HOW TO: Start and Run a Successful Twitter Chat
"If you spend enough time on Twitter (Twitter), chances are you’ll come across an occasional chat being held on the platform. Twitter chats are scheduled gatherings of people on Twitter to discuss pretty much anything that interests them, using a #hashtag to keep track of the conversation. There are chats for everything from blogging to art to agriculture — over 80 of them are listed in this great running list of Twitter chats. "
HOW TO: Use Twitter Lists
"The just-launched Twitter Lists feature is a new way to organize the people you’re following on Twitter, or find new people. In actuality, though, Twitter Lists are Twitter’s long awaited “groups” feature. They offer a way for you to bunch together other users on Twitter into groups so that you can get an overview of what they’re up to. That’s because Lists aren’t just static listings of users, but rather curated Twitter (Twitter) streams of the latest tweets from a specified set of users."
Twitter Etiquette: 7 Common Sense Rules for Twitter
"The following is a list of 7 common sense rules you should use on Twitter"
Twitter FAQ for Sociologists… « Community. Identity. Stability.
"Twitter is a social networking site where the main activity is sending out and receiving 140 character (max) information bursts (called Tweets or Chirps). People sign-up for membership using an email address and choose a unique username. After disclosing of a small amount of personal information you are given your own Twitter profile."
Harold Jarche » Learning and micro-blogging
"My own focus is using Twitter as another tool/process in personal knowledge management. Twitter can be used as a collaboration tool, performance support or knowledge management application. I’ve integrated Twitter into my sense-making process with Friday’s Finds. This helps me synthesize the various threads over a week and addresses one of Twitter’s weaknesses; long-term archiving. In addition, synchronous events like #lrnchat, held each Thursday, may take a little to get used to but are fun, informative and help build community."
LiveFyre
"LiveFyre is a place for topical, public, live-streaming conversation and debate between friends and people who like the same stuff you do. Start a Fyre about virtually anything- articles, blog posts, videos, tweets, you name it, then pose a question or statement to spark the debate. Live threading, Breakout conversations, stream filtering, and a host of other new features help organize live conversation like never before. And what good is Fyre without fuel? LiveFyre easily ties in to Twitter and Facebook so you can spread the Fyre to your friends and help it grow."
Wiffiti

The Clever Sheep: Twitter Bingo
"Earlier today, I found myself reflecting on the variety of positive professional interactions I've had on Twitter in recent days. As an illustration of the great many ways an educator can put Twitter to use, I've just created a mock-up of Twitter Bingo for Education."
The 7 Step Quick-Start Guide for New Tweeters | SimpleK12
"At last count, Twitter was being used by about 34.5 billion people (yes, bigger than the entire population of Earth and all the other planets in our solar system combined… but who’s counting?) and a big chunk of those users are still trying to figure out what they want to do with the thing."

"monitter? what is it? Simple. It's a twitter monitor, it lets you "monitter" the twitter world for a set of keywords and watch what people are saying. Cool huh?"
apophenia: Twitter: "pointless babble" or peripheral awareness + social grooming?
"Studies like this one by Pear Analytics drive me batty. They concluded that 40.55% of the tweets they coded are pointless babble; 37.55% are conversational; 8.7% have "pass along value"; 5.85% are self-promotional; 3.75% are spam; and ::gasp:: only 3.6% are news. I challenge each and every one of you to record every utterance that comes out of your mouth (and that of everyone you interact with) for an entire day. And then record every facial expression and gesture. You will most likely find what communications scholars found long ago - people are social creatures and a whole lot of what they express is phatic communication. (Phatic expressions do social work rather than conveying information... think "Hi" or "Thank you".) Now, turn all of your utterances over to an analytics firm so that they can code everything that you've said. I think that you'll be lucky if only 40% of what you say constitutes "pointless babble" to a third party ear."

I thought it might be fun to share with you some of the links that I came across last month and shared on Twitter. If you aren’t following me on Twitter yet, you should start: @sywtt"
Teaching With Twitter: Not for the Faint of Heart - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education
"As Mr. Chakravarty paces the front of a stadium-style lecture hall, wearing a wireless microphone to make sure his lecture reaches the nosebleed seats, some students crack jokes anonymously in an official Web forum. The course is one of two at Purdue that are testing homemade software called Hotseat, which lets students key in questions from their cellphones or laptops, using Twitter or Facebook. A constant stream of comments, often tangential, accompanies his talks. An incident of cheating came up early in the semester—a student asked classmates for a quiz answer. During one session this month, students took over the back channel to ask the professor to cancel class Thanksgiving week so they could have a longer vacation. "So with 41 votes are we not having class that monday of Thanksgiving?" asked one hopeful student after others had endorsed the sentiment. (The class is still on.)"
Twitter’s Tweet Smell Of Success | Nielsen Wire
"Twitterers (a.k.a. Tweeters) are not primarily teens or college students as you might expect. In fact, in February the largest age group on Twitter was 35-49; with nearly 3 million unique visitors, comprising almost 42 percent of the site’s audience. We found that the majority of people visit Twitter.com while at work, with 62 percent of the combo unique audience accessing the site from work only versus 35 percent that accessed it from home only."
