Twitter Launching @anywhere; Plans to be @everywhere!

9



Twitter is not content to occupy those little moments you share together when the boss is not looking. It’s not willing to put up with being used merely as a channel to share what you ate for breakfast!

Nope, Twitter wants to be @anywhere and @everywhere.

OK, so officially it just wants to be @anywhere–the name of its new framework–but you’ll soon see Twitter’s real plans are to be everywhere on the web.

According to co-founder Biz Stone you’ll be able to…

…follow a New York Times journalist directly from her byline, tweet about a video without leaving YouTube, and discover new Twitter accounts while visiting the Yahoo! home page.

Yay, more noise! Ahem, I mean, valuable content being distributed throughout the web.

While @anywhere is not live yet, Twitter has an impressive line-up of sites that have agreed to participate, including Amazon, AdAge, Bing, Citysearch, Digg, eBay, The Huffington Post, Meebo, MSNBC.com, The New York Times, Salesforce.com, Yahoo!, and YouTube.

How will @anywhere work? According to DigitalBeat, those annoying nifty hovercards that Twitter implemented on the web interface will be the carrier for the disease that will infect every web site in the world platform used for @anywhere.

Your 2-cents? Go!

    I have to say at this point I am not too excited about all this but I am sure we will all be sucked in anyway.

    The more people who see Twitter the more that will see how irrelevant and poor the content is? They better make sure where they do show up that the Tweets are of excellent quality.

    Well, it’s certainly not an ad model, but from a business standpoint it makes sense for Twitter. Conversations are already happening from these partner websites; they’re just eliminating one step.

    We’ll see how annoying the hovercards are, though.

    They better bulk up their spam department because I see a huge potential for abuse here.
