[Demain tous journalistes ?] "L'objectif, ici, n'est pas de produire une information low-cost sans journalistes, mais de travailler intelligemment dans le cadre d'une info en réseau. Produire une info plus pertinente par rapport aux attentes des lecteurs: hyper réactive, moins conventionnelle dans ses choix, plus "live", plus libre, avec plus de ton, de conversation, beaucoup d'émotion. Je me souviens du live de la nuit électorale américaine, pendant le discours d'Obama, un posteur a écrit: "je suis en train de pleurer". En relisant le live le lendemain, on avait non seulement une idée de ce qui s'était passé, mais aussi de l'émotion qui a saisi la France cette nuit là… D'aucuns répondront qu'il ne s'agit que de "veille d'info". Mais sur Internet, le journalisme de liens (qui trie et donne du sens) est une vraie fonction d'info. Une fonction journalistique, qui peut être assumée par des non-journalistes (le journalisme est alors vu comme une fonction, non plus comme un métier). On peut être non journaliste et excellent lecteur et decrypteur d'info. D'ailleurs, journaliste ou pas journaliste, peu importe. C'est la force du réseau qui constitue la richesse du live "participatif" " (...)

You hear about this new service that lets you send 140-character updates to your "followers," and you think, Why does the world need this, exactly? It's not as if we were all sitting around four years ago scratching our heads and saying, "If only there were a technology that would allow me to send a message to my 50 friends, alerting them in real time about my choice of breakfast cereal."

I had met Evan Williams, Twitter's co-creator, a couple of times in the dotcom '90s when he was launching Blogger.com. Back then, what people worried about was the threat that blogging posed to our attention span, with telegraphic, two-paragraph blog posts replacing long-format articles and books. With Twitter, Williams w

"Injecting Twitter into that conversation fundamentally changed the rules of engagement. It added a second layer of discussion and brought a wider audience into what would have been a private exchange. And it gave the event an afterlife on the Web. Yes, it was built entirely out of 140-character messages, but the sum total of those tweets added up to something truly substantive, like a suspension bridge made of pebbles."

This is a great article about twitter. And I really like the idea that it is a LOT about what we can DO with twitter data that makes it so compelling (all those great apps out there). "Websites that once saw their traffic dominated by Google search queries are seeing a growing number of new visitors coming from "passed links" at social networks like Twitter and Facebook. This is what the naysayers fail to understand: it's just as easy to use Twitter to spread the word about a brilliant 10,000-word New Yorker article as it is to spread the word about your Lucky Charms habit. Put those three elements together - social networks, live searching and link-sharing - and you have a cocktail that poses what may amount to the most interesting alternative to Google's near monopoly in searching."

There is a new site I'm seeing called Buffer. It lets you find things and put them into your "buffer" - another autotweeting type service. You can use with facebook but beware that often Facebook makes things not typed "live" into facebook have a lower priority and not put them on homestreams.

Power.com, a Web start-up from Brazil with some prominent backers, aims to become the portal through which people access their online social lives. It's up against no less than the world's biggest Internet companies.

If you are a teacher on twitter, you can "join" this group - which means nothing except your name is added to a list. I like this b/c it helps teachers find other teachers. Wish it let you put a little info but you can look at the twitter id's - I like that it is automated even the excessive ads are a little bothersome, I can live with that -- share your id or make another group.

A twitter monitor, it lets you "monitter" the twitter world for a set of 3 keywords and watch what people are saying

I absolutely love Monitter, it's brilliant for watching football comments coming in.

Simple. It's a twitter monitor, it lets you "monitter" the twitter world for a set of 3 keywords and watch what people are saying. Cool huh?
