approaching its third birthday, the Twitter API has spawned thousands
of applications that extend functionality of the basic microblogging
service. Some applications mature, while others fade away. The methods
and data available through the API continue to evolve, as does the
Twitter community, to create new opportunities for application
development. This webcast takes a closer look at the Twitter design
space by reviewing existing applications across several dimensions and
looking for unaddressed needs of the user and developer community.</span>

to USA Today, Maker Faire Bay Area is one of the ten best places in the
nation for a family-friendly, hands-on craft experience. And this May's
4th Annual Maker Faire Bay Area is heeding President Obama's call to
"begin the work of remaking America." With the theme, Re-Make America,
Maker Faire celebrates the folks the President described as the "risk
takers, the doers, and the makers of things." Plan on joining us at
Maker Faire, May 30 & 31, at the San Mateo County Expo Center. <a

- Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase is a one day event that previews the larger Gov
2.0 Expo scheduled for May 2010. Our goal is to highlight the projects
that are leading the way, those that leverage the web as a platform,
that drive towards transparency, participation and collaboration, that
drive down costs while they increase value. All these cutting-edge
efforts, married with a profound shift in thinking, are helping to
build
what Tim O'Reilly has called "government as a platform." On September
8th, 20 innovators will show how this is really happening, concretely,
right now, inside (and outside) government. The submission deadline for
all proposals is June 30, 2009.

eBook Pricing Ceiling</strong></a><br>
Have you stumbled across any of those Kindle owners who get angry
anytime they see an ebook price over $9.99? How about publishers who
insist on maintaining their print list price for the e-version? Btw,
for
the record, at O'Reilly we typically fall somewhere in between; our
"digital list price" is generally less than the print list price and,
of
course, Amazon is free to discount to an even lower price. As a
consumer, when I see a Kindle price over $9.99 I'm highly likely to
skip
it.</p>

on Google Earth</strong></a><br>
At Google I/O 2008 the Google Earth API was released. It brought Google
Earth's 3D capabilities to the web (with the help of browser
extensions). Since that release they've started supporting Macs. One
really nice part of the Google Earth API is the ability to create games
in the 3D world.</p>

and we'll make that available as soon as possible.)</p>

Thousands of Twitter Followers</strong></a><br>
Ever since Twitter started suggesting accounts to new users, it was
clear that those on the suggested users list were gaining thousands of
followers. Setting aside the fact that number of followers is a poor
gauge of influence (see our Twitter report for details), I wanted to
know how many followers a suggested account gains by appearing on the
list.</p>

Yep, you heard correctly in association with the 360Conferences guys,
InsideRIA is having its first conference August 23-24, 2009 in San
Jose,
CA at the eBay facilities. This 2-day event will get into the nitty
gritty of developing for the Rich Internet Application (RIA) space.
Sunday will be hands-on workshops to get you familiar with a few of the
RIA platforms. Monday will be a full day of sessions with 3 distinct
tracks: Development, Design/User Experience and Business Development.
All 3 tracks will be aimed at the RIA platform in general.</p>
