Category Archives: MicrobloggingA few of my Twitter friends.
Lately I’ve been finding Twitter increasingly engaging and relevant in both my personal and professional life. I don’t follow a lot of people there: currently I have only 39 “Twitter friends,” only about a third of whom post regularly, the rest sporadically. But it’s useful. It helps me maintain a [...]
Snitter (top) and Spaz (bottom): Two AIR-based apps for using Twitter that I’m trying out.
While I was “Twittercasting” (part of my ever-expanding online media vocabulary) the Total Community Coverage in Cyberspace seminar in Los Angeles a few days ago, I found myself repeatedly tripped up and annoyed by the Twitter.com posting interface.
As I mentioned earlier, [...]
(NOTE: I’m cross-posting this from Poynter’s E-Media Tibits.)
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m currently using Twitter to provide live coverage of many of the sessions at a seminar from the Knight Digital Media Center called Total Community Coverage in Cyberspace. You can check in anytime today or tomorrow for my three most recent posts on the [...]
Today through Saturday I’m in downtown Los Angeles participating in the Knight Digital Media Center’s Total Community Coverage in Cyberspace seminar. You can follow the action on the special Twitter page I set up for liveblogging. (More about that.)
I’m heading off to the opening luncheon now, so most likely will start “tweeting” this afternoon. I’ll [...]
I just created a separate Twitter account for liveblogging. You can follow me there.

Here’s what my feed reader looks like right now.
I’ve lost track of how many RSS feeds I subscribe to in my feed reader — somewhere between 100 and 200, I’m guessing. But that doesn’t matter, because despite the volume it’s surprisingly manageable and rewarding. The secret, I’ve found, is to let go of any sense [...]
Some of my Twitter friends who helped me this weekend. Thanks!
Lately I’ve gotten back into Twitter — the service that is strangely addictive, yet people often can’t clearly articulate why they use it. It seems to have struck the online community at a subconscious level, and is seeking a conscious purpose or rationalization.
I’m agahran [...]
Twittermap
Twittermap is one way to find recent individual “tweets” from the wildfire region — or anywhere.
As I intimated in today’s linkblog post, the widely trivialized microblogging service Twitter seems to be redeeming itself somewhat during the current Southern CA wildfire crisis.
HyperGene Media Blog noted yesterday that the free mobile-friendly service is being used by news [...]
