A Monday Microblog catch-up…
Dan Thornton | August 18, 2008I know Friday is the traditional day for a round-up post, but so much happens in the microblogosphere on a daily basis, all the 140char team have been busy, and Monday gives some nice alliteration:
- Some stats from Twitter on how the new SMS rules have affected UK Outbound SMS usage:

- Zygotweet and tweetSMS plan to offer Twitter via SMS in the UK (Via Twitterholics)
- Useful and interesting list and stats for newspapers on Twitter (Well, American ones!).
- Jaiku got hit by a power failure at the data center provider for their web servers earlier today, but is back online.
- Plurk has had some minor design and usability upgrades.
- Pownce has integrated FireEagle, which means all your uploads and messages can now be automatically geo-tagged with your location.
- Tumblr now allows you to search within Tumblelogs.
- And Seesmic has a new and improved search function, and threaded player. The improvements to the player make it more and more a mini-application for your website and blog, which now lets you: -start a new conversation straight from where you are without having to leave the site, -reply to any video in private and not only in public. -post to twitter the link from your reply.
So not too much has happened!
