United Airlines discovers how to gain revenue using Twitter and male enhancement pills
Hey, times are tough and if United Airlines has to advertise sex pills on Twitter to keep costs down, I’m all for it. Maybe the company needed the extra revenue and used Twitter instead of installing quarter meters on its plane’s bathrooms. Or the account was hacked. Either way, it makes for a fun, Friday morning post. [ via ]

Official Twitter for Android app goes live, will go open source

Twitter had committed to rolling its own client for not long ago — and like clockwork, here it is. Looks like the OS integration goes pretty deep, too, with support for Éclair’s Quick Contact bar and tweeting straight from the Gallery app; you’ve also got a timeline widget for your home screen, and you can even see your friends’ latest tweets from your contact list and the Google Talk app. It sounds like Twitter worked pretty closely with Google to make this happen, contributing the code to Android’s trunk for open sourcing in the near future — and developers will even have access to a set of standard Twitter APIs for their own applications. The only downside appears to be that you need to use it, but that’s just an excuse to run out and upgrade to a sweet new phone, right?

Survey says: Android users mostly male, webOS not just for women, iPod touch for kids

Jump down off that and holster your brew Droid owners, the stats are in for smartphone gender preferences. The numbers reported above are based on a AdMob survey of 963 total respondents consisting of 318 Android, 244 iPhone, 356 iPod touch and 45 webOS users in english speaking countries. According to the data collected between 5 February to the 16 February, men make up a whopping 73% of all Android device users. Even webOS, that smartphone OS from Palm that’s supposedly aimed at the ladies carries a 58% male to 42% female preference, almost exactly the same as the iPhone. While it would be easy to suggest that Verizon’s advertising campaign for Droid (one of the Android handsets) helped skew the demographics, it doesn’t explain why its Palm ads failed to skew the webOS numbers. Perhaps it’s an unspoken man on robot love that we all recognize as truth but choose not to discuss openly for fear of reprisal? Or maybe it’s a lack of recognition for what Asian marketing geniuses figured out long ago: a device has to be and with just a to woo the more fickle tastes of the female demographic. Uh, yeah.
Also of interest is the Age by Platform data that shows 78% of iPod touch users are below the age of 25 compared to 25% of iPhone users and 24% of webOS and Android users. In fact, 65% of the platform are just 17 years of age or younger. That would explain the demand for all the biscuit floating apps. See the chart after the break.
