[00:02:26]Politicians have recently begun Twittering. In fact, there's 47 members of Congress who currently have Twitter accounts. 政客们最近也开始使用Twitter了。实际上，47位国会成员拥有Twitter账户。 [00:08:45]And they're Tweeting, in some cases, from behind closed-door sessions with the President. 有的时候，他们会在和总统开会发出Twitter。 [00:13:10]In this case, this guy's not liking what he's hearing. 看来，这家伙并不喜欢自己所听到的事情。 [00:16:09]The President himself is our most popular Twitter user, although his tweets have dropped off as of lately, 总统本人就是最受欢迎的Twitter用户，尽管近来他不怎么在上面发言了， [00:23:49]while Senator McCain's have picked up. As have this guy's. 不过麦凯恩参议员的Twitter使用频率却开始增加。这个人也是。 [00:31:22]Twitter was originally designed as pretty much a broadcast medium. Twitter最初只不过被设计成一个广播媒介。 [00:34:49]You send one message and it goes out to everybody, and you receive the messages you're interested in. 你发送的信息能被其他人收到，同时，你也能收到自己感兴趣的信息。 [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. 但用户们还自己发明了很多Twitter的新用法，例如，回复消息给特定的人，或者回复某条特定的消息。 [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, 比方说，大鲨鱼奥尼尔在这使用“@用户名”来回复他的某个粉丝，这种用法就完全是用户们自己发明的。 [00:56:03]and we didn't build it into the system until it already became popular and then we made it easier. Twitter本来并不支持这种用法，直到大家都开始这么用的时候，我们才增加了这个功能，方便用户。 [01:01:13]This is one of the many ways that users have shaped the system. 上面说到的只是用户帮助改进Twitter的众多方式之一。 [01:03:59]Another is via the API. We built an application programming interface, 还有一种方法是借助于API（应用编程接口）。 [01:07:33]which basically means that programmers can write software that interacts with Twitter. 我们提供了一些API，这样程序员可以编写其他程序来和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 ... 目前大约有2000种程序可以发送Twitter信息，他们可以运行在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. 同时，还有的设备可以在胎儿踢腿时发出Twitter信息，或者当植物需要浇水时发出Twitter信息。
