The Apple iPad and Twitdom

The Apple iPad is the latest gadget to be released from Apple and you can see the craze surrounding it across the blogosphere. Just about every Technology blog (and non-Technology blog) has written (multiple) posts about the launch of the Apple iPad.

 

Why should we stay away from it?

Twitdom being the Twitter Applications directory, has been compiling a list of Twitter Apps for the iPad as well. You can browse the iPad Directory to find an app that suits your need.

Enjoy!

Thank You Sponsors! – August 2009

I would like to thank our valued sponsors for the month of August 2009:

Thank You Sponsors! – July 2009

Twitdom has been striving to provide the best possible experience to Twitter users in terms of getting to know Twitter applications that are being released by the dozens daily. Our sponsors are an integral part of our ecosystem and without their great support all this would just not be the same.

For the month of July 2009, we would like to extend a warm thank you to our sponsors:

Thank you sponsors!

Inclusion of Compete Traffic Rankings

We have include Compete traffic rankings in addition to the Alexa rankings for Twitter Applications listed on Twitdom.

If the application is generating sizable traffic and is being tracked by Compete, you will see the traffic charts from Compete as well.

This takes Twitdom one additional step towards providing comprehensive coverage on Twitter Applications.

All Twitter Apps!

We have changed the way we display the comprehensive list of all Twitter Applications on Twitdom. It now follows the same convention as we do for particular categories of types of apps. The earlier format was just a boring list with no images!

We have a simpler and shorter URL for it as well: http://twitdom.com/allapps/

Just not that, we made it a bit more exciting by providing you, our wonderful readers, a way to sort through this list to find the application that you have always wanted to find. As of today you can sort alphabetically (ascending/descending order) as well as based on when it was listed in our database. We will provide more options in the coming days.

The page navigation bars are now displayed at the top and bottom of each page along with the sort option.

Optimized page load times – Part 1

Besides a new theme which has been on the drawing board for a long long time (we gotta get this finished!), we have been focusing a lot on SEO and page load times.

We have been working hard over the last few days in exploring areas to make our website as responsive as possible. We have completed one major change right now by moving images to a different sub-domain. Most images are now served out from http://cache.twitdom.com/

If you see images not loading up it could potentially be due to DNS propagation not being completed for you. Some ISPs can take up to 48 hours to refresh their DNS cache.

So wait for a few hours (or a day! ) and you should see everything working fine for you again.
