. It’s quite simple, if the user isn’t checking his tweets and sleeping than he won’t be able to reply. For an Example you have most of you followers from U.S and you are from India and then when you tweet in the Day Time, your followers from U.S won’t be able to reply! So find a suitable time to tweet to get maximum @ replies.It’s Official! From Today you can watch all your favorite Television Shows and Movies on Youtube. Youtube has partnered with Crackle, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate and Starz to provide us with thousands of Television Episodes and movies.
They have added many 2 tabs – Shows and Subscriptions (users can subscribe and stay updated with the fresh content) to the Navigation Menu. My last Post had some calculations which stated YouTube annually had a loss of 165 Million Dollars every year so in order to cover it up YouTube will now be showing in-Stream-Ads. This is completely different from what you watch on Television.
Shows and Movies are currently available to the U.S only but in some time the Subscription would be made available through out the world. Nice step taken up by YouTube!

Now Most of people around might think that Twitter is Mostly used by the Y – Generation (1978 -1995) but the fact is that it’s not true. Twitter is Mostly Used by people between the Age of 35-49 Yrs. Now you can surely guess that there are more parents than their children on twitter.
Why is it happening? What actually Happens is that because of twitter gaining fast popularity due to several things like for example the U.S President Joining twitter and the whole news being blogged by the blogosphere or may be even the #AmazonFail. And by this time i think most of the parents might be aware of the term “Twitter” so what’s the next step? Obviously they will join it. And now what’s up with youngsters is that they declare the place with their parents Uncool therefore more of parents than children are active on twitter.

The co-author of the song “Never Gonna Give You Up,” which was a complete hit no YouTube with over 150 Million views has just earned about $16, a price for which he can buy his own Cd once. This might be funny for you but he thinks that Google has Exploited him.
I feel like one of those workers, because I earned less for a year’s work off Google or YouTube than they did off the Bahrain government – He told to a newspaper firm.
This is not the first time it has happened but many U.K artists have also criticized Google for not compensating them well.
