This week, Twitter has begun implementing new e-mail alerts. While Twitter has ads for things like direct messages, new members and updates the Twitter Twitter Previously, the company tweeted that more notifications when someone follows someone or retweet favorite tweets.

New notifications may seem a small addition to the services of Twitter, but suggest that Twitter has to rely on email to keep users involved – at least more consistently. Colleen Taylor GigaOM has this idea further, saying that “might be a red flag that Twitter will remove the stickiness problem.” She writes:

Twitter strategy in this department is to compare the frequency with other social networking sites like Facebook to send e-mail alerts.

As technology e-mail is of course nothing new, the decision to Twitter to stay out of users’ mailboxes has always seemed like a reflection of a larger corporate philosophy. Twitter co-founder Evan Williams told the New York Times in 2007 as Twitter, “adds a layer of information and connection to the lives of people who were not there before and have the potential to be great Part of the way people keep in touch with each other. “In an interview with NPR earlier this year,” said Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, he “absolutely [user] reading a lot more time than writing tweet.” By failing to send a mass e-mails for all these years and Twitter may have tried to prove a point: Receive emails on Twitter activity over time seems just as ridiculous as receive calls to your inbox.

I do not know about phone calls to your inbox, but phone calls to your inbox seem to be very well received.

Inbox still reigns supreme in the first line of online communications. Although it may be cluttered with mail, sometimes it is still where most Internet users go to check important messages, and social networks – even Twitter and Facebook depend to some extent.

Of course, additional e-mail notifications are not the only thing Twitter has been done to increase the commitment. The company has bought the popular Twitter client TweetDeck.

Rumor Mill continues to churn out speculation about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5 while recent rumors that sport remains taser and / or management of functional teleportation device is exposed, the recent one is almost as cool.

It’s a report from DigiTimes says that the IPhone 5 would be available with a curved glass cover. As per their industry sources, Apple has bought somewhere between 200 and 300 glass cutting tools for the production of these curves covers.

By Sources:

Due to the large capital glass cover makers are unwilling to invest to buy glass cutting tool, the sources said.

Glass cutting machines are currently stored in facilities and associated assembly line will once the rate of return for the production of curved glass reaches a satisfactory level.

You are looking increasingly likely that we will not see the iPhone until sometime in 2012. For a while, we thought we could see the 5 ship off September, 2011, but according to recent data, instead you get an improved version of the iPhone 4, 4S.

The 4S will be a less dramatic upgrade that the suspected iPhone 5, with slight cosmetic changes, a better camera and perhaps faster processor according to reports.

IPhone 5, when it hits, is a strong possibility to carrying LTE 4G connectivity. Other rumors about the iPhone 5 suggests a larger screen, perhaps more than 4 inches, HD video and that may be issued in various models. But these reports can be wrong about the differences between 4S and the 5 as two different iPhone 5 models.

An earlier rumor that the IPhone 5would include NFC capabilities for the mobile payments has been shot recently.

Earlier this month, a new patent filed by Apple has emerged that suggests that future iPhone models may consider voice and text to speech. Do not know if it will fall into the 4S, the 5 or model in any way on the road.

A smart career social networking site LinkedIn has announced its decision to go public, and the reaction of the first trading day was fantastic. Initially the service stocks are priced at about $ 45 per share, but after a relatively short period of time, the share price has nearly doubled LinkedIn.

A quick look at the exchange notes that LinkedIn (LNKD) is quoted $ 91.72 per share, clearly indicating the start of the LinkedIn IPO proceeds as a huge success. In fact, the stock opened trading LNKD $ 83, almost $ 40 to add your original shares. So what happens? Why LinkedIn’s first trading day was such a success?

In fact, the dot com boom scare no longer exists and investors are willing to spend their money on tech companies, especially ones that are apart of the social media world. Whereas the fear of another dot com bust has died down.

Because LinkedIn’s initial attack into the world of public trading has been such a smashing success, people have begun speculating about what will happen if/when services like Facebook and Twitter go public.

Facebook may be the present golden calf, but the confidence surrounding its potential IPO is fueled directly by the success of LinkedIn. Granted, Facebook may finally sell for more stock, but it will owe a great deal of gratefulness to LinkedIn for proving the confidence in trading social media companies is indeed high.

Facebook has confirmed with them that it has started bringing Facebook Places functionality (including Check-In Deals) to Facebook Pages that have street addresses. Local businesses, pay attention. Facebook tells us this automatic merge of Pages and Places ‘makes things easier for Page administrators. By expanding the number of Pages that can run Check in Deals, Facebook may be looking to drive user awareness and engagement with the product and earn money off of it through ads promoting the incentives. Facebook is certainly not new to business pages, but the increased functionality, stacked up to new and forthcoming features for Google’s Place Pages, means more direct competition as the go-to place for consumers to look up local business info, find deals, and even check in. Meanwhile, Facebook launched Checkin Deals in November that can be used to incentivize checkins with discounts or charity donations. This may give users a sense of how it feels to be the place to represent the page, and learn what’s happening in real time. If the Place of page with the same name and address already exists, can be rolled into the official site.

Ever been in a shouted space above and unable to understand your friend on the phone? What if instead they could convert their voice communications to text? It may be possible in future IOS devices, as per to a new Apple patent published this morning by the Patent Office of the United States.

On the other side, what if you were in a meeting and needed to get message to someone. Whisper softly in the voice thing does not usually fly. So you decide to text. But if you do not have text messaging capabilities? Their texts can be converted into audible voice for them.

These scenarios are just a few of the many ways the text to speech and speech to text technology may be used in the future. According to Apple iPhones is obvious future probably provide these services.

One embodiment of the invention is directed to an iPhone, which establishes an audio connection with a far end user through a communication network. Communication devices receive input from a user near the end, and convert the text input to speech signals. Speech signals are sent to the end user using the audio connection is muted audio input component of the audio receiver.

In one embodiment, the communication device detects the noise level at the end was near. When the noise level exceeds a threshold, the communication device can automatically or prompts the user to the final for the Text To Speech at any point of communication as a phone call. Moreover, the communication device can read a pre-recorded message informing the user of the inability of end users to talk short because of excessive noise at the end was near.

The preferred embodiment, almost the end user can activate the text language conversion, if necessary, regardless of the perceived noise level. Close to the end user can write a text message, which is converted into voice signals for transmission via the audio link right to the end user.

In another expression, communication device can also perform the speech to text converter to convert the user’s voice until the end of text for display on the communication device. This feature can be used when the device of the outer end of the communication cannot or cannot send or receive text messages. The speech to text conversion and text to speech conversion may be activated at the same time, or could be activated independently. The end device is communicating with the communication device close-end communication of audio, if the speech in the conversion to text or text to speech conversion is enabled.

Although it is probably unlikely that the speech into text and vice versa appears on the iPhone on 5 Future models could have the capacity. And if you do not know the buzz surrounding the iPhone 5, check out our rumor roundup.

Although it is probably unlikely that the speech to text and vice versa, to appear in future iPhone 5, future models may do well capacity. And if you are aware of the rumors surrounding the iPhone 5, check out our rumor roundup.

How useful would this support will be? Would you be happy to see that come from the iPhone?
