Desktop Users Can Send Docs to Kindle in 2 Clicks
Jan 12th
Amazon has released a new ‘Send to Kindle’ feature for PC users. It’s a downloadable extension for Windows that adds a ‘Send to Kindle’ option when right-clicking on a file in Windows Explorer or in the print dialog in any application.
Files sent with Send to Kindle go to the user’s Kindle Library, and they can be downloaded on the e-ink Kindle models as well as the iOS Kindle app. The last-read page, bookmarks, notes and highlights are synchronized automatically, except for PDFs. The Kindle Fire is not listed. Support for Mac is “coming soon.”

This is actually a major feature. It makes sending Word documents, PDFs or text snippets to Kindle almost effortless. It turns Kindle into a powerful content-shifting service. It was relatively easy to send devices to Kindle via email before, and that feature still works, but now any file can be sent with two clicks, and any thing that can be printed can be sent to Kindle instead.
Content shifting was one of our top trends of 2011 because many impressive solutions for reading later popped up this year on different platforms. The Kindle service was already noteworthy for content shifting due to its whisper-syncing of books and other content, but now it’s easy to send virtually any document to the Kindle.
Do you have a Kindle device? Which one(s) do you use?

How Link Placement Affects Clicks on Twitter
Oct 24th
When it comes to crafting social status updates to ensure maximum exposure and click-throughs, many of the tried-and-true methods seem somewhat obvious. Posting at certain times of day, for example, can have a dramatic impact on performance. Makes perfect sense.
Sometimes, effective optimization can come from places you didn’t expect, and the only way to find out is by analyzing a large set of cold, hard data.
Sponsor
That’s exactly what Dan Zarrella does for a living. The self-proclaimed “social media scientist” at HubSpot examines large datasets from sources like Twitter and Bit.ly and then publishes some of his findings.
Recently, Zarrella discovered that where the link is located in a given tweet can actually have a big impact on how many people click on it. Tweets that included the link about a quarter of the way through the tweet got clicked the most, even though it’s common practice to include the link at the tail end of a tweet.
To figure this out, Zarrella took a random sample of 200,000 tweets and used the Bit.ly API to figure out the click-through rate on each one. He cross-referenced that with where the link was located in each tweet and came up with the heat map below.
