    you people can’t be that dumb. Sigh. OK, Lil Wayne having a twitter account is important because as one of the biggest stars in the world, it’s become a direct line of communication to his fans. Secondly, this is his FIRST pre jail interview. so, he used the opportunity to explain the name behind his account. Got it? good. now, if u don’t like it, visit someone else down the URL.

  7. Good luck, cuz 50 got 2.4 million followers. I doubt any rapper touches that. Then you got soulja boy @ 2 milli

    My prediction, Wayne tops out at 1million followers.
    Him and Conan joined twitter at the same time and Conan has twice his followers (500K).

  8. What about remy ma prodigy max b lol?!?!?

  9. SWEAR I MUST BE THE ONLY GUY WITHOUT THIS FUKIN TWITTER,

    ‘TUNECHI’ SMH SOUNDS LIKE A FUKIN DRAGONBALL-Z CHARACTER

  10. Wayne has been pushing this tune name for a while.. Back in the carter 1 days it was “rawtoon” birdman tried with toonson or something like that.. now he is big enough that enough people are on his nuts that people will finally just drone in and be followers like always.. whatever Tunechi it is

Socialmedia » Chile Earthquake, Hawaii Tsunami and Social Media …

Written by on Feb 28th, 2010 | Filed under: socialmedia

While the world was still bracing through the devastation of earthquake in Haiti, another catastrophe struck yesterday when Chile was hit by magnitude 8.8 earthquake.

According to associated Press, one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded tore apart houses, bridges and highways in central Chile on Saturday and sent a tsunami racing halfway around the world. Chileans near the epicenter were tossed about as if shaken by a giant, and the head of the emergency agency said authorities believed at least 300 people were dead.

The magnitude-8.8 quake was felt as far away as Sao Paulo in Brazil — 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the east. The full extent of damage remained unclear as dozens of aftershocks — one nearly as powerful as Haiti’s devastating January 12 earthquake — shuddered across the disaster-prone Andean nation.

After the earthquake in Chile, the tremors generated tsunami waves that reached as far as Hawaii and Japan. Media as usual generated hype and sensationalized Tsunami, like running a cricket commentary. People froze in front of TV screens, watching CNN and other news channels, and using Twitter, Skype and UStream to learn and share the news related to earthquake and tsunami.

While much of the commotion generated on web based social media was either paranoia or hype or both, there was some useful and pertinent information available as well.

  • Google came forward with a post-earthquake missing person finder application for Chile.
  • A Facebook page was setup to cover news and relief activities after Chile earthquake.
  • UStream had a live stream covering Hawaii Tsunami.
  • Twitter stream was used for Chile and Tsunami related information.

    HDV 720p Youtube (uploading problem) – Video Editing Forums …

    Written by on Feb 28th, 2010 | Filed under: youtube

    Hello guys,

    I’m using Premiere pro cs4 and been working on a video for some time, now that its done i wanted to upload it on Youtube, but i ran into a problem, i will provide the information below.

    The sequence settings i used while editing;

    Editing mode: HDV 720p
    Timebase: 29.97fps

    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1280h 720v (1.0000)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: no Fields (Progressive Scan)
    —————————————————————-

    Now that it’s done i exported it with;

    Now when its exported with the Fields: no Fields (Progressive Scan) settings it doesnt play smooth, it looks laggy as shown in this video:

    Now i exported it with Lower field first and the video runs perfectly smooth, it turned out the best settings. Now comes the problem, when i upload it on youtube it ends up looking like this:
    Distored and messed up….

    So the thing is that Progressive field settings makes the video look laggy in and outside Youtube, but Lower or upper field first settings makes the video perfectly smooth… BUT when uploaded on youtube it looks distorted.

    Is there anyone that would know the a solution to this problem?

    Thanks in advance.


    Internet Plays Vital Role in Earthquake Relief: Social Media Helps …

    Social Media Helps Haiti and Chile’s Quake Disaster Efforts

    Feb 28, 2010Jace Shoemaker-Galloway

    On February 27th, 2010, a devastating earthquake struck Chile. the 8.8 magnitude earthquake was one of the largest ever recorded. with hundreds confirmed dead and more than one million people displaced, the full extent of the massive earthquake is still unfolding. as was evident with the Haitian disaster, millions of people are using the Internet for up-to-the-minute news, information and ways to help those affected by the massive quakes.

    Social Media and Disaster Relief Efforts

    The Internet and social media communities including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, played a significant role in the earthquake relief effort in Haiti. the social networking websites provided first-hand accounts of breaking news and haunting images. And because telephone service is often unavailable after a disaster strikes, social media provides a valuable resource for victims and loved ones to directly communicate with each other. within hours of Haiti’s 7.0 magnitude quake, a special text number was created for a $10 text message donation initiative. Celebrities tweeted and retweeted and the initiative spread like wildfire. in fact, the American Red Cross received millions in donations directly from text messages.

    Similar to the response in Haiti, the online community quickly mobilized to assist in the Chilean recovery efforts as well. Former American Idol contestant Eilliot Yamin was in Chile when the earthquake struck. Yamin kept his fans and Twitter followers updated by tweeting about his harrowing experience. Facebook has also set up a page for the Chile earthquake.

    Although the American Red Cross has pledged $50,000 for immediate response action if needed, the Red Cross has not yet activated a mobile fundraising campaign for the Chile relief effort.

    Google’s Crisis Response Page

    Search engine giant Google, is also supporting the relief effort by creating a Crisis Response page. An easy-to-find disaster relief link is located on Google’s main page. By clicking on the link, users will receive information, tools and links from one handy location.

    The Google page includes maps of the affected area, up-to-date news and information, a donation section, Person Finder and an area to submit YouTube video responses. a helpful link to the US State Department is also included on the Google page. Visitors can also help Google improve the Chile maps by using its Map Maker download. Users can also donate to UNICEF or to the Direct Relief International directly from Google’s page.

    Google’s Person Finder

    In order to help people around the world locate friends and loved ones affected by the earthquake, Google launched its Person Finder application. the application, available in both English and Spanish, allows users to search for someone or add information about someone. If you are searching for someone, simply enter the person’s name in the box and click the search button. If no information is available, you can create a new record for that person. If you have information about someone, enter the person’s given and family name and follow the prompts. Person Finder can also be embedded in users’ websites.

    As the death toll continues to rise and aftershocks continue to shake Chile, millions of people around the globe continue to turn to Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Google for news, information and ways to help. for more information on the Haiti earthquake efforts, please visit Texting and Twitter Campaigns Helping Haiti.


    Privacy implications of Facebook coding bug

    Written by on Feb 28th, 2010 | Filed under: facebook

    It may only have impacted a “small number of users” for a “short period of time” as a Facebook spokesperson put it, but by pushing out buggy code the social networking giant created a potentially huge privacy problem for those whose accounts it did touch upon.

    Considering that Facebook has some 350 million users, that ’small number’ could be really quite big when you think about it. Facebook itself is not revealing how many were hit earlier in the week when the buggy code push took place, but if it were just half of one percent of the userbase that’s still 1.75 million people!

    What was the nature of the privacy problem? according to the official Facebook statement regarding the incident “a bug caused some misrouting” and was diagnosed “moments after it began”. Diagnosed, perhaps, but not resolved in moments of course. the bug was in the code that routes messages around the Facebook system, which is why some users were complaining of receiving hundreds of emails intended for others. This being, of course, the most private way of communicating with friends on Facebook by using direct email messages although it turned out not to be very private at all for “a small number of users” in that “short period of time” on Wednesday.

    Fair play to Facebook for coming clean and admitting to the problem and its cause so quickly, and indeed for resolving it within a relatively speedy timeframe. however, while disclosure is good more disclosure is better. So how about letting us know how many Facebook accounts were actually hit by this, just to give an idea of the scale of privacy cock up that one small buggy code push can cause?
