Great blog post by Liz Strauss on the 25 traits of twitter folks I admire.

Diane Cordell's excellent post on being "nobody" in the edu-online world and loving it :-)

This is a mesmorizing way to watch the Twitter public feed. All new Tweets are shown in real-time and twitscan captures all of the latest URLs and posts them on the right of the page.

Watch Twitter posts in real-time.

Pick of the Twitter is a free service that selects specific "tweets" (posts) from the public timeline of the messaging service Twitter.

A cool way to post to your multiple Twitter accounts without having to log on to each one!

Current features of Twadle include: * Create short links on the fly - just type a long URL, and it will be replaced with a shorter one, saving you valuable characters. * Live Tweet Preview lets you see what your Tweet will look like - short links and all - before you hit Update. * Track links - see how many people clicked on the link you posted. Great for learning how to write compelling headlines. * Attach Files to your Tweets. Right now you can attach images - but MP3s and more are coming! * Super Secret SEO Feature - upgrade your account with an Invite Code, and add extra features to Twadl. You won't be dissapointed.

I checked out Twitter some time ago and couldn't really see what all the fuss was about. Embarrassingly, after signing up for an account people started following my Twitter even though I wasn't posting! I've also been hearing so many people raving about Twitter that I thought maybe I should give it another chance.

in this post I want to talk about a new resource that was just made available that is completely unique in a way that it is 100% Affiliate Marketer friendly and manages to give you HUGE boost! And I will also provide you with a great resource to start taking advantage of those benefits RIGHT NOW

Social Profiles is a Wordpress plugin which lets you add links to your commenters' social profiles. The links can be text links or graphical ones, but only registered users of your Wordpress site can input these, thus allowing these profiles to show in their comments on your blog posts.12 different social networks are included - Twitter, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, being some.

A bot that interfaces between irc and twitter. To use just edit the bot and change the config: my $ircserver = 'irc.inet.tele.dk'; //add your irc network my $ircchannel = '#corporate'; //add your irc channel my $nickname = '``twitter'; //add your twitter bots nick my $username = 'twittwittwit'; //add your twitter bots name my $twituser = 'twitterusername'; //add your twitter username my $twitpass= 'twitterpassword'; //add your twitter password then execute it with the usual: jhr@nata2:~$#$ perl twitter.pl It should output some status and server MOTD info and eventually connect to your channel. Once connected, you should be able to send an update to twitter by typing: !twitter update text to send to twitter If all goes well, an update will be sent to the twitter API and your update will be posted. The bot is also configured to send an update on channel topic change.

Interesting post with some great idea idea for using Twitter in the classroom

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...
