Assalamu alaykum everyone,

I just wanted to share the top ten tweets that we liked very much and therefore added them to our Favourites last week.

There they come:

I hope you found them helpful too, inshallah. 

What is your top 3 tweets for the past week? Please share with us.

“Web 2.0″ entering the English language as the millionth word was quite an achievement and now Twitter can stand up alongside Google with pride and joy with the news that ‘twitter’ will entered into the Collins English Dictionary as a verb and a noun!

It is every entrepreneur’s dream to have the name of his product becoming a verb, Hoover being the most widely known and used verb to date and Googled being the most recent.  Microsoft though is never shy about wanting to compete and with their release of ‘Bing’ they are surely hoping to join this illustrious club.

Right, I’m off to tweet

The number of English speaking people in the world has grown rapidly over the past 100 years and now is arguably the most widely spoken and understood language in the world. Recently the English language has celebrated the birth of a new official word; the millionth English word no less.

So, what’s the word?

Answer: Web 2.0

Web 2.0 beat off competition from “Noob” those who love gaming know I’m talking about, and “Slum Dog” which refers to those people living in the slums of India. Both these words came in at a reputable 999,998 and 999,999th respectively.

So, Web 2.0? I am actually surprised this word was the millionth word because from my experience, I heard and was using the word “Web 2.0″ way before the Oscars of 2008.

Web 2.0 is a word that describes the huge and life changing phenomena of the development of the web from a static, one way experience to a social and communication beast that allows any number of people to interact and share information with anyone who has a connection. What a change!

Web 2.0 deserves a winner’s medal but in truth it should have been a word a few years ago

This video is a little long, if you have a spare hour and a half then do watch it because it demonstrates Google’s amazing new tool, Google Wave. Google promote Google Wave as a communications, interactive and collaboration tool and from what I can see so far, it is really, really good, with great new features like real time messaging, wikis, photo sharing and amazing social networking capabilities.

The interface looks quite like the Seesmic Desktop for Twitter app

I have no doubt that when this gets rolled out there will be huge take up.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on stage again at Web 2.0, talking about Facebook Connect, the newest developments in social networking, monetizing social networking and the future of Facebook.

In 2009 a social network help unit was found by a surfer who randomly came across it. This website promptly appeared, bypassing maximum security firewall to appear on his screen. Today, still wanted by those in need, they survive as a network helpline. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, The A-Team The Social Network Helpline
