As Inside Facebook (another site under InsideNetwork) noted yesterday, some change Facebook recently made appears to have corrected the stats for a number of apps. The aforementioned Facebook for Android shot up to 4.7 million MAU from its 67 -- a 7 percent increase. The other big increase in the top 10 gainers? Twitter, which went from it's previously reported number of just over 400,000 users, to nearly 7 million -- a change of over 1,300 percent. And the app still appears to be growing pretty fast. The Twitter app's own page on Facebook now confirms this new number. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:29 PDT dotndot Technology 5 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/facebook-has-been-massively-underreporting-twitter-app-users-%E2%80%94-by-over-6-million/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/babbel-adds-speech-recognition-to-aid-language-learning/
The speech recognition functionality was built in-house - much of the team's background is in audio technology - although it was realised with the latest 10.1 update to Adobe's Flash plug-in, which enables developers to access audio data captured from the user on the client-side instead of streaming to a back-end server for analysis. For realtime feedback, local processing is preferable, says Babbel, and had Adobe not offered this option, the company would need to have built its own browser plug-in, which is hardly ideal. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:29 PDT dotndot Technology 5 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/babbel-adds-speech-recognition-to-aid-language-learning/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/twitter-growth-happening-all-over-the-globe-graphs/
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg may no longer be worried about Twitter and its impressive growth rate - and he shouldn't be - but that won't keep the micro-sharing service from continuing to boast impressive growth numbers all around the world.

Online analytics firm comScore noted Twitter's overall continued growth, even based on incomplete data (third-party client users aren't included in its numbers), and now Pingdom is doing its share by pointing out where exactly Twitter's staggering international expansion is happening right now. The short version: just about everywhere. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:29 PDT dotndot Technology 5 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/twitter-growth-happening-all-over-the-globe-graphs/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/why-every-site-should-have-a-data-portability-policy/
Tell your visitors what they can expect from you and what you expect from them in return. Your Portability Policy explains the ways that your customers can use the digital "stuff" they've entered into your product, including pictures, settings, messages, sounds, lists, or anything else your product manipulates. Can they bring things in? Can they get them out? Can other products use things in-place, or do they need to make copies? Can your product work with stuff that's hosted someplace else? ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:29 PDT dotndot Technology 5 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/why-every-site-should-have-a-data-portability-policy/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/evernote-opens-office-in-tokyo-adds-japanese-character-recognition/
Apparently information capturing and management startup Evernote is seeing quite some early success in Japan only three months after the release of its Japanese-language version.

Already, Japan is its second largest market after the United States, Evernote says, representing nearly 15 percent of the service's daily traffic. Furthermore, over 50,000 books about Evernote in Japanese have already gone over the counter.

This popularity is in part due to a number of partnerships with leading Japanese tech companies like Sony, Canon, Fujitsu and more, the company says. And Evernote is keen on capitalizing on the current momentum it is enjoying in Japan. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:29 PDT dotndot Technology 4 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/evernote-opens-office-in-tokyo-adds-japanese-character-recognition/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/like-a-match-com-for-search-marketers-linker-facilitates-relevant-link-exchanges/
Eightfold Logic, formerly Enquisite, will today announce the availability of Linker, which it has dubbed a social marketplace for link building.

Think of it as a Match.com for SEO people, where instead of people looking for a (temporary or long-term) partner, Linker aims to help search marketers connect with businesses that stand to benefit from contextual, relevant cross-linking to one another. Essentially, companies can use Linker to discover and link to relevant, high-quality websites to improve their inbound marketing and boost search rankings. Just don't call it link-farming, s’il vous plaît. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:28 PDT dotndot Technology 4 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/like-a-match-com-for-search-marketers-linker-facilitates-relevant-link-exchanges/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/online-targeting-company-resonate-networks-raises-5-million/
Resonate Networks, a US-based online ad targeting company, has secured $5 million in Series A funding, led by Greycroft Partners and iNovia Capital. Greycroft partner Ian Sigalow has joined Resonate's Board of Directors.

The company had previously raised a $2 million round of funding from some big-name political figures, including Harold Ickes (deputy chief of staff under President Bill Clinton) and Alexander Gage (who was reportedly involved in voter targeting for George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign).

Resonate says it will use the additional capital for R&D, sales and marketing efforts. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:28 PDT dotndot Technology 5 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/online-targeting-company-resonate-networks-raises-5-million/ http://joe.com.ar/Technology/looks-like-apple-is-suing-htc-again/
From the looks of it, the new suit, which was filed earlier this week in the same Delaware court as the initial lawsuit filed in March 2010, is adding two one additional patent to the twenty the Cupertino company alleged were being infringed upon by HTC.

As the court documents (embedded below) show, Apple mentions four of its patents in the suit. However, two of them had already been included in the initial suit, and it appears like they are being re-included because of some minor corrections that needed to be made by the USPTO. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:28 PDT dotndot Technology 4 http://joe.com.ar/Technology/looks-like-apple-is-suing-htc-again/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/bing-dives-into-entertainment-with-new-search-vertical/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 5 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/bing-dives-into-entertainment-with-new-search-vertical/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/create-your-own-awesomely-weird-chocolate-bars/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 5 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/create-your-own-awesomely-weird-chocolate-bars/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/eventbrite-grows-from-birthdays-to-bonnaroo-video/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 4 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/eventbrite-grows-from-birthdays-to-bonnaroo-video/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/twitter-for-iphone-now-supports-ios4-multitasking/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 5 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/twitter-for-iphone-now-supports-ios4-multitasking/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/26-of-iphones-break-within-2-years-report/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 4 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/26-of-iphones-break-within-2-years-report/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/how-to-use-qr-codes-for-small-business-marketing/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 5 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/how-to-use-qr-codes-for-small-business-marketing/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/1-in-5-android-apps-pose-potential-privacy-threat-report/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 4 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/1-in-5-android-apps-pose-potential-privacy-threat-report/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/vh1-awards-show-honors-twitter%E2%80%99s-social-activists/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:27 PDT dotndot Internet 4 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/vh1-awards-show-honors-twitter%E2%80%99s-social-activists/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/updated-pm-takes-time-out-to-meet-facebook-founder/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:26 PDT dotndot Internet 4 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/updated-pm-takes-time-out-to-meet-facebook-founder/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/bpi-sends-cease-and-desist-order-to-google/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:26 PDT dotndot Internet 3 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/bpi-sends-cease-and-desist-order-to-google/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/google-to-launch-download-music-service-for-android/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:25 PDT dotndot Internet 5 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/google-to-launch-download-music-service-for-android/ http://joe.com.ar/Internet/revealed-the-big-numbers-behind-facebook/ Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:16:24 PDT dotndot Internet 5 http://joe.com.ar/Internet/revealed-the-big-numbers-behind-facebook/
