Twitter Announces @Anywhere: Evan Williams SXSW Keynote
Sitting in a black leather chair in front of a packed house, Evan Williams, CEO and founder of Twitter didn’t waste any time before announcing the newest feature for Twitter users around the world – @Anywhere.
The tool, which actually lets users interact with Twitter users and organizations using Twitter on Web sites, truly embodies the name by allowing the clicker to follow or message a user directly from the hover-enabled Twitter menu that pops up. At launch the program will include sites like The New York Times, Bing, Yahoo! and others. Look for more information on this new tool soon. For more information about the new service, check out the Twitter blog.
In the interview-style keynote, Williams also talked a bit about the continued goals of Twitter. With such explosive growth, companies can sometimes lost their path, but Williams assured the audience that Twitter is still working toward their original goals. “We’re still focused on how we create the best experience for users and businesses,” said Williams.
More to come after the keynote.
