    Twitter now delivers a whopping 350 billion tweets each day, the company said on Friday by this tweet:

    Delivering 350 billion Tweets a day is a terribly fun engineering challenge. But, it doesn’t capture how passionate our users are

    The news comes just one day after Google announced that it had amassed 10 million Google+ users in just two weeks, and that these users share 1 billion items each day. This is good for a 2-week-old product though.

  • Google Launches Photovine Social Sharing iOS App

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, google, iPhone, Photography 2 Responses

    Google has just released a free but invite-only and now open for everyone Photovine for iOS app on the App Store. People can request an invite on the site, which is needed to take advantage of an iOS app. Google loves to introduce invite-only products and services, think the latest Google+.

    Update: Download the App from the App Store to sign up and start vining immediately

    Photovine is Google’s attempt at social photo sharing that takes on other platforms such as Flickr, Facebook photos, Picasa and other services. Its not weird for Google to feature an iPhone 4 instead of Nexus S as the iPhone 4 is the most prominent and the most popular camera on Flickr?! Watch the teaser in the bottom.

    Release notes from iTunes:

    Photovine is a fun way to learn more about your friends, meet new people, and share your world like never before. It all starts with what we call a photovine: a group of photos around a single, shared caption. Start a new vine with a photo and caption of your own or add your photo/take on someone else’s vine. Photovine is invite-only at the moment, so you’ll be asked to enter your email address after installing the app. If you haven’t already been invited to Photovine by a friend, you can visit our website at photovine.com to request an invitation.
