The second week of the World Cup continued to see consistent spikes in TPS after goals that are remarkable increases over our average of 750 TPS. However, we caution to call any goals a record this week both because many of the games were played simultaneously with another one and total numbers were fairly similar to the first week when only one game was being played at a time.<br/><br/>However, we are calling the end of Japan's 3-1 victory over Denmark a record that bests the end of the Los Angeles Laker victory over the Boston Celtics (3,085 TPS). When the referee blew the final whistle, we saw 3,283 TPS. (The Netherlands/Cameroon game ended six minutes earlier.) </div> <p class="post-footer"><em>Posted by @<script type="text/javascript"> makeprofilelink("kevinweil");</script> at 11:44 AM</em> <a class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-related="kevinweil" data-text="Another Big Record: Part Deux" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/another-big-record-part-deux.html" data-via="twitter" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/share"></a> </p> <div id="latency-8594919954382890341"></div><script type="text/javascript">if (window['tickAboveFold']) {window['tickAboveFold'](document.getElementById("latency-8594919954382890341")); } </script> </li> <li class="reg-post"> <h3 class="post-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/ftc-announcement.html">FTC Announcement</a></h3> <h2 class="date-header">Thursday, June 24, 2010</h2> <div class="post-content"> Early in 2009, when Twitter employed less than 50 people, we faced two different security incidents that impacted a small number of users. Put simply, we were the victim of an attack and user accounts were improperly accessed. There were 45 accounts accessed in a January incident and 10 that April for short periods of time. In the first incident, unauthorized joke tweets were made from nine accounts and attackers may have accessed nonpublic information such as email addresses and mobile phone numbers. In the second, nonpublic information was accessible and at least one user’s password was reset.<br/><br/>Within hours of the January breach, we closed the security hole and notified affected account holders. We <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://blog.twitter.com/2009/01/monday-morning-madness.html" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); ">posted a blog post about it on the same day</a>. In the April incident, within less than 18 minutes of the hack we removed administrative access to the hacker and we quickly notified affected users. We also posted<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://blog.twitter.com/2009/04/unauthorized-access-update-on-security.html" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); "> this blog item about the incident</a> within a few days of first learning about it. <br/><br/>Why are we bringing up these incidents from 18 and 14 months ago that we already told people about? Because the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched an inquiry into our security practices related to these attacks and today announced that we've reached an agreement that resolves their concerns. Even before the agreement, we'd implemented many of the FTC's suggestions and the agreement formalizes our commitment to those security practices. </div> <p class="post-footer"><em>Posted by @<script type="text/javascript"> makeprofilelink("macgill");</script> at 8:10 AM</em> <a class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-related="macgill" data-text="FTC Announcement" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/ftc-announcement.html" data-via="twitter" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/share"></a> </p> <div id="latency-5661184371807488293"></div><script type="text/javascript">if (window['tickAboveFold']) {window['tickAboveFold'](document.getElementById("latency-5661184371807488293")); } </script> </li> <li class="reg-post"> <h3 class="post-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/following-your-friends-and-colleagues.html">Following your friends and colleagues</a></h3> <h2 class="date-header">Wednesday, June 23, 2010</h2> <div class="post-content"> <span style="font-style:italic;">Updated at 3:15pm. <br/></span><br/>Many Twitter users follow their <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/invitations/suggestions" id="fa3c" title="favorite celebrities, sports heroes, or brands">favorite celebrities, sports heroes, or brands</a>.

We're working through tweaks to our system in order to provide greater stability at a time when we're facing record traffic. We have long-term solutions that we are working towards, but in the meantime, we are making real-time adjustments so that we can grow our capacity and avoid outages during the World Cup.<br/><br/>As we go through this process, we have uncovered unexpected deeper issues and have even caused inadvertent downtime as a result of our attempts to make changes. Ultimately, the changes that we are making now will make Twitter much more reliable in the future. However, we certainly are not happy about the disruptions that we have faced and even caused this week and understand how they negatively impact our users.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">Should Twitter have been ready?</span><br/>Record traffic and unprecedented spikes in activity are never simple to manage. However, we were well aware of the likely impact of the World Cup. What we didn't anticipate was some of the complexities that have been inherent in fixing and optimizing our systems before and during the event.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's next?</span><br/>Over the next two weeks, we may perform relatively short planned maintenance on the site. During this time, the service will likely be taken down. We will not perform this work during World Cup games, and we will provide advance notification.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">How can I best keep informed of any future Twitter site issues?</span><br/>For real-time updates on site outages or major issues, you can go to our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://status.twitter.com/">Status blog</a>.

When turning to Twitter to keep up with the current game, it helps to know where a Tweet is coming from—is that person watching the game on TV or is he actually in the stadium? To help answer that question, we're excited to announce Twitter Places on twitter.com and mobile.twitter.com. Starting today, you can tag Tweets with specific places, including all World Cup stadiums in South Africa, and create new Twitter Places. You can also click a Twitter Place within a Tweet to see recent Tweets from a particular location. Try it out during the next match—you will be able to see Tweets coming from the stadium.<br/> Several other features of this launch include: <br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CkYnq4qiHGc/TBbEBALRlhI/AAAAAAAABtU/wGK2ZDXRp-s/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927im_/http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CkYnq4qiHGc/TBbEBALRlhI/AAAAAAAABtU/wGK2ZDXRp-s/s320/photo.jpg"/></a><br/> <ul><li>Foursquare and Gowalla integration: Many Foursquare and Gowalla users publish check-ins to Twitter. Location is a key component of these Tweets, so we worked closely with both companies to associate a Twitter Place with Tweets generated by these services. This means that if you click on a Twitter Place, such as "Ritual Roasters," you will see standard Tweets and check-ins from Foursquare and Gowalla.</li> <li>API: We are releasing API functionality that lets developers integrate Twitter Places into their applications. </li> <li>Support for more browsers: Now, you can add location to your Tweets from any browser—Safari and Internet Explorer, in addition to Chrome or Firefox. </li> </ul><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Over the next week, we will roll this out to users in 65 countries around the world, so keep an eye out for the "Add your location" link below the Tweet box. This is possible thanks to key data partnerships with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://www.tomtom.com/">TomTom</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://www.localeze.com/index.asp">Localeze</a>.

Likewise, there is a ever-growing number of third-party applications that bring value to users in a variety of new ways. As we <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-api-announce/browse_thread/thread/f71eb68600996af8">notified</a> developers in April, on June 30th we're <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://engineering.twitter.com/2010/05/tracing-traffic-through-our-stack.html">changing the way</a> that all Twitter applications interact with our platform by requiring the use of OAuth for authenticated access. OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access the Twitter platform on your behalf without ever asking you directly for your password. For users, this means increased usability, security, and accountability for the applications that you use every day.

The mission driving <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/FIFAcom">FIFA</a>, the governing body behind the World Cup, is to "Develop the game, touch the world, and build a better future." Good stuff.<br/><br/>The Republic of South Africa will host representatives from thirty two nations as they compete for the ultimate international championship. This will be the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world.

While we've since moved that project management tool in-house, we maintain a relationship with Dabble DB's creators, Smallthought Systems. When Smallthought launched <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://trendly.com/">Trendly</a>, a tool that helps web sites distinguish signal from noise in their Google Analytics data, we were among the first to try it. And, as Twitter is the world's largest Ruby on Rails-based web service, we are impressed with their frequent contributions to the Ruby and Smalltalk development communities. Their team has a unique combination of entrepreneurship, creativity, and analytics expertise.<br/><br/>Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we announce the acquisition of Smallthought Systems.

Any link shared in a Direct Message has been wrapped with a twt.tl URL. Links reported to us as malicious are blacklisted, and we present users with a page that warns them of potentially malicious content if they click blacklisted links. We want users to have this benefit on all tweets.<br/><br/>Additionally, as we mentioned at our Chirp developer conference in April, if you want to share a link through Twitter, there currently isn't a way to automatically shorten it and we want to fix this. It should be easy for people to share shortened links from the Tweet box on Twitter.com.<br/><br/>To meet both of these goals, we're taking small steps to expand the link service currently available in Direct Messages to links shared through all Tweets. We're testing this link service now with a few Twitter employee accounts.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">User Experience, Safety, and Value</span><br/><br/>When this is rolled out more broadly to users this summer, all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL. A really long link such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275966329&sr=8-1%22">http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048</a> might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275966329&sr=8-1">amazon.com/Delivering-</a> or as the whole URL or page title. Ultimately, we want to display links in a way that removes the obscurity of shortened link and lets you know where a link will take you.<br/><br/>In addition to a better user experience and increased safety, routing links through this service will eventually contribute to the metrics behind our Promoted Tweets platform and provide an important quality signal for our Resonance algorithm—the way we determine if a Tweet is relevant and interesting to users. We are also looking to provide services that make use of this data, an example would be analytics within our eventual commercial accounts service.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">Early Developer Preview Comes First</span><br/><br/>As a first step, developers who create applications on the Twitter platform <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-api-announce/browse_thread/thread/14d5474c13ed84aa">can now begin</a> to prepare for this service. They will be able to choose how to display the wrapped links in a manner that is most useful, informative and appropriate for a given device or application. Our first step is a small one. We're rolling out wrapped links on a handful of accounts, including @<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/twitterapi">TwitterAPI</a>, @<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/rsarver">rsarver</a>, and @<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://twitter.com/raffi">raffi</a>, to help developers test their code. Ultimately, every link on Twitter will be wrapped.<br/><br/>If you are already partial to a particular shortener when you tweet, you can continue to use it for link shortening and analytics as you normally would, and we'll wrap the shortened links you submit.<br/><br/>We’d like to thank our friends at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110810053927/http://www.cointernet.co/">.CO Internet SAS</a>, the registry for the new .CO extension, for helping us secure t.co for use with this service. Links shared on Twitter will be safer, clearer, and more valuable. </div> <p class="post-footer"><em>Posted by @<script type="text/javascript"> makeprofilelink("SG");</script> at 3:59 PM</em> <a
