  • Twitter @anywhere is designed to simplify the integration process and to

    is still in development, Twitter has already announced a number of
    founding partners on their blog
    including Amazon, AdAge, Bing, Citysearch, Digg, eBay, The Huffington
    Post, Meebo, MSNBC.com, The New York Times, Salesforce.com, Yahoo!, and
    YouTube.

    YouTube user Socialnerdia has posted some rather shaky cameraphone footage of @anywhere in action from SXSW which gives a good idea of how @anywhere will work.
