      I'm surprised that Twitter can't present a conversation in a meaningful way. Compare with Identi.ca running StatusNet, examples: http://identi.ca/conversation/12018048 http://identi.ca/conversation/12000057 http://identi.ca/conversation/11701331#notice-11822415

      I needed a guide to configuring a microblogging client (twhirl) to work with a StatusNet server. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I gained an answer.

      Really not as good as it should be.

      I expect to tune my Diigo network over a period of months.
  • how to feed the network of people who follow you
  • IRL ("in real life")
  • some personal element going, but not to overdo it
  • not crank up the self-promotion
  • skills to use productively
  • If it isn't fun, it won't be useful
  • attention literacy
  • ten to twenty minutes to regain full focus when returning to a task that requires concentrated attention

    "Sure, Twitter is banal and trivial, full of self-promotion and outright spam. So is the Internet. The difference between seeing Twitter as a waste of time or as a powerful new community amplifier depends entirely on how you look at it - on knowing how to look at it."

    In a Tweet, I used the TinyURL of a Diigo Meta page. Twitter ignored my paste, over-wrote it with a bit.ly URL that warns users against proceeding. No thanks for breaking my Tweet, kthxBYE Twitter and I must think twice before using it for sharing URLs. (Identi.ca running StatusNet worked first time. Oh hai Identi.ca kisses.)
