THE World's longest-married couple -- 86 years -- will be giving free marriage advice on Twitter this Valentine's Day.

Humourous twitter advice.

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.

It's no secret that one of the keys to Twitter monetizing their service is charging businesses for a premium service. But now we have TwitFilter.

Very useful advice - hope all Twitterers pay attention. Twitter is going to become less and less useful if people don't start using some common sense and stop abusing the service.

Surprisingly good analysis. There are even a few surprises here!

Twitter is for microblogging, not for link-spamming your macroblog. Why your link spam bot does not cut it.
