Twitter and Time
10x and Real Time
Biz Stone in a video podcast with Robert Scoble, "Yeah, our API was really important. We released it early on and as a result we like see ten times more traffic through our API than through our website."
Ten times. The future lies with API development.
Other quote of note: "not like the standard RSS thing, which is just awful, because it sucks for them -because they have to wait and only check every once in a while- and it's bad for us because we're constantly getting hit by these guys: 'what're you doing, what're you doing, what are you doing?' So we'll have this real time thing..."
Real Time. What's coming next. Move over RSS. We will hardly have known ye when the next wave of tech comes out of TwitterHQ.

Apple TV, RSS, and My Prime Time
When I was in NY last week, I headed to the Apple Store in Soho to check out the new iPhone and "other stuff." The iPhone, which I've held before, continues to amaze. It really is a super slick device. I'd run right out and buy one if I ever did that sort of thing, but I don't so I won't. I tend to use the tools I'm dealt. In OUP's case, the ubiquitous Blackberry 8700. Still, I'm envious of at least one story I've heard through the pipes.
But more than the iPhone what blew me away was the AppleTV, all alone by itself in the far left hand corner of the store. (Or is it a museum?) "YouTube on the old flat screen tube. Hmmm. That's something," I thought.
But this morning, I read Steve Lacey's post and nearly spilled over my morning coffee - RSS and video on Apple TV. Brilliant! RSS, which has been my favorite flavor of the month is firmly in the running for flavor of the decade. Steve's little guide allows me to pump content I want to see into my TV. Or even discover content I might deem useful. Is it really so easy?
What about pumping in feeds generated from a search by tag? DIY videos on unclogging a sink or installing kitchen cabinets, getting stains out of wool rugs, or case studies in cloth diapers? (I've got a baby on the brain.)
This is just the beginning. It's probably already been done by geeks more powerful than me. But the simplicity of AppleTV and iTunes. That may be a winning combination.
If you've done this sort of thing, pimped your ride sort of speak, throw me a bone.
