More usefully, this is an article about how Twitter is trying to deal with spam through its "Trust & Safety" team. The most interesting thing is how they define what spam is, a uniquely challenging prospect on Twitter.

Organised by Danny Nicholson, I really like this idea of a blog carnival, a collection of broadly themed blog posts from a number of authors all hosted on one blog (as well as the original ones).
It's a bit like a blogging conference with a range of keynotes or even a sort of magazine format. I hope there are going to be more of these.

Grateful to @jamesclay for blogging about this as I'd read Danah's post a while ago then completely forgot where I'd read it and who had written it.
It's a good entry to the debate about how tweeting on the backchannel at a live event can impact on a speaker.
I don't see this as a reason to not have a backchannel or a twittersteam visible during an event but there are interesting lessons here for speakers as well as tweeters.

A little late for the innovation module but A couple of us in the office have been transfixed by this promo film of an early Polaroid camera. Brilliant example of bringing together mechanics, chemistry, electronics and art to produce something really innovative.
