Twitter
So ashamed at myself. After resisting the mass hysteria surrounding Twitter, I finally succumbed and signed up. Here's the post mortem: Met Biz Stone, the creator, last year. Nice guy, pretty interesting. For a while, news has been breaking first through Twitter, and events are covered live this way. I'm a very DIY guy. I like to get to the bottom of things, and find things out as directly from the source as possible. If I can avoid extraneous layers of coverage and processing, like TechCrunch, so much the better I like aggregating what's being said into a single field. It creates unique contexts that, whilst usually serve no purpose (perhaps even obfuscate the meaning of a piece of information), sometimes, it can magically bring a whole new context and meaning to data. I wish my email, Twitter, Facebook friend feed, and what interesting Twits have to say, were all aggregated (as long as the tool was clever in helping me spend my 'attention credits'. For a while, I've been thinking. So many people use it to communicate, it must be a decent communication tool. It looks as though it's going to develop into a better mode of communication, and...
Twitter summary 28/03/2008
I've been truly sucked into the asynchronous, broadcast instant messaging of Twitter. It's a little bizarre, but very compelling, especially when you have a desktop client running in the bottom right hand corner (I use Spaz). Here is a dump of twitters posted in the last week. I've left out the ones I used to coordinate meeting with people. You can directly follow the 'stream of consciousness' here I'm wondering what happened to Channel 4's big, audacious move into radio? "radio silence", as they say... 10:15 PM March 21, 2008 loving the new Cut Copy album. As good as the rumours said it was 01:09 AM March 22, 2008 note to self: don't eat a whole G+D banana split when trying to work - i feel like I might pass out. mmm, auspicious heaviness... 06:50 PM March 22, 2008 Just watched A Scanner Darkly. Amazing. Amazing cinematography, soundtrack by Radiohead, great cast, and a story by Philip K Dick, a genius 11:36 PM March 22, 2008 @mbites Elvis Costello will sell you an empty box http://tinyurl.com/35b4g8 01:20 AM March 23, 2008 @dubber needs mentors? jeeesus, what about us mere mortals - stop hogging the IP! 02:44 PM March 25, 2008...
Productivity in the enterprise - Twitter-style
I wonder if companies should consider setting up an internal (password protected) tool called Prologue Basically it's a private blog (hosted on a platform, in this case Wordpress.com) where you and your fellow employees can broadcast micro-updates to the rest of the org (very efficiently - you could plug the RSS feed of your coworker updates straight into your RSS reader or Outlook/Entourage, etc). I love the innovation these guys have shown - this is just a special Wordpress skin that does something clever with the Twitter microblog idea, delivering a lot of use to organisations and groups. Simple and clever. I like....
