The whole idea behind Yazzem is a place to start a topic, and let others join in the conversation. Incorporate the API into a great program like TweetDeck or a program made by an actual Yazzem user, this start-up will be amazing to use. ]]> http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/28/yazeem-a-teen-start-up-releases-an-api/feed/ 0 http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/27/clinton-rides-web-2-0-wave/ http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/27/clinton-rides-web-2-0-wave/#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:56:31 +0000 guest http://www.techxav.com/?p=12223 Riding on the popularity of Web 2.0, United States Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is making waves as she redefines stolid diplomacy. Under Mrs Clinton, the State Department has made headlines over the past year by using social media for promoting new missions and reaching out to a wider audience. Officers josh about who gets the larger Twitter following in the department which hosts perhaps the densest hub of dabblers in the new media in the Obama administration. It was less than three years ago that the State of Department slowly began to shape its Web personality. The DipNote, the department's official blog which keeps track of its latest activities, was set up under the Bush administration. But the website -- which has attracted 12 million page views -- has since grown, with new additions such as a YouTube channel, Twitter feed, Facebook page and Flickr photo account.]]> http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/27/clinton-rides-web-2-0-wave/feed/ 0 http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/10/facebook-chat-releases-xmpp-support/ http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/10/facebook-chat-releases-xmpp-support/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:25:57 +0000 Jake Smith http://techxav.com/?p=11123 Facebook Chat is a great way to talk with friends. Almost all of your friends are on Facebook, so it's the easiest way. There has always been one annoying part to Facebook Chat, it is only available on Facebook.com. Today Facebook announced support for any IM application to include Facebook Chat.]]> http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/10/facebook-chat-releases-xmpp-support/feed/ 0 http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz/ http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:57:48 +0000 Jake Smith http://techxav.com/?p=10955 Today Google released their awesome new service called Google Buzz. The new service is really impressive. It is Twitter and Facebook in one service, incorporated with other Google services. Buzz will also be included into mobile phones. A new type of social network has emerged. The Buzz service is incorporated into Gmail. In Gmail there will be a Buzz tab under the inbox tab. In the Buzz tab you can view your friend's Buzz, recommended Buzzes, and write your own. The whole service requires no refreshing, it is all updated simultaneously under your Buzz tab]]> http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz/feed/ 0 http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/08/new-gmail-feature-coming-tomorrow/ http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/08/new-gmail-feature-coming-tomorrow/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 02:09:15 +0000 Jake Smith http://techxav.com/?p=10885 Many of the top social media news websites have gotten invites to Google for tomorrow's unveiling of a new feature. The Wall Street Journal reports that Google will release a new feature to Gmail allowing you to update your status like Twitter and Facebook. Currently you can only update your status on Gchat, and it acts like an "away message". The new feature will probably work over multiple platforms including Gmail, Picasa, and Youtube.]]> http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/08/new-gmail-feature-coming-tomorrow/feed/ 0 http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/01/australians-most-active-social-media-users/ http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/01/australians-most-active-social-media-users/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:58:13 +0000 Alexander Long http://techxav.com/?p=10491 I always had the perception that Americans are the most active social media users because Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are all based in the United States. However, a recent study by Nielsen proved me wrong. Apparently, Australians spend the most amount of time on social media websites as compared to any other people in the world for the month of December. Analysts at Nielsen have concluded that 9.9 million Australians on average spend nearly 7 hours per month on social media sites. This translates to a 13 minutes a day, which constitutes to 0.9% of our time everyday. Meanwhile, the United States clinched the second placing with Americans spending an average of 6 hours and 9 minutes per month, followed by the United Kingdom (6 hours and 7 minutes), and then Italy (6 hours).]]> http://www.techxav.com/2010/02/01/australians-most-active-social-media-users/feed/ 0 http://www.techxav.com/2009/12/29/friendsters-asia-head-the-facebook-friendly-boss/ http://www.techxav.com/2009/12/29/friendsters-asia-head-the-facebook-friendly-boss/#comments Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:22:05 +0000 guest http://techxav.com/?p=8685 In an exclusive interview with Tham Yuen-C of The Digital Life, The Straits Times, Friendster's Asia head Ian Stewart told him that he sees nothing wrong letting his staff use Facebook and other social networking sites on the job. Instead of banning employees from accessing social networking sites in the office of the media company he worked for, Ian Stewart encouraged his employees to use it. These sites are how the "expat kid", who has lived in Asia for 20 years, keeps in touch with his friends and family around the world and he is on them some eight hours a day. "If a company accepts that people mutli-tasks 24/7 and they have to take conference calls over the weekends, they should get to balance their lives during the day," said the 40-year-old who has been Friendster's head in Asia since April. "If they can check their e-mail, why can't they check their social networking site Inbox?"]]> http://www.techxav.com/2009/12/29/friendsters-asia-head-the-facebook-friendly-boss/feed/ 0
