Euwyn Poon: The SF Hacker Loft →
euwyn:
We recently snagged office space in SOMA. We’re still a small team, so there’s plenty of space left over as we grow. In the meantime, we thought it’d be fun to invite some hackers to come over to use this space to work and hang with us. We learned last week that Costco delivers, so our…

We identified and resolved a bug that permitted a user to “force” other users to follow them. We’re now working to rollback all abuse of the bug that took place. Follower/following numbers are currently at 0; we’re aware and this too should shortly be resolved.
Update (10:18 AM PST): Of…

Denied: Sinatra for Python →
thechangelog:
If you’re a Pythonist who’s been longing for some Sinatra action, then look no further. Denied is the next generation Python micro-web-framework, wrapped in a single portable library.
Let’s run a simple routed app on port 8080:
from deny import *
@route('/')
def hello():
return 'Hello World!'
if __name__ == '__main__':
run()
It’s a beautiful thing.

Twitter Status: Update Re: Phishing →
Over the past few days, we’ve seen an increase in phishing attempts and are working on resetting passwords for accounts that were affected. While we’ve updated about these attacks via both @safety and @spam, we felt that it was important to post a more complete alert. If you receive a DM or see a…

There have been confirmed rumors[1] about Twitter planning to use Cassandra for a long time. But except the mentioned post, I couldn’t find any other references.

We've been suspended by Twitter :(
refollow:
Despite our best efforts to reach out to Twitter to clarify what they are asking us to change about Refollow (which went ignored by them), Twitter has decided to suspend Refollow. This means you can no longer use OAuth to login (but for now, basic Twitter authentication still works).
We assume Twitter knows what is best for their overall ecosystem, but we certainly question what...

thechangelog:
Open Source has its own Circle of Life. As we discussed in Episode 0.1.1, Open Source creates opportunities for entrepreneurs. Sometimes those businesses can spin off their own projects, paving the way for the next round of startups.
Sometimes commercial apps just don’t survive, but let’s not confuse viable with valuable. Take the case of Storytlr, a hosted lifestreaming service...
Reason #4132 for Changing Your Password
twitterstatus:
As part of our ongoing efforts to monitor our user base for odd activity, we noticed a sudden surge in followers for a couple accounts in the last five days. Given the circumstances surrounding this, we felt it was best to push out a password reset to accounts that were following these suspicious users. Then we started doing some digging and, given what we found today, we felt...

The Next Chapter
davemorin:
Following your dreams is perhaps the most important thing to do in life.
I came to Silicon Valley in 2003 as a small town Montana guy, and recent college grad, with the big dream of becoming part of the technology community and one day starting a technology company. I had grown to love technology and entrepreneurship while making things for the Internet and running my own small...
