Over at the Twitter API announcements Google group, Twitter developer advocate Taylor Singletary has written about a beta project that their search team is working on that will rank results by popularity (as opposed to reverse-chronologically as they are now).
The Search team is working on a beta project that returns the most popular tweets for a query, rather than only the most recent tweets. This is a beta project, but an important first step to surface the most popular tweets for users searching Twitter.
You can expect many improvements as we tune and tweak our algorithms, but we want to give everyone a heads up so we can go over the implications for those consuming the search API.
It’s unclear how exactly they are going to define what it is that classes a tweet as popular. People rarely click on individual tweets, so that metric isn’t going to work at all. My guess is it’s likely to be based heavily on retweets, perhaps held up against network size, which...

The schedule for The Twitter Developer Conference, Chirp, which runs over two days from April 14, is now online.
I received an email from Twitter about the conference, which says this:
Biz Stone (@biz) will set the tone of the day with Evan Wiliams’ (@ev) delivering a visionary keynote. Ryan Sarver (@rsarver) will share Platform announcements and roadmap details and Dick Costolo (@dickc) will talk about monetization and commercial accounts. We even have a few surprises peppered throughout the day.
The second day’s schedule will be available early next week. It has something for everyone. Deep technical tracks for developers, business sessions for managers, policy talks for implementers, birds of a feather roundtables for information sharing, and more. Our goal on the second day is to create an environment for everyone to network, share knowledge and collaborate. So in addition to the formal tracks, we’ll have informal areas dedicated to impromptu...

LOLapps is on a roll with its quizzes. Last week, the company had four quizzes on our list of the top 20 emerging Facebook apps, counted as those still under a million monthly active users. This week LOLapps has raised the stakes to five quiz apps — all but one is different from last week — and overall they’re in higher positions on the list.
You can spot them by the dotted box icon on each and their badly- or un-punctuated names: What age will you have your 1st baby ???, I can guess your name., What Spirit is taking care of you, the whole name of the person who loves you!!!(100% real) and THE SEX QUIZ. Four more LOLapps quizzes are in positions 20-40 on our full AppData list.
What is LOLapps’ secret sauce? Well, it’s not making the quizzes itself. They’re all coming from Quiz Creator, which lets users brew their own quizzes. With users churning out quizzes for free, it’s no surprise that a few have become successful.
On...

Have you ever been the lucky recipient of a #followfriday or #ff from a friend on Twitter?
It’s a great feeling when someone goes out of their way to recognize you as a resource for great insight and connection on Twitter. Recognition for being someone worth following is great for those trying to figure out the point of Twitter.
However, the common practice for a typical #followfriday tweet is to pack as many of your favorite followers into 140 as possible. While this strategy is great for pinging people in your network to let them know you’re thinking of them, it also can appear cheap and potentially a little off putting if the group of folks you include don’t have much in common.
Now, it’s rare that folks are actually offended by being included in a #followfriday. Most do in fact love to be included and recognized in some way by their followers. Some may even get a few new followers because of the referral.
As with most situations in life, however, #followfriday offers...

Facebook has become a place where one can not only connect with friends and get free food, but now thanks to Second Porch, you can also book a vacation home. Portland-based Second Porch secured $1 million in Series-A funding Wednesday, led by the Oregon Angel Fund, which will help the company expand its vacation home rental/home exchange markets, according to its press release.
Second Porch offers a nice looking free Facebook application used to help people either find a vacation rental or put their property up for rent on the service, representing a significant financial commitment on the part of its users. Part of what Second Porch represents is a growing trust users have for Facebook as a place not only to socialize. We’ve previously reported some people have even considered purchasing modular homes on Facebook, and Second Porch is yet another way users may utilize the social network to make sizable financial decisions.
Second Porch says bridging the gap between the need...

In what appears to be the last of several conclusions to a drawn-out class action lawsuit regarding Facebook’s now- defunct Beacon advertising program, a judge has approved a contested settlement, as Wired reports. Facebook will provide $9.5 million to create a “Digital Trust Fund” dedicated to studying online privacy (minus $3 million for legal fees).
Beacon automatically showed users’ activity on other web sites to their friends on Facebook. One plaintiff had bought a diamond for his wife, and she found out about it before he intended her to because Beacon immediately shared the purchase with her. Facebook stopped promoting Beacon years ago, but only officially shut it down last year as part of the terms of the settlement last fall.
However, lawyers for the plaintiffs contested the settlement, in part because it allows Facebook to retain a seat on the foundation’s board — they’re concerned the company will be able to influence how the foundation...
