RT @lenthib: Pourquoi Twitter a-t-il du mal à décoller en France ? (par @orlnt) http://t.co… http://goo.gl/fb/6xrKP

[documental.com] Un dossier complet sur Twitter : "Peut-on communiquer efficacement lorsqu'on ne dispose que de 140 caractères pour s'exprimer ? En d'autres termes, le micro-blogging a-t-il vraiment un intérêt ? A en croire les blogueurs confirmés, Twitter, l'outil phare du domaine, est devenu Le nouvel outil indispensable de leur panoplie 2.0." (...)

When choosing a map - especially a social network map - which do you prefer - pretty or useful? In an ideal world I would take pretty useful, but forced to choose between the two I'll take useful. Here are two social graphs taken from my Twitter following data. -Valdis Krebs, InFlow, Social Network Analysis Expert

This blog is focused on "exploding" old concepts and thinking about economies, organizations, communities, and groups. We will focus on patterns of connectivity and self-organizing behavior in economic and social networks and how these new structures lead to resilience, adaptability, agility, and innovation.

Excellent article about the research from several researchers about Tweets that are compelling and those that are turn-offs. This and the original research are both great reads. I thought it funny that people particularly hate foursquare check ins mentioned through Twitter, so unlink that account or lose followers! "One piece of advice: Nix the "sandwich tweets." People do not care what you are eating for lunch. (Specifically: "Sorry, but I don't care what people are eating," "too much personal info," "He moans about this ALL THE TIME. Seriously.") Twitter, as a communications platform, has evolved beyond nascent Twttr's charmingly mundane updates ("cleaning my apartment"; "hungry") and into something more crowd-conscious and curatorial. Though Twitter won't necessarily replace traditional news, it increasingly functions as a real-time newswire, disseminating and amplifying information gathered from the world and the web.

The Twitter #ideaparty is fun, once you get the hang of it. To get started, I just went to www.tweetchat.com, entered my Twitter name & password, then selected ideaparty to get into the chat room. Nice thing is that it then automatically plugs in the "#ideaparty" for you, but of course that counts as some of your 140 characters for a tweet. There is so much traffic already in the #ideaparty already on some days, I can hardly wait to see how it goes on the BIG launch day, Tuesday March 24, 2009, for the World Wide Rave for Wishcraft 30th Anniversary edition. Awesome stuff!

Barbara Sher, author of Wishcraft, started a Twitter thread-thingie called #ideaparty. Its for problem-solving wishes and obstacles together with other Twitterers. You can join the party thru a "chat" room, or do it thru your Twitter account. Just use the #ideaparty hashtag. Read this first: http://www.barbarasherwishcraft.com/
