財富精英勵志演講 第75期:分享生活點滴(3)

[00:02:26]Politicians have recently begun Twittering. In fact, there's 47 members of Congress who currently have Twitter accounts. 政客們最近也開始使用Twitter了。實際上，47位國會成員擁有Twitter賬戶。 [00:08:45]And they're Tweeting, in some cases, from behind closed-door sessions with the President. 有的時候，他們會在和總統(tǒng)開會發(fā)出Twitter。 [00:13:10]In this case, this guy's not liking what he's hearing. 看來，這家伙并不喜歡自己所聽到的事情。 [00:16:09]The President himself is our most popular Twitter user, although his tweets have dropped off as of lately, 總統(tǒng)本人就是最受歡迎的Twitter用戶，盡管近來他不怎么在上面發(fā)言了， [00:23:49]while Senator McCain's have picked up. As have this guy's. 不過麥凱恩參議員的Twitter使用頻率卻開始增加。這個人也是。 [00:31:22]Twitter was originally designed as pretty much a broadcast medium. Twitter最初只不過被設計成一個廣播媒介。 [00:34:49]You send one message and it goes out to everybody, and you receive the messages you're interested in. 你發(fā)送的信息能被其他人收到，同時，你也能收到自己感興趣的信息。 [00:39:37]One of the many ways that users shaped the evolution of Twitter was by inventing a way to reply to a specific person or a specific message. 但用戶們還自己發(fā)明了很多Twitter的新用法，例如，回復消息給特定的人，或者回復某條特定的消息。 [00:49:23]So, this syntax, the "@username" that Shaquille O'Neal's using here to reply to one of his fans was completely invented by users, 比方說，大鯊魚奧尼爾在這使用“@用戶名”來回復他的某個粉絲，這種用法就完全是用戶們自己發(fā)明的。 [00:56:03]and we didn't build it into the system until it already became popular and then we made it easier. Twitter本來并不支持這種用法，直到大家都開始這么用的時候，我們才增加了這個功能，方便用戶。 [01:01:13]This is one of the many ways that users have shaped the system. 上面說到的只是用戶幫助改進Twitter的眾多方式之一。 [01:03:59]Another is via the API. We built an application programming interface, 還有一種方法是借助于API（應用編程接口）。 [01:07:33]which basically means that programmers can write software that interacts with Twitter. 我們提供了一些API，這樣程序員可以編寫其他程序來和Twitter交互。 [01:12:09]We currently know about over 2,000 pieces of software that can send Twitter updates, interfaces for Mac, Windows, your iPhone, your BlackBerry ... 目前大約有2000種程序可以發(fā)送Twitter信息，他們可以運行在Mac，Windows，iPhone或黑莓上... [01:21:24]as well as things like a device that lets an unborn baby Twitter when it kicks or a plant Twitter when it needs water. 同時，還有的設備可以在胎兒踢腿時發(fā)出Twitter信息，或者當植物需要澆水時發(fā)出Twitter信息。
