全球最大的微型博客（微博客，Micro-blogging；也称迷你博客，miniblog）Twitter于11月4日向所有注册用户发出招聘邮件。Twitter在美国属于主流的web2.0应用网站，网站主题是：What are you doing now? 奥巴马能够成功从总统大选中胜出，并成为美国历史上首位黑人总统，Twitter帮了不小的忙（参考蓝天博客文章：奥巴马：利用互联网工具成就美国黑人总统梦？）。微型博客在国内也处于兴起阶段，最著名的有：饭否、叽歪、腾讯QQ旗下的滔滔等。微型博客给用户最直接的体验是你可以通过一两句话记录你的心情、经历、发生的事情等等，用户之间可以通过Follow、Reply等实现及时互动。微型博客还有一大便利是可以通过手机、PDA发表微型日志。蓝天非常看好微型博客这种“新媒体”的未来，将在今后具体探讨有关Twitter和微型博客的价值及商业模式的话题。

标题：Twitter is Hiring and Other Updates

Hello Twitter-ers,

We’ve been really busy behind the scenes these days at Twitter HQ. Things are moving as fast as ever and we’re growing six ways from Sunday. In fact, we’re hoping to hire for a bunch of new positions. If you or someone you know wants to work at a small company with a bright future then by all means, check out our jobs page: http://twitter.com/help/jobs

TweetUp with Bijan in Boston

If you’re anywhere near Cambridge, MA on Wednesday morning this week you might want to swing by the Andala Coffee House in Central Square. Our board member Bijan Sabet along with Twitter users and developers are gathering from 8:30—10:30am for a TweetUp. Chat about Twitter as a consumer communication utility as well as a utility for applications and services. Also, you’ll meet some local Twitter-ers. Maybe @dunkindonuts will make an appearance.

Interacting with Twitter Data

Our API Lead Alex Payne recently outlined five ways developers can interact with Twitter. Lots of API developers may not be aware that we have a special Search API, a Data Mining Feed, a Pinging Service via Gnip, and plans for introducing a way to access what we jokingly refer to as the Twitter Firehose–the entire stream of tweets that are publicly available from all around the world. For more information be sure to read Alex’s blog post here: http://bit.ly/36nf7F

Tuesday: A Big Day for Twitter

Which Twitter account will belong to the next President of the United States? Will it be @johnmccain or @barackobama? We anticipate record-breaking activity on Twitter all day tomorrow. We’ll be staying late at work watching Current TV’s Twitter-powered election night programming. We’re looking forward to the live DJ set by Diplo combined with key results, facts and information. Check it out: http://current.com/election

Twitter App on LinkedIn

Recently, the professional networking service LinkedIn announced a new application platform. One of the first applications in the directory is a neat little app built using Twitter called Company Buzz. The application lets you see what people are saying about the companies and topics you care about and there’s a neat little trending component as well. If you’re on LinkedIn, it’s really easy to install the app: http://bit.ly/Q2of5
