Evan Williams,the co-founder of Twitter
The co-founder of Twitter , Evan Williams, said on Wednesday that it is really frustrating for them that Facebook was not letting the users of Twitter to look up for their associates on Facebook or fire the posts of Facebook on the Twitter.
Mr. Williams was answering questions coming from John Battelle, who is the co-founder of Web 2.0 Summit held in San Francisco where Mr. Evan Williams was the guest speaker. The persistent theme throughout the conference was the lack of collaboration among the Web companies, mainly over distribution of societal information among sites.
Mr. Evan Williams wanted their users to be capable of tapping in Facebook so that their experience of using Twitter can be more interesting. But he understood the reluctance of Facebook. The societal graph they had was seen as their core advantage and they want that a win-win association with anyone who can have access to it.
After telling that new products for Twitter are coming very soon, he also said that the company will be focused more on sprouting the posts which are more relevant, between still rising sea of posts. “We are having this fortune of so much of information which empowers along with helping us, but now it is becoming a problem,” he added.
According to him, there are about hundred million tweets everyday with which Twitter is trying hard to counter one question, which is the one that matters for audience.
Mr. Evan Williams also told about the partnership of Twitter with one of the companies, named Gnip, which is a media analytic company. Half of the Twitter’s posts in Twitter’s stream will be licensed to those companies, who want to make use of it on fordoing analysis, not just to demonstrate the posts.
Twitter has already licensed some companies which will demonstrate it, counting Google, yahoo and Microsoft.
