It’s been frequently noted that the response effect of twitter is not a simple matter of opening an account and yelling for help; as a new tweeter you get the tree-falling silently effect. That said, I feel overwhelmingly fortunate to put out a single request and get a string of responses. With this, and despite [...]

For the 10 gazillionth time the network (as in the people I am connected to) saves the day again. For some upcoming presentations and conferences, I was hoping to set up TwitterCamp, a desktop app (Mac and PC) that runs in Adobe Air and displays in near real time the incoming tweets for a specific [...]

It was with a smile I just saw the title in my RSS reader that I knew that another initial skeptic, George Siemens, had followed the path I charted in April 2007 as the Twitter Life Cycle.

I leave it to Phillie Casablanca to issue the Twitter Commandments now available in pretty flickr form– to jump into parody mode, “I Give You These 15…. 10 Twitter Commandments”:

So this is extremely useful to track replies people may make to you who are [...]

Of course I find the coolest of new stuff in my twitter stream, like from Dean Shareski just know came a link to Tweeterboard- a site that provides analytics on tweeters, their activity, what they are linking to, etc.
Tweeterboard is a way of looking at who is influential on Twitter based on their [...]

This came to me during some reflection at the NMC Regional Conference at Tulane [...]

No, I will not follow this crud on twitter:

That is a quick delete.
In a few days I predict invites bearing glorious news like:
Texas Holdem Galore (txpokerscum) is now following your updates on Twitter..
ViagraPropeciaCialis (thebluepill) is now following your updates on Twitter…
NastyAnimalSex (dontclickhere) is now following your updates on Twitter…

Hughs Law to be proved any day [...]
