Buried in last night’s update on skyrocketing mobile usage , Twitter CEO Evan Williams revealed that the company now has more than 145 million registered users. The last time Twitter went on the record with member registrations, it was touting 105 million registered users . That stat came just four months ago, which makes last night’s reveal quite significant and proves that Twitter is adding nearly 300,000 new users per day, as previously disclosed. Of course, mobile plays a huge role in Twitter’s growth. Sixteen percent of new Twitter users now join via mobile device, as opposed to signing up on the web. The official Twitter mobile apps have significantly helped the company on this front. This week’s Twitter for iPad unveiling could also help the company recruit even more new members through mobile. The application offers a fresh iPad-specific application experience with an innovative panel design. Image courtesy of Matt Ha ...

According to the latest numbers from Net Applications, iOS is the third most popular platform on the Internet, surpassing Linux and Android combined. In August 2010, Android had a 0.20% market share, Linux was at 0.85%, while iOS devices – the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad – had a 1.13% market share. Net Applications’ figures do not include device sales – they merely show which devices are being used to access the web. ?It?s something to take note of when a mobile operating system passes something that?s been around forever. Mobile?s growth curve is strong and mobile is becoming quite a phenomenon on the Internet.? said Net Applications’ vice president Vince Vizzaccaro.” As always, take these numbers with a grain of salt; Linux users are more tech-savvy than most users and are thus more likely to block Net Applications from tracking their web usage. One could also argue in favor of Android devices being counted as ...

This series is brought to you by HTC EVO 4G , America’s first 4G phone. Only from Sprint. The “First to Know” series keeps you in the know on what’s happening now in the world of social media and technology. Welcome to this morning’s edition of “First To Know,” a series in which we keep you in the know on what’s happening in the digital world. We’re keeping our eyes on three particular stories of interest today. Ubuntu 10.10 Beta Now Available The first beta for the next version of the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu , dubbed Maverick Meerkat, is now available for testing. While the final release isn’t expected to ship until October 10, users who aren’t afraid of encountering some bugs are encouraged to download and test the new version. For netbook users, the Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition features a brand new default user interface designed to better take advantage of screen pr ...
Google Wave was once one of Google’s hottest projects, promising a new way of communication that might even replace e-mail. Alas, it was not to be, and Google shut it down soon after public launch due to lack of user adoption — but not completely. Wave still draws interest from users, although it turned out to be more of a niche product than a massively disruptive tool. Recently, Google promised to keep Wave alive, at least until the end of the year , and to open source some parts of it. Now, Google has finally decided what to do with Wave. According to a recent blog post, Google will release most of the Wave code in the form of an (almost) complete application that Google calls “Wave in a Box.” For exact details on what this bundle will include, go here . Yes, Wave was a failure in Google’s hands, but we’re sure that developers will find a way to instill new life into the project. Who knows, maybe soon we’ll se ...
If you’ve seen Danny Boyle’s movie Sunshine , you may be a little disappointed: NASA’s mission to visit the Earth’s sun won’t include sending people up there. But NASA will be sending a spacecraft into the Sun’s atmosphere, approximately four million miles from its surface. The project, called Solar Probe Plus , is slated to launch sometime before 2018. Four million miles doesn’t sound very close, but it’s still very exciting, since this is a region no other spacecraft (created by us) has ever encountered. NASA plans for the project to “unlock the sun’s biggest mysteries.” Although the spacecraft will be relatively far from our star’s surface, its carbon-composite heat shield will have to withstand intense radiation, as well as temperatures exceeding 2,550 degrees Fahrenheit. “The experiments selected for Solar Probe Plus are specifically designed to solve two key questions of s ...
We’ve just gotten an e-mail from Twitter stating that staffers are testing push notifications amongst themselves and the company will be rolling this feature out to all users soon. Push notifications would enable users to get instant, real-time updates for certain types of tweets — probably DMs and @replies and perhaps other kinds of tweets, as well. A few lucky users accidentally got the new feature with the Twitter for iPad application, which was recently released. “When we launched Twitter for iPad, there was a configuration error that caused us to offer push messages to a small set of users,” wrote a Twitter spokesperson. We’ve stopped sending push messages, but users may see an option to turn on push until we release an updated version of the app.” “We’ve been testing push notifications internally,” the rep continued. “Push isn’t ready yet, but we look forward to rolling this out soon.R ...
