    But what you rapidly find is that you're taken by the scruff of the internet over to Twitter where you're, um, encouraged to authorise the game to access your Twitter feed. (It uses the OAuth system, which means that the people behind playmobsterworld don't get your username or password. The owners have chosen to hide their identities by using Domainsbyproxy, and haven't left an email address on their website, so we don't know who they are, and couldn't contact them.) Once you've done that, the "game" will then spew that invitation in the form of a direct message to everyone it can. (The people who receive it are the ones who follow you, and who you also follow. They're the only group you can direct message on Twitter.) And so those DMs turn up in peoples' feeds, and they click them.. and so on. You'd think that by now Mobster World would be played by everyone. Not so. Instead many people - the non-players - get annoyed by it.

    here are a few ways that you can provide your Twitter community with massive value 90% of the time. Of course, you should aim to provide your followers with value 100% of the time, but we'll leave the remaining 10% of self-serving value until another time.

  • almost no one knows what to do when they first get to Twitter, a problem that is starting to be fixed by the Twitter guys. Second, almost everyone in business comes to Twitter to say something and nearly always they figure out that it is at least equally valuable as a listening tool. The end result is that people use Twitter to have interesting conversations.
  • one of the common threads between the millions of people using Twitter is that we are all there for interesting conversations. Not every conversation is interesting--just like in real life. But enough are
  • Someone I know with lots more followers than I have, shared with me this week that she is afraid to offend anyone for fear of losing followers. My response was, "screw them." Twitter is a place where you should be free to say what you want in the style that you want.

  • Don't be afraid to change subjects if your interests change. You may end up with smaller numbers, but you will end up talking with people who share your passions and focus.

    Twitter is the great equalizer. It doesn't matter if you have 100 followers or 10,000, you can break news. That's because all tweets are recorded and indexed at search.twitter.com. If someone types the right keyword(s), they can find your tweet. Breaking Tweets prides itself on giving many different types of Twitterers credit for breaking news, whether it be someone in Honduras with a dozen followers recording the first "earthquake" tweet or a news organization providing the first details of a major story. But how do you know a tweet's legitimate?

  • I had a simple answer for Steve: Quit following the annoying bastard. Let's not forget that technology gives us both the power to connect and the power to pull the plug.
  • Of course, who and how many people you follow depends on your goals. Mine are more about learning and less about promotion, or building a large following. Even with hype at an all-time high, there are ways I get tremendous value from Twitter.
  • Twitter connects me to some of the best thinking and writing about social media and digital technologies, through links to blogs that I would never see otherwise

  • Part of my interest in this turn to Twitter comes from disappointment with most university press blogs, which often seem more like PR vehicles than genuine blogs with discussion, disagreement, expressions of real enthusiasm or curiosity or whatever. Reading very many of them at one sitting feels like attending a banquet where you are served salt-free soda crackers and caffeine-free Mountain Dew that's gone flat.By contrast, university-press publicists seem more inclined to experiment and to follow tangents with Twitter than they do on their own official websites. They link to material they have posted at the press’s blog, of course – but also to news and commentary that may be only obliquely related to the books in their catalog. It’s as if they escape from beneath the institutional superego long enough to get into the spirit of blogging, proper.
  • The range and the interest of Duke's tweets make its presence exemplary, in my opinion. Between drafting and rewriting this column, for example, I followed Duke's tweets to a newspaper article about whether or not English was approaching one million words, a blog post about rock songs cued to Joyce's Ulysses, and the Twitter feed of Duke author Negar Mottahedeh, who has been posting about events in Iran.
  • She then makes a point that bears stressing given how often university-press blogs tend to be coated in institutional gray: “I think that any kind of social networking needs to have a personality tied to it in order for it to be successful. Also, I think you really need to participate in the media in order for it to be successful. We ask people for questions and opinions, offer giveaways sometimes. My main goal is to try to get people talking -- either with me or with each other about our books and authors.... You can't just provide information or news feeds to reviews and articles about your books. Involving the Press in what is going, contributing to the various discussions, and asking (and answering) questions is really the way to grow your following.”

  • We can all agree that, whenever an Evening Standard or Daily Mail headline asks a rhetorical question, there's usually only one correct response: take the paper, tear it into thin strips, crumple those strips into a tight ball and set fire to the ball, before hurling it into the sea, screaming "shut up, shut up" over and over at the top of your lungs.
  • I had to spend twenty hours a day for two long weeks in Second Life before I was able to say with certainty that all of its users can bite me.
  • until eight months ago, I felt exactly the same way. And then I got hooked.

  • Eight months and 2537 updates later, I honestly have no idea how I lived without Twitter. I've lost count of the number of adventures I've had because of it, or how many spontaneous lunches, or parties or – let's not be coy here – hook-ups have resulted from a simple 140-character message (that's 140 characters not 160, Nick). I know friends who have been offered jobs through Twitter, I've flown to other continents to attend events purely on the strength of Twitter chatter surrounding them, and I can't remember the last time I Twittered a difficult question that wasn't answered in minutes, often by someone half a world away.
  • Suddenly these were not just nameless faces on the news, but people who hours earlier had been Twittering about their pets or how they were eating a sandwich, but who now feared for their lives. You can't read that stuff and not realise that, as humans, we're all in this together. And that's where Twitter, unlike Facebook, has the potential to change the world. You don't have to be my 'friend' or my 'contact'. If you're on Twitter, we're connected. You can follow my updates, and I can follow yours. If you want to say something to me personally, just begin your update with @paulcarr and I'll hear you. On Twitter, everyone is equal.
