Twitter has a two-pronged approach to give media companies the ability to create dynamic interfaces that filter and curate tweets in new ways. One is to showcase great examples of Twitter implementations on its Twitter Media blog , and the other is to give media companies the resources to do these types of projects on their own. I spoke this week with Twitter’s Robin Sloan , who works in media partnerships, to find out more. He said the blog launched a few weeks ago and is aimed at media companies that want to build Twitter integration into their sites. “It’s designed to be a spotlight and showcase for really good work,” he said. Sloan and Twitter’s Chloe Sladden split the task of writing blog posts. Their goal is to update it daily and post an in-depth case study each week. The Blog as a How-To Guide The blog aims to be a practical how-to guide for creating projects, such as NBC’s Twitter interface for the Winter Olympics, and Sloan hopes that as people follow the blog, their imagination for what they can do with Twitter will become bigger and broader. “The idea of lists of tweets on a web page; we can go well beyond that,” he said. Some news sites have already done that. The Twitter Media blog highlights the Huffington Post’s Twitter Edition , in which nearly every page and section has Twitter integration. The site uses a mixture of Twitter’s API, @anywhere , and Twitter lists . Sloan said you can’t tell where The Huffington Post stops and where Twitter begins. The Huffington Post uses @anywhere Hover Cards on its Twitter lists and the “Hot on Twitter” section of the site is content that’s “selected and organized based on tweet volume,” according to the Twitter Media blog . Sloan said the depth that The Huffington Post has achieved is what they are aiming to get more people to do. One of the main functions of the blog is to walk producers and developers through how to do one of these projects so they can learn from them. “On our site, we explain the process,” Sloan said. The Twitter Media site gets its blog content from partnerships that have launched, and by searching for great examples and from others’ tips. Sloan said they increasingly want to use Twitter itself as a way to get great usage tips on both big and small projects. “My hope is we can get a lot of stuff that way,” he said. Why Launch a Media Blog? The activities of celebrities and reporters can be a strong connection point for new Twitter users to get on board and stay there. Twitter launched their media-focused blog because news organizations and TV personalities have been really aggressive in adopting innovative uses for Twitter, according to Sloan. “We find media can be a good bridge for users of Twitter,” he said. “We’d like to be able to leverage that to get them to be Twitter users.” Twitter can help improve journalism, he added, and they would like to assist media companies such as The New York Times in doing better journalism. In order to better help news organizations, Twitter needs to understand what the media needs. Sloan said there are tools out there that aren’t built by Twitter to help people solve problems. Sloan told me that in about a week, Twitter Media will launch a directory of tools, platforms and services to better help journalists find the third-party apps that will be useful to them.

Sarah Palin E-Mail Hacker got Convicted today on 2 of 4 counts charges. Computer Fraud and Obstruction of Justice. This whole thing began in Tennessee and today David Kernall got maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and $500.000 in fines, but the two charges that are still left are deadlocked. If those get prosecuted he is looking at 50 years in prison and got knows how much in fines. Fox news added: Palin and her daughter Bristol testified during the trial, which lasted just a few days. Bristol Palin said she was distressed to find pictures of her newborn son in the public eye after her mother’s e-mail was hacked. Defense attorneys argued Kernall, the son of a Democratic state lawmaker, was just committing a college prank. For past two or so months, I must say that Cyber Criminal Law started to increase while Cyber Criminal started to decrease. Apple wants to teach ‘Journalists’ that sometimes leaked photos is NOT ok to publish, while in Sarah Palin case teach hackers to become more focused on how not to get caught. I think David Kernall got too much to spend in prison for what he did. People kill around the world and get 10 years in prison, and some 12 people + 1 judge decide to give guy 25 years for breaking into PC and share some personal info. How much would guy who breaks into Palin’s home would get? Five?
