Many beginners as well as expert users of Twitter ignore its huge educational power. You often seem (or pretend) having no time to read long blog posts, but you can afford reading 140 characters even if you’re a very busy person! Twitter allows you to learn new languages and practice them a little bit. Of course, it’s impossible to really teach a language at a tweet pace, but the speed and the conciseness of the medium can really make the difference in expanding your vocabulary with little effort and keeping your interest always alive. Here a compilation of some “linguistic twitterers”: French – Learn how to pronounce “Les jeux sont faits” and much more. Spanish – Learn Spanish words and useful expressions. Dutch – Helpful twitterfeed for Dutch learners. Japanese – Learn a new word everyday. Korean – You will learn that 음식이 형편없었어요 means “The food was terrible”. Wordnik – Learn “difficult” English words everyday. Urban – Learn urban English (are you “Santaclaustrophobic”?). Na’vi – If you’re a real language geek, this can help you learn Na’vi , the invented language from the movie Avatar. Happy language learning on Twitter! © 2008 TwiTip Twitter Tips .

Can you tell the difference between these two ads? Look closely: Well the one on the bottom just made the founders of Teracent, very, very rich! OK, that’s not quite the same example that Google just gave over at the official blog, but it did announce that it plans to acquire Teracent . What does Teracent do? Teracent’s technology can pick and choose from literally thousands of creative elements of a display ad in real-time — tweaking images, products, messages or colors. These elements can be optimized depending on factors like geographic location, language, the content of the website, the time of day or the past performance of different ads. This technology can help advertisers get better results from their display ad campaigns. In turn, this enables publishers to make more money from their ad space and delivers web users better ads and more ad-funded web content. Think of it as multi-variate testing for your banner ads. No news yet on the price paid and the deal is subject to final closing conditions.
