Ad Age article on the golden age of small agencies. Nothing too new that I haven't been saying but nice to see the opinion is widely shared.

Twitter Unveils @AnyWhere Platform @ SXSW

Per Online Media Daily Twitter Unveils @AnyWhere Platform, But Not Ad Plans At SXSW.

Twitter CEO Evan Williams showed off new technology Monday that lets content partners cleanly pull Twitter links and streams onto their Web site through JavaScript, instead of an API, but kept hush on advertising plans.... the technology allows partners to stream tweets onto their Web site, mouse over content that pulls up a "hover card" for more information, and connect with those who tweet to read and respond to posts with one click. When the service launches with Amazon, Bing, Citysearch, Digg, Salesforce, YouTube, Yahoo and a handful of media sites, people will have an option to follow tweets without leaving the Web site.

That last part is cool. Thy did not give a date for rollout so well need to wait and see.
