Twitter predicts Labour victory (UK)
Political #Twitter group Tweetminister is predicting a small Labour majority or a hung parliament after analysing millions of messages on Twitter. The results chime with those of traditional pollsters who are also predicting a very close General Election race, but it is one of the few polls to predict that Gordon Brown might emerge victorious. The political micro-bloggers will continue to analyse Twitter as the election progresses to see if word-of-mouth mentions of the candidates can help to predict who will be the winners and losers on polling day. So far it has already analysed 2 million tweets for the study, taking its inspiration from a project in Japan's 2009 General Election which looked into the correlation between "online buzz" and election results

Twitter upgrades homepage
"#Twitter's homepage is a work-in-progress. Today, we're testing a new design that bubbles up more of the information flowing through Twitter. This builds on a series of changes starting last year when we redesigned the homepage to make search and trending topics more visible and easily accessible to everyone. With that version, we brought the power of search.twitter.com to the homepage and let people explore the value of Twitter without an account."
