I never thought of this benefit when I set out to do things regularly on the web, be it actually writing in your my space (that thing that seems to be now called newslettering, WTF), posting photos, even spewing to some social media platform formerly known as something else). In some, not nearly all or […]
I previously blabbed that Twitter had done a full reverse cycle to its first impression in 2007 of being “that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard of”– I was wrong. The stupid levels have gone much lower, like DEFCON -1. I don’t need to say much. And I am not the first to lament the […]
Hello blog it’s been a while, and his post has been idling in neutral. Just about everyone has written their bird song post for Twitter. I won’t refer to it by some algebraic like single letter, nor to “The platform previously known as Twitter”- it always was, is, and in death spiral, just silly Twitter. […]
The Musky Dark Lord of Twitter has finally cast the fun loving, roll-in-the-grass-like-a-happy-dog DS106 Daily Create off of the tweeting lawn. This marks the end of 3811 successive never missed a single day of tweeting fun creative challenges openly and the last 2813 of them had, until today, been able to have their responses collected […]
Just typing the “t” word brings all the smelly fetid connotations. Still, twitter can be a swell place, Wally. The writing on the wall is happening for a string of my web sites and some silly experiments that likely the world will not suffer to be without. And while this week we are hearing of […]
Usually it’s the kind of notification from the twitter app I dismiss without notice. But given it was the same day I dissed their other big offer I did give some pause of twitter telling me it was 15 years ago today I signed up for their silly service. No I am not going to […]
I’m a huge fan and repeat user of Martin Hawksey’s Twitter TAGS. If you are doing a class or project with activity around a hashtag, and you are not using this tool, just stop everything and set one up. It’s rather brilliant, a Google Spreadsheet with some Hawksey-ian script genius underneath. It archives all tweets […]
I find myself people missing maybe the easiest and most sensible way to curate, publish sets of curated tweets. When storify announced it was biting the dust/pooping the web, amongst the rush to jump to some other hosted platform or use my arcane tool, what I noticed was about 90% of the ways people talked […]
I’ve been enjoying listening to more doses of classic Ike and Tina Turner funk and R&B; these are in my collection thanks to @easegill sharing me his entire South Pacific music library when I visited New Zealand in 2015. This one song came on today that really caught my attention with it’s groove: (It has […]
From our initial visits and surveys of participants, we knew twitter was not in wide use among the faculty participants of the UDG Agora project. We heard people mostly use Facebook, and WhatsApp for quick communication. In our first meetings, we collecting some data for participant’s twitter awareness (this was only sent out the first […]
