Plan behind this ipo is to raise some price in its stock market, because twitter has never turned any profit in its existence.<br /><br />Twitter has made many decisions about the pricing of shares like $17, $23 and $ 25, which are rumours now. These variations are going on from September onwards. At the last it has been reached to $26, which may become the final price for this ipo.<br /><br />Max Wolff, chief economist and strategist at ZT Wealth said: “A tech IPO like Twitter with no profit is an emotional event, not a fundamental event.

NY Times: 'The administration has now lost all credibility'

Facebook and Twitter lit up Thursday as a line in a <i>New York Times</i> editorial many never thought they would see was posted over and over like wild fire.<br /><br />"The administration," the <i>Times</i> wrote in the opinion piece titled <i><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/07/opinion/president-obamas-dragnet.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&smid=tw-nytopinion&partner=rss&emc=rss&">President Obama's Dragnet</a>,</i> "has now lost all credibility." <br /><br />Reactions were swift and nationwide, and by Friday morning the line had been edited to read, "The administration has now lost all credibility <i>on this issue."</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/06/ny-times-changes-scathing-editorial-165650.html">Politico's Dylan Byers</a> noted the change in wording that quietly took place Thursday night and, as he noted, "No correction or explanatory note was appended."<br /><br />On Friday Byers <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/06/ny-times-changes-scathing-editorial-165650.html">wrote about the change</a> and why it doesn't lessen the damage to the Obama administration:<br /><blockquote>"The change was for clarity's sake," Andrew Rosenthal, the Times editorial page editor, told POLITICO on Friday morning. "It was clear from the context of the editorial that the issue of credibility related to this subject and the final edit of the piece strengthened that point."<br /><br />The "issue" in question is the Obama administrations' oft-repeated claim that an overreach of power -- from secret orders to kill an American suspected of terrorism to the subpoenas of reporters phone records to the collection of Americans' phone and now Internet data -- is required in order to keep Americans safe.<br /><br />To the Times' critics, and to Obama's, the change may seem like an attempt to soften the blow. It shouldn't: The Times is still unequivocal in its condemnation of the president's abuse of his executive power. That is the important point, and it remains unchanged.</blockquote>"The administration has now lost all credibility...."

How to create a Twitter hashtag for an event

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Twitter is definitely a very important tool for educators in the 21st Century. I have learned SO MUCH from fellow educators via Twitter, and if anyone asks me for my no. 1 website I always say Twitter! </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, let’s say you want to create a hashtag for an event. This tag will group all the tweets about the same event together. This would then enable people to follow your event quite easily (and I’ll explain how afterwards). </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. You can just make up your own hashtag for your own event. e.g. #ELEL. Write a message with that hashtag into the place where you compose your tweets. You’ll see it come up in your Twitter feed!</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5-sEfdZXiKWmFvPm2Q3MNWH80vu_q2rHZGF3y2hQ3rgUTkDNFhLl1WAjqfg2t0JCUA1FLjBz943_bW39aohlOeeDWUA-E6eqfvrfAM635EKYg4iJfhBytSL91iK_a7gZ5y2sFYhoWJLQ/s1600-h/image%25255B10%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fC4QZu-r6KFRXfG6AIdT6mFPB4Ms-j-Pk_9OUDV9E8P4mFCXnb4kwN48FklekMSTDv0BzZXtnHUOmwbGXEz95arsDBe0_JBooIpaKxjva3LOyl8kNKNMlnhgsCCmAZ7i8jiCs28JVg4/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="242" /> </a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2Ttvz7_3yJmcxsverapPXyKg5qdnXswkpCw-tJh3Fp6W3LwskEbrwfdOD4JgDhdsLw8Y8lzEnMzThz7rpYgSH8VhoJx-9zm2OSac0sPgMeE5_6ie6kXnpkWBijTZx6bZdPLvDa00duE/s1600-h/image%25255B3%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXQ-GfomB92G7Y-VkHiy53h5GhNJbzA_68MH_bPzqLtFEFgnRaTY9IohvZe-rTzcPiWALRyhRZymphzf9-0Y97MpyS9BHwYn15ebEBRvFrEHHkHuuBtckWmY6kAU4FumSH7_XlCKkORlQ/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="242" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Notify others that you have this hashtag via Twitter and so your hashtag is borne! Note that you will have to write in it every couple of days or it will disappear and you will have to start from scratch. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Every time you want to add a tweet about the event you created, you simply write your tweet as normal but add the hashtag afterwards. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>How to read your list of tweets in that hashtag</b></span> </div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I would suggest two things here: </span><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Install Tweetdeck on your computer (<a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/">http://www.tweetdeck.com/</a>).. This will enable you to add as many columns as you like, including your hashtag column.  I do this all the time – work from Tweetdeck instead of working from Twitter. These are all the different columns – you can hav as many or as few as you like.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOsWzDqXzRrc1FlxWvJ7anRoum1kcI6gSPA1TjGWYseOtNuHWgEEoit19vPD5SqdX6qupGBvUIkkLWlhyphenhyphenhG9CXIutPtuG6REtqNAa2lzfu_9cmOV5vYv-FlEwsZ6xfI8g74JmCLUu2S0/s1600-h/image%25255B13%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqE5HRD_TrqRGkz4uHkGl4mvcoCUtJwM0alLAY60TnJhFGHh5nVRgNnDegnVaIvatEaGi3ArVZlI2c7W2mAqueyQmz47dVTlZBoHcP6NeeYuYFEkB0cnWlwZuEkd5SI0nkyZPhNKszLlI/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="244" /></a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">For more details on using Tweetdeck I have written a comprehensive post about it:<br /><a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html" title="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html">http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-not-install-and-use-tweetdeck-for.html</a></span><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />2. The other application is totally web-based and that is Tweetchat</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The best application for following a twitter chat is Tweetchat. (<a href="http://tweetchat.com/">http://tweetchat.com</a>.) What you would do at an event that you are actually tweeting at – open Tweetchat, type in your hashtag and all the hashtags from that event appear. After that you just tweet in this application and you don’t have to add the hashtag each time.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Here is a screenshot of our <i>#edchatsa</i> chat that took place last night.

SA teachers who were on Twitter were then notified that a tweetchat for SA teachers would take place every Monday night from 8:30pm – 9:30pm; and so our regular and popular tweetchat was born! Arthur Preston from Elkanah House put this all into motion. Very soon teachers told other teachers and so the news spread and the numbers are growing steadily. If you would like to know more, Arthur has set up a website <a href="http://www.edchatsa.co.za/">http://edchatsa.co.za</a> with all the necessary information. This website is also the place where we go during the week to vote from the choice of topics for the following Monday night’s chat. A new development is that the chats are being summarised each week by volunteers using Storify.

It is vital to cross-pollinate with teachers from other locations and share ideas and is so worthwhile when teachers prioritize and make time for this valuable interaction. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>How does one follow a Twitter chat using Tweetchat.com?</b></span></div><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The best application for following a twitter chat is Tweetchat.
