A great experience. Godd vibes, connections and shared knowledge for us to keep working with Django. This framework and Plone, that great open CMS, are the main tools we use in CodeSyntax to develop web projects. Each conference that we attend confirms that we chose technologies well :-) No publisher aitzol djangocon django 2013-05-22T15:20:50Z News Item http://www.codesyntax.com/en/blog/right-from-the-djangocon-circus We are two programmers from CodeSyntax here the DjangoCon in Warsaw, happy to be in this circus (yes, we are in a tent!).

Twitter itself has not the answer. Although in the latest city deployment of Twitter trend locations there is Bilbao there (main Basque city), still it's not a good measure of our community. As a matter of fact, looks like Twitter only treats TT's geographically, not by language. Well, we built that tool for Basque: Umap.eu, tracking Basque trends, content and users in Twitter.

Complex data arranged in a visually attractive way are good practice to spread messages virally on social sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or Tumblr. Good infography is easy to catch in a moment, and the availability of a simple social object (an image), facilitates the action of sharing and virality.
