What Twitterers Are Thankful For

Posted on November 26, 2009 by cgseo

Do you want to tell the world what you're thankful for? Will the Twitterverse suffice? How about you followers and the few people that go to TurkeyTwitter? What is TurkeyTwitter you ask? It is a site that was launched yesterday to give those celebrating Thanksgiving a place to see the collective thanks of Twitter users. Sure, you could simply use Twitter Search, and search "thanksgiving," but TurkeyTwitter provides updates and stats about the things people are thankful for. It gathers tweets based on the #turkeytwitter and #thanksgiving hashtag. In actuality, it's going to give you a lot more than just what people are thankful for. If anyone tweets anything remotely related to the holiday and includes a simple #thanksgiving hashtag, it will appear, but it is what it is. It's Thanksgiving, and someone took the time to make a Twitter-based Thanksgiving site, so we're talking about it. Case closed. If you follow @turkeystats on Twitter, you can see the top ten thankful items tweeted out. The creators note that the site is just a quick experiment. They even offer advanced apologies if there's something that doesn't go well. Don't worry guys, I think we'll all sleep tonight if we experience some TurkeyTwitter hiccups. If you have some time to kill, if you don't like football, or you just want to know what strangers are thankful for, check out TurkeyTweets.

Google Gives Mobile Users a Better Movie Search Experience

Posted on November 25, 2009 by cgseo

Google has launched a mobile version of its new search results for movies . This comes just in time for the holidays, so bored people can find some entertainment while their significant others are out shopping on Black Friday or watching the games. If you go to google.com on an iPhone, Palm WebOS, or Android -powered device, just search for "movies" and hit the "more movies" link. There, you can browse movies, and theaters, and find trailers, posters, reviews, etc. "Our new movie listings page now includes buttons to play trailers right on your phone, ratings and categories, movie posters, upcoming showtimes, and a concise list of the nearest theaters and their distances from you," says Nick Fey, User Experience Designer on the Google mobile team. "We keep information on this page succinct so you can quickly browse through shows and showtimes to help you decide which movie to see. If you want more details about a specific movie, just touch the poster or movie title and you'll see our new movie details page that has a synopsis of the movie, a more detailed list of showtimes, the cast and crew, and pictures." "When you browse by theater, you'll see a map of the theaters nearest to you," adds Fey. "Then, just tap on the link to any particular theater to see what shows are playing there and what times they're playing. Of course, you can also search for specific movies or theaters and see their listings right away. Try searching for recent movies like 'New Moon' or 'Where the Wild Things Are' or search for 'glendale 18 los angeles'." Currently the new features are only available in the US, the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand (in English). Google does not mention an extension to more locations or languages, but the company is usually pretty good about branching in this area with its products and features. Continue reading →
