Twitter has just made available its formal application for devices running Android. As promised by the leaders of social network, it's free.

Her widget appears on the home screen and the user allows direct visualization of his tweets on a map or in its address book, view its flow, etc..
The application also syncs contacts.

It only works with Android 2.1 (and versions later).

She was co-developed with the team and Android integrates the various functions of the phone as well as third party applications.

WP<->Twitter : Tracked Tweets

While digging on the Internet this morning, I found a nice little plugin for WordPress, Tracked Tweets. With it, you can send a tweet of your post at the publish moment.
You can customize the tweet format, and allow auto-tweet or not.
You can too add Google Analytics stats only for the tweets.

Tracked Tweets adds a box on the bottom of the new post form. You can check the box to allow tweeting. The plug-in can user different url smaller systems, like TinyURL, bit.ly, tr.im (discontinued).

Twitter 0 – 2 Pirates

Et voila, après l'attaque subite le 6 août 2009, Twitter a subit une seconde attaque hier.
Sur la page de news de Twitter, on peut lire qu'il sagirait de la seconde atatques en moins de deux semaines. "Update (12:17p): We’re back up and analyzing the traffic data to determine the nature of this attack.” était lisible. Par contre, aucune précision à propos d'un éventuel lien entre ces deux attaques.

Dave Marcus, directeur de recherche chez McAffee, l'éditeur de solution de sécurité, n'exclut pas que le site de micro-blogging soit "victime de son propore succès. Regardez combien de personnes se connectent à la fin de la journée. C'est certainement une des applications web les plus populaires". Sous entendu, ces interuptions pourraient également être liées à un problème de serveur et d'architecture mal pensée.

Quoi qu'il en soit, ces problèmes dans la conception de Twitter rendraient plus facile une attaque DDOS sur Twitter que contre un autre site. C'est en tout cas ce que Dave Marcus laisse entendre à demis mots.
Les responsables de Twitter, eux, se refusent toujours pour l'instant à tout commentaire.
