annual growth at a $1 billion annual revenue run rate, Max Wolff of Greencrest Capital estimated.

"It's completely conquered mobile. It has an enormous social network. It's becoming a key utility as a second screen to TV and it's literally the first draft of history," Wolff said.

"Normally a company like Twitter would have been public for some time," he said.

Since Jack Dorsey, Twitter's inventor, dispatched the first tweet from a downtown San Francisco office in March 2006, the service has grown into a worldwide phenomenon with more than 200 million regular users contributing more than 400 million posts a day.

Syrian Electronic Army hacks Media Giants and Twitter

Media companies including the New York Times, Twitter and the Huffington Post lost control of some of their websites Tuesday after hackers supporting the Syrian government breached the Australian Internet company that manages many major site addresses.

SAN FRANCISCO: Media companies including the New York Times, Twitter and the Huffington Post lost control of some of their websites Tuesday after hackers supporting the Syrian government breached the Australian Internet company that manages many major site addresses.

The Syrian Electronic Army, a hacker group that has previously attacked media organizations that it considers hostile to the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, claimed credit for the Twitter and Huffington Post hacks in a series of Twitter messages.

Security experts said electronic records showed that NYTimes.com, the only site with an hours-long outage, redirected visitors to a server controlled by the Syrian group before it went dark.

New York Times Co NYT.N spokeswoman Eileen Murphy tweeted the "issue is most likely the result of a malicious external attack", based on an initial assessment.

The Huffington Post attack was limited to the blogging platform's UK web address. Twitter said the hack led to availability issues for an hour and a half but that no user information was compromised.

The attacks came as the Obama administration considers taking action against the Syrian government, which has been locked for more than two years in an increasingly bloody struggle against rebels.

In August, hackers promoting the Syrian Electronic Army simultaneously targeted websites belonging to CNN, Time and the Washington Post by breaching a third party service used by those sites.

The Syrian Electronic Army, or SEA, managed to gain control of the sites by penetrating MelbourneIT, an Australian Internet service provider that sells and manages domain names including Twitter.com and NYTimes.

Officials at The New York Times, which identified MelbourneIT as its domain name registrar and the primary hacking victim, warned its employees to stop sending sensitive e-mails from their corporate accounts.

MebourneIT spokesman Tony Smith said that login credentials from one of its resellers had been used improperly.

Once MelbourneIT was notified, he said, the company restored the correct domain name settings, changed the password on the compromised account, and locked the records to prevent further alterations.

"We are currently reviewing our logs to see if we can obtain information on the identity of the party that has used the reseller credentials, and we will share this information with the reseller and any relevant law enforcement bodies," Smith said. "We will also review additional layers of security that we can add to our reseller accounts."

Twitter did not respond to requests for comment. In a blog post, the company said "it appears DNS (domain name system) records for various organizations were modified, including one of Twitter's domains used for image serving, Twimg.com. Viewing of images and photos was sporadically impacted."

Technology : Tweet For Three Months FREE on Vodafone!!

Vodafone on Monday partnered with Twitter to offer subscribers free access to the social networking website for three months. The move is part of Vodafone's initiative to drive mobile Internet adoption in the country.

Subscribers will be able to access and tweet without incurring data charges when they visit the Twitter website or the official Android app.

After a price war for offering the cheapest call rates, telecom operators are now aggressively pushing data services, especially 3G. Many operators, including Airtel, Vodafone and Reliance have already slashed usage charges to get more subscribers to consume data.

Last week, Vodafone launched its 'Be Smart' mobile internet initiative, under which it will reach out to customers talking about popular mobile applications like videos and music, navigation, social networking, online gaming and live stock market updates.

One of the popular social networking sites, Twitter allows users to share stories, ideas, opinions and news in 140 characters long messages...

Jab Tak Hain Jaan - The Poetic side of SRK, trending world wide

When people thought that SRK was just about romantic gestures and witty comedy - the latest movie of his is already changing the trend, the poem which was famous from the first release of the poster is now being translated into English by none other than Shahrukh Khan, recently he had tweeted the idea of getting the poem translated. And he has done this marvelously, the translation was done via twitter and he posted in a pic of himself alongside the poem and one could easily say that this was a fair attempt to bring the magic of the poem globally.

Shahrukh Khan also encouraged his fans to bring up their own version of the translation and he will be happy to see them

The original Hindi poem  read as :

"Teri aankhon ki namkeen mastiyaan

Teri hansi ki beparwa gustaakhiyaan

Teri zulfon ki lehrati angdaaiyaan

Nahi bhoolunga main

Jab tak hai jaan, Jab tak hai jaan

Tera haath se haath chodna

Tera saayon ka rukh modna

Tera palat ke phir na dekhna

Nahin maaf karoonga main

Jab tak hai jaan, Jab tak hai jaan"

The first translation was bit okay-okay type:

as his fans, the King Khan wasn't equally happy with the version and he thought to write the second one and in our opinion that one did the magic, and brought the true essence of the poem in Hindi. 

With this version, SRK also added a tweet that he will be happy to read versions of the poem in other languages and also retweet it on to Chopra's, “Send me translations in your language and i will retweet it for others to read...aditya chopra's verses of love,” he tweeted. And believe it or not, that did the trick the twitter was flooded with versions of the poem in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Pashto, Farsi, Russian, Turkish, Gujarati, Urdu, Italian, Japanese, Dari, Portuguese, Kannada, Indonesian, Hungarian, Sindhi, Swedish- tweeple translated them into all.

The movie explores another triangular love story which stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma opposite Shah Rukh Khan, the romantic gesture of the movie is already trending and is beyond the boundaries of language. Shahrukh Khan's International acceptance is much exploited and also welcomed, the movie also has the specialty that this will be the first one to cast Katrina Kaif opposite Shahrukh Khan. 

The first promo of the movie will be released on 27th September 2012, and this will be yet another Yash Chopra Romance classic from the trends.

Shirish Kunder apologizes to SRK on twitter

After the much talked war between Shirish Kunder and Shah Rukh Khan it seems everything has cooled down. After SRK gave the indication to let bygones be bygones by promoting Joker, the movie which was supposedly the main reason for the fight between the two, Shirish is also seen trying to patch up with the Bollywood’s Baadshah Khan!

Shirish tweeted:

 

On Kunder’s apology, his wife, filmmaker Farah Khan was quoted as saying, “I’m proud of my husband. It takes a big heart to apologise.”

However according to some, this is a publicity stunt done by Kunder since his new movie Joker is going to be released on 31st of August.

It seems both Farah, Shahrukh & Shirish are trying to mend their friendship. First SRK was seen promoting Shirin Farhad Ki Nikal Padi, then Farah was seen visiting the superstar at his home Mannat where he shot a promotional video for her husband’s upcoming movie, Joker.

Buzz was that, Farah’s renewed closeness with her old friend didn’t go down well with Joker’s main lead Akshay Kumar. Apparently he was miffed with Farah since she roped SRK to promote the film. All the media attention went to SRK when it should have been to Akki and so he felt hurt and distanced by Farah and Shirish.

In January 2012, SRK allegedly slapped Shirish Kunder for making nasty comments on his movie Ra.One.  It was also reported that he followed the star wherever he went, including the washroom!

And this was when SRK got irritated and pinned him on a sofa, first trying to talk to him. But when Shirish continued to retort back, SRK slapped him.

So will Shah Rukh Khan accept Shirish’s apology or will ignore it thinking as one publicity stunt?

Poonam Pandey Back with teasers

We have said it before and we are sharing this again and that is the fact that if you want to pick on any celebrity who is used the modern technology and social media to its full, it will be undoubtedly Poonam Pandey. The just another model turned her image over to the hottest model in town with twitter and she even bagged herself a role in movie with these skin shows.

Unending and unrestricted skin shows are the media that Poonam Pandey has chosen for herself and she still keeps restrictions to limit her from being the Playboy model (yet!). 

Poonam has ensured that her skin shows does keep up in news and for this she has utilized both Facebook and twitter to its best. And the just when her shoots are coming to an end, she has decided to post in more teasers of herself and remind people that they have more to see of her, when everyone thought that they just needed to see few strings off.

Poonam has now decided to describe a tale through her pics and how she finds her 'accessories' worth and better for herself. Its kind of cheap to talk about but when it comes to publicity - everything that makes your famous is included, be it the under-wear down pose or the topless one! As long as it works she is happy about it.

Challenging her fans to find a better hottie show than herself and to discuss with them how she found herself awkward in schooldays and what changed now is quite B-grade of publicity but again, it seems to have worked on her - as more people are keeping the hits on http://twitter.com/ipoonampandey!

We find only one reason for Poonam to be starting with this skin show - it is Sherlyn Chopra, when Poonam had started her twitter run - there was literally no competitors to her and she ruled herself as the most downloaded model on the internet. But Sherlyn just needed few lesser tweets to change the charts and become the number one in skin show as Sherlyn did show up for Playboy shoots (news here) which is something which Poonam is still to do or waiting or may be not :lol:

Also with hotties like Sunny Leone in the league it has become a necessity to survive the competition and keep her fame live longer through the periods!

The steamy posters are already on RGV's facebook page, but it seems that the news of her being on twitter is spreading out low. But she shouldn't be worrying as the followers of  RGV are already getting her advertisements through his tweets, the recent one was "Watch Nathalia Kaur's 'dan dan' song teaser at the above link. The music of 'dan dan' song is by Dharam-Sandeep, lyrics by Vayu and singers Paroma and Ravindra," he wrote.

Sunny Leone : Her days at Jism 2 sets

The much awaited Jism 2 sets was fired with the magic of Ms Leone, she had arrived at the sets and done her first shoot. The shoot started with her in a bath tub and it already looks sensuous, we are not sure what more does Jism 2 hides. Sunny had posted her photo from first day of shoot on twitter yesterday:

shot from the set of day 1 http://pic.twitter.com/zmYspO1m

she seems to be enjoying her days as we can find from the tweets she does. 

The latest news is that she is getting ready for her shots with Randeep Hooda, the male lead in the movie. She also adds in her hair stylist  and few more people that she commonly interacts with. 

The movie is said to have more of an adult flavor and Mahesh Bhatt felt that the Indo-Canadian star will do full justice to the role she is on. Also Sunny has been committed to the project, she has been taking her Hindi  lessons for the past few months. The movie stars Randeep Hooda as the lead male for the movie.

Sunny Leone is excited about the role but recent news is that she is not ready to quit the industry that did make her reach the glorified status that she currently enjoys. She has clearly said that she will be maintaining a close relationship with the American company that did direct her adult movies and maintains her websites. Speaking to media, a source from Sunny says "Sunny will continue her bonds with the adult movie industry and she is excited to be in Bollywood as well. She however doesn't want to quit the industry just for the single bollywood movie that she is committed to".

The restrictive nature of Indian audience can be a hindrance for the actress to reach to top, and we cannot blame her to be playing safe. The fate of a movie is not just dependent on the actress and we hope Jism 2 brings her enough reasons to quit the adult industry and enjoy the glitters of Bollywood.

Priyanka Chopra... No we have never had a fight - Neelam

The actress turned jewelry designer Neelam Kothari was surprised to see the article claiming her to be responsible for the latest and hot gossip in b-town. We are speaking about the alleged love affair between Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra. It was earlier reported that the rumor about their affair was headed by Neelam and she was taking special interest in promoting this news across various medias. 

Neelam has been so furious about these articles that she has used twitter to her benefit and says "Don't know how to react to a certain article that has come out today, claiming that I am responsible for starting certain rumours. I'm shocked and hurt with these allegations!! This is the first time in the whole of my career I have been dragged into a controversy.. Not fair at all!! Gauri and Sharukh happen to be my dear friends and will continue to be so.. Would never say anythin derogatory about them." 

The cause for her spreading the rumor was cited as her  cat fight with Priyanka Chopra, but she denies that as well "As for Priyanka Chopra... No we have never had a fight.. Get your facts right people!!"

Meanwhile, Priyanka is off to Macau. 'Phew...it's been a long day. Am so looking forward to my photo shoot in Macau next week where 2 really special people are going to join me! Some of you may already know what I'm talking about. For those who don't... I have something fun in mind... watch this space for more,' she wrote.

As for Shah Rukh, he just wants to be left alone. 'its sometimes better people don't get to know u...cos the more they know u...the less they understand & accept you. Alone is better, wot say,' he tweeted.

It seems that Both Priyanka and Shahrukh seems to be unaffected by the rumors and are just waiting it to slide out!

Don's Hunt for Books : Beware Nagpur!

Yes, I know that was a catchy (may be not ) kind of line to start with but, all those you are expecting Shah Rukh Khan at Nagpur should feel the heat. Shah Rukh Khan has been busy too much with his movies and misses his favorite hobby, reading books. He has been busy promoting his movie Ra.One this year and now with Don 2, the actor seems to be bonded with work.

He recently tweeted ""Desperately seeking a good book to read. Kindle dried up...bookstores out of bounds...heading to Nagpur would have been nice if I had a book," You can imagine what would have happened, SRK was suggested with many books and it has been still increasing.

The trip to Nagpur is part of the multi-city promotions of his upcoming movie Don 2 - The chase begins, he further added in his account that -

"Thanks guys and girls keep the suggestions coming...need to immerse myself in books. Been a long time since I spent some time with myself. Enroute to Nagpur...the tour begins for the chase continues film. I really love meeting you all in the garb of film promotions. DON is ON...

"So if you are in Nagpur and have the time I would love it if you get me books...remember to write ur Twitter handle please on the book," added Shah Rukh.

Tom Cruise Following SRK ?

There was lot of buzz in B-Town when the news that Tom Cruise is following Shahid Kapoor was announced the media was out of proportion promoting the news. Now the buzz is back as now it has been found that there are more people that Tom does follow via Twitter. The lead actors who are being followed by Tom is Shahrukh Khan, Gul Panag and many more members of the media!

But the alarming fact is that the account that is following the lead stars of bollywood is not the actors personal account, instead it is from a fanclub called Tomcruise.com! The website doesn't have an official authentication that the actor is related to the website or any indication that it is the actor who makes interactions through twitter to news or to fellow actors. 

The description of the account is another beauty:

Woke up to a news report tht says 'Am wooing Ranbir'!Bizarre!Just bcoz I love Rockstar trailer n I tweeted abt it!

Bipasha Basu and Ranbir Kapoor had shared screen together for the superhit movie 'Bachna e Haseeno' and was an awesome pair. She did think that the actor did a good job there and does hold the potential to take it from there.
