Nielsen online is sharing some interesting data about Twitter. For one, it was the fastest growing community destination last month, experiencing 1382% growth from last year. Trailing behind it were Zimbio, Facebook, Multiply, and Wikia.
Twitter Community Crowns Official Twitter Babe
Adult star Stoya isn’t the first official “Twitter Babe,” just the first one we were aware of. You can thank, if that’s the kind of thing you’re thankful for, the Twitter community and readers of XCritic.com for the election.
That’s e-Lection, mind you.
The first official Twitter Babe was a young lady named Tori Black, but we weren’t issued a press release about her. (By the by, wouldn’t recommend googling these names unless you’re comfortable with certain things.)
LinkedIn Looks to the Community for Improvement
LinkedIn has been making efforts to improve its users’ search experience. Recently, Senior Product Manager Esteban Kozak walked us through a number of new changes they made in this post as well as the following video.
SpinSpotter Lets Community Fight Spin
Here’s a site destined for greatness and future abuse: SpinSpotter, now in “very” beta, and their Spinoculars toolbar. Tired of the liberal media being in the tank for Obama? Maybe you’re sick of the corporate media suppressing important news about their in-the-pocket Republicans. Or maybe you see how the 24/7 news cycle has turned once diligent and tenacious journalists into copy-and-paste-and-post PR hacks.

Quebec Open Source Community Goes After Government
Quebec’s open source organization Facil is suing the province’s government for spending millions of dollars on Microsoft software, and never entertaining the idea of using anything open source. The problem here is that there is no room for competition because the government automatically goes to Microsoft.
Google Exposes Android To Security Community
Mobile this and mobile that – the news about Google and cell phone-related stuff just won’t stop. Consumers should benefit, however, as Google is now asking the security community to make sure its Android operating system remains safe.

Danny Apologizes to Wired and SEO Community
Danny Sullivan (a.k.a. The Godfather to those of us in the SEO realm) messed up, kind of. In a post he OK’s for the Search Engine Land a couple days ago titled, "Get A Free Link From Wired" they basically outline how to get yourself a free link on the wired.com site. I especially love the "don’t be too evil" note which implies that some amount of evil is OK.
