Twitter Blog: Does Twitter Hate Advertising?

Twitter followers paw over feline

2009-05-22T05:00:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK - He's one of the most popular users
on Twitter. More than 500,000 follow his growing celebrity, his every
adventure and, well, his cat naps.

Meet
Sockington. Twitter's latest star is a microblogging cat who regales
more than half a million with his musings on meal time, personal
hygiene and the view from the top of the stairs.

Sockington,
or "Socks" for short, is the cat of Jason Scott, a 38-year-old computer
historian and computer administrator from Waltham, Mass. Since late
2007, Scott has been tweeting from Sockington's perspective — and
finding a "Socks Army" of followers. Dogs and cats in social media isn't anything
new. Many have made Facebook pages (there are applications for both
"Dogbook" and "Catbook") and Web sites for their pets.

The
difference on Twitter is that the running thread of Sockington's feline
commentary takes on the dimension of a comic strip. Scott has created a
character with a particular voice by tweeting messages from
Sockington's point of view like: "I must say no comment to the whole
dining room incident. No questions please."

"He's kind of functioning like a 'Garfield' comic," Scott says. "He's like the 21st-century Garfield."

There's
the risk that a tweeting cat will only further the impression that
Twitter is a flash-in-the-pan success in a sea of online time-wasters.
But in a way, Sockington is a parody of Twitter, where even a kitty
cat's life — his daily trips to the litter box, his insignificant
household travails — is beamed out to the world.

Scott's Sockington feed has benefited from
being one of the accounts recommended to new Twitter users when they
sign up. But the growth of the Socks Army has been gradual over the
last year and a half.

Now,
it's starting to potentially generate revenue. T-shirts are for sale
with Sockington wisdom printed on them and Scott acknowledges he may
one day accept larger, impossible-to-refuse offers to offset his
credit-card debt.

"I'm
happy that at the heart of it all is a funny little cat, and that's why
all the attention is happening," Scott says. "There are much worse
reasons to get this kind of national attention."

What is in a name?

2009-05-20T16:42:00.000-07:00

The answer to the age-old question "What's in a name?" may well be plenty of discrimination, according to a new University of British Columbia study.

UBC economics professor Philip Oreopoulos says his study suggests that employers discriminate against people with foreign names even if they have the same education and experience as those with English names.

As part of his research, the professor tailored 6,000 mock resumes to specific job requirements in 20 occupational categories and sent them to employers with online job postings in the Greater Toronto area.

Each resume listed a bachelor's degree and up to six years' experience but the study found resumes with names like Jill Wilson or John Martin received interview callbacks 40 per cent more often than identical resumes with names like Sana Khan or Lei Li.

Oreopoulos says the findings help to explain why skilled immigrants arriving under Canada's point system - with university degrees and significant work experience - fare poorly in today's labour market.

He says name-based discrimination may contravene the Human Rights Act, but that more research is needed to determine whether the behaviour is intentional.

Serenity Prayer- line 1

2009-05-19T05:40:00.001-07:00

The key-word in the first line of the above Serenity prayer is "accept". It reminds me the principle of accepance. All of us, to a lower or higher degree, have a problem in accepting the reality. Another most apt phrase for the word reality is "What is" as used by J. Krishnamurthi.
The opposite of the phrase "What is" is " What should have been". Instead of accepting the reality, we are most likely to change people, circumstances and events that are taking place around us. At times we are so cynical that we think that "what should have been" is "what is" as for as ourselves are concerned.
Let me illustrate this with the help of personal experiences. When I am attatched to some thing I do not see my attatchments. Attatchments drive me to madness.Once upon a time I was hooked by alcohol. My mother had a taken a promise from me that I wont drink. But when I was living alone and found many youths enjoying drink, I rationalised for my self. Who am I to say that alcohol is bad without having any first hand experience. To experiment, so to say, I asked my room partner to get me a quarter of Feni- a Goanese drink made at home from cashewnuts. Slowly I became a habitiual drinker. My love for drink became so strong that I started doing things which I did not want to do and could not do things which I wanted to do. Then one professor collegue explained the meaning of this line. We are having insane fascination for alcohol.
True it was really so. But I was not able to accept the fact. I told him that I am not that bad. Accepting our own weaknesses and shortcomings is very difficult. We always point to worse cases saving our faces. Getting our selves transformed is not an easy road. We must accept our own weaknesses. We are powerless not only over alcohol, money, girls and many other objects of our obscession but also over our sense organs. You see a beautiful girl and you go on following her. You see photographs of beauties but eyes are pointed over to their cleavages and boobs.
We pray to get Serenity to accept our folly. Because if we don't have it we will fall to self-pity, self-condemnation treating our selves as permanently useless guys.I can't change the truth about me. People have lost faith in me. They are extra-aware out of fear that I may cheat them with my sweet tongue. Left to ourselves we can not change. We can't stop smoking, chewing Gutkha, watching Savita Bhabhi as and when we find privacy on a special browser which does not record our history. We are hopeless and helpless. But accept we must. We are the way we are. Every time I repeat the first line of the serenity prayer it reminds me that without God or the missing ingredient as my dear friend Carol King would like to call Him, I am nothing and with him I am a miracle myself that can produces many more miracles.

I am responsible

2009-05-18T23:00:00.000-07:00

I am a friend of Carol King. I follow her on Twitter. She is a self-motivated spirit. She contributes on this site. http://www.missingingredientcoaching.com/
Today when I chequed my gmail I found that twitter had drawn my attention to her request that she wants to follow me on twitter. I permitted her. She has written a new hub and immediately logged on to my account on hubpages and read her new hub. This wonderful new hub has inspired me to write this post "I am responsible" the second post of the 100 posts that I am going to write on the most lucky blog on blogspot before I comlete my 24 years of sobriety on June 10, 2009.
Before I turned to my higher power on June 10, 1985, I was the part of The Problem and on that day I got admission in the Part of The Solution.
Carol has analysed beautifully the two parts in her hub. In my case this sudden transformation took place as I got the missing ingredient in me on that day morning.
I was standing before the mirror and tweeting my self "what are you doing now? @khadilkarrakas
The true me said no I don't want to change. I can't change and I won't change. I was at my best negative state. I did a simple exercise from my grammar lessons. Transform the negative thoughts into Affirmative thoughts. And I found a mantra, "I want to, I can and I will".
I have written first post on this mantra. I have taught this mantra to many students. One friend of mine came to me and expressed his desire to speak in English. I gave him this mantra.I want to speak Enlish. I can speak English. I will speak English Remember this mantra I told him. Chant this mantra 108 times a day. Come to me tomorrow and tell me the result. Next day came to with a wish-list numbering 108 items. The list contained 108 most common verbs. Here is the list.

I want to...
I want to blog. For years I have this desire to become a famous writer. I have been reading for last sixty years. I presume that I am a well informed citizen now a netizen. I have got a computer. I have installed a twenty four hour broad-band internet connection. It is working fine. I got so many browsers installed on my computer including Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, GCrome, and last but not least Mozila's Firefox. I have an email address khadilkarprakash2008@gmail.com and at least ten others such as Yahoo, Live, Math, Itimes, Aol, etc. I have a blogger account, wordpress account and many others. I have installed Baraha IME an Indian language software which facilitates me to enter text in संस्कृत, हिन्दी. मराठी, ಕನ್ನಡ, தமில, తెలెగు, മകയാലമ, ગુજરાથી, ਪਂਜਾਬੀ, বংগালী, ଓରିଯା and English. On blogger itself I had created 12 blogs and failed to earn a single rupee. Today I have created my thirteenth blog and called it the most lucky blog.
I can...
I have ample experience. I know I can write very attractive posts. There is no derth of topics on the earth. There are lots of resources to search the material on the internet. Google has a variety of search options such as blog search, scholar search etc. Kosmix is another tool to search on internet. Only drawback I have is my forgetfulness. I usually do not remember that I have to blog. More often I read other people's blog. Now that I have realized that I can blog and earn name and fame, I will make a resolution.
I will...
Yes I will blog. Now that I have decided to concentrate on only one blog that "the most lucky blog" hosted by Google on its blogger platform. The web address of this blog is http://themostluckyblog.blogspot.com . I will write 100 posts on it as soon as possible.
To all my followers on Hubpages, Suido, Twitter and other social networking places where I have created my profiles such Myspace, Facebook, Itimes etc. I am requesting that please allow me to concentrate on my blog the most lucky blog for some time.
