    'The house that tweets' This 2 minute video interview with Andy Stanford-Clark is much more entertaining than the YouTube interview I bookmarked earlier. Lots of action shots of home telemetry, Andy's Java midlet on his phone, and what I think is a GNOME desktop showing his home's web interface.

  • It's not that conversation doesn't occur, it's that I don't think that networks of conversations are the best way to understand the Twitter information ecosystem. A long-tail distribution of information sharing entities (accounts) co-creating knowledge is better, I think.
