Tout le monde connaît Twitter (sinon allez voir par ici), mais tout le monde ne sait pas comment trouver des informations pertinentes dans cette base de données gigantesque ! Souvent qualifié de l'AFP du net, Twitter est vaste et complexe (messages abrégés, vocabulaire spécifique, multi-linguisme…). Voyons comment rechercher les informations à l'aide de techniques plus ou moins évidentes

[Demain tous journalistes ?] "Je profite de la lecture d'un post très intéressant sur la fameuse rumeur qui a couru sur Twitter durant les événements de Mumbai (Bombay) pour répondre aux commentaires générés par mon dernier billet sur le sujet. Stephane Dangel: "Comment par contre, authentifier avec un maximum de certitude une breaking news transmise par twitter ou n'importe quel autre device ?" " (...)

[Notules, Chroniques vagabondes] Comment expliquer le succès phénoménal de Twitter ? "La semaine dernière, en évoquant Europeana, nous avons parlé des portails à très grande échelle. Aujourd'hui, je voudrais discuter l'évolution actuelle des Microformats, surtout celle représentée par le service Twitter. Twitter, c'est l'équivalent d'un SMS sur le web. Les attentats de Bombay ont démontré encore une fois l'utilité et l'importance de la plateforme (des blogueurs ont été les premiers à reporter les attentats et à les suivre en direct): Twitter une communication quasi-instantannée, une multiplicité de voix et de perspectives et une large diversité de contenu. Tel qu'il semble évoluer en ce moment, le service est en train de modifier la culture du réseau en légitimant une pratique ancrée dans la liberté de la contrainte: bavardage et superflu sont éliminés au profit de l'exactitude et de la promptitude" (...)

To include more, we'll limit each one to the Twitter capacity of 140 characters. We're looking for insights on how social media has changed business, media, technology, life, not necessarily in that order. Anyone who wants can either leave 140-character comments here, or Twitter them addressed to @stevebaker

For companies that choose to use Overheard, the service will scour the public Twitter stream using Summize to find when that company's name is mentioned. These tweets (Twitter messages) will then be piped into the Get Satisfaction support network. Here they can be used just as if the question were asked or the comment made on the site itself. Others can respond to these messages, and Overheard will alert the user on Twitter that their question is being answered on Get Satisfaction.

How will this start changing the game? Josh Korr of Publishing 2.0 reports that about a week ago, four journalists from Washington state began reporting a major local story in collaboration with each other on Twitter. Writes Korr:Those four journalists weren't in the same newsroom. In fact, they all work for different media companies. And here's the best part: Some of them have never even met in person.Could journalists have discovered the same thing we have also been exploring collectively online? That collaboration strengthens a network and draws more readers, not less. I also agree with Korr that news organizations need to start investing in smart journalists who get the power of cooperation. To summarize what these fine professionals did: Acted in real time and focused on the reporting of the events - in line with the Twitter culture of immediacy as well as a sense of urgency for their readers at the respective mastheads Collaborated with each other to cover the story as it was unfolding instead of worrying about the credit - imagine the first cross-news organization team that wins a Pulitzer, now wouldn't that be news? Provided higher quality news than just one person doing the reporting. There was some skepticism in the comments to Korr's post. Maybe this is not the first time journalists network for a news story. This collaboration so open on Twitter seems quite novel to me.I know some of my readers are journalists or are studying journalism. What possibilities do you see...

Rebuttal to an article critical of twitter published in the New Yorker. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/georgepacker/2010/01/stop-the-world.html Some interesting comments at the end of the post. Could be a good prompt for a class discussion.
