Twitter en France ? De la reconnaissance et de l'expérimentation
Le site de micro-blogging est identifié par un nombre important d'internautes et d'entreprises français. Mais pas encore forcément utilisé. Résultats de l'étude réalisée par L'Atelier et FaberNovel.
Petits ratages de l’information à flux tendu
L’addiction aux flux d’information en temps réel dans lesquels permet de s’immerger Twitter peut être la source de bien des confusions. Elle ne laisse pas toujours de place à la mémoire, à la distanciation ou au recul. Récit de petits ratages de l’information à flux tendu, qui devraient amener les journalistes à faire preuve de la plus extrême vigilance.
Twitter mishaps and netiquette for journalists
Evidence suggests navigating the social web can be a bit of challenge for journalists, but does that mean we need a new set of ethical guidelines to manage their conduct?
Twitter pour les journalistes : snob ou incontournable ? (par @MaudeML)
LePost proposait récemment, dans sa rubrique Twitt’heure, une interview croisée de quatre jeunes webjournalistes au sujet de l’outil Twitter et de ses usages. Comment ces professionnels, à la fois journalistes et chevronnés du web, voient-ils et utilisent-ils cet outil de discussion où chacun peut écrire des messages de 140 signes maximum ?
Twitt'heure > Quand Twitter inspire lePost.fr
Actualité suivie en continu, dialogue avec les internautes et appel au journalisme participatif. Lancé par Le Monde interactif, lepost.fr fait partie des sites d’information qui ont su se faire un nom sur la Toile. Après deux ans d’existence, les concurrents sont toujours plus nombreux. Il est temps de se renouveler. L’équipe de rédaction planche donc sur un nouveau projet destiné à la rubrique « le Post TV ».
Twitterverse is Shocked, SHOCKED Obama Admitted to Never Using Twitter
Meanwhile, I expect we'll see more hoopla about Barack Obama not using Twitter, even though his campaign never asserted that he did himself. So far about half of the follow-up tweets on the #obamacn hashtag are RT's about the admission and the other half is people responding that they never thought he was tweeting. Are 50% of Twitter users really that surprised?
Fort Hood Shooting Shows How Twitter, Lists Can be Used for Breaking News
Days after Twitter Lists were introduced to the public, the shootings at Fort Hood on Thursday showed the power of this feature to cover a major news event in real-time.
The ethics of real-time social reporting (Paul Carr)
Paul Carr has written a thought provoking post for TechCrunch looking at the role of social media and real-time citizen reporting in last week’s Fort Hood shootings.
He asks how, even with the best intentions, how many of us are often drawn into a acting in a way of “look at me looking at this” and may be losing a sense of our humanity
For election insight, Twitter beats cable (via @fondapol)
For hardcore lovers of politics, Twitter served up the real-time nuts and bolts of campaigns racing to the finish line.
Refining the Twitter Explosion With GPS (NYTimes.com)
Which is why a new feature that Twitter says it could unveil in the next few weeks — “geolocation” — holds such potential to make the Twitter rapids navigable.
The idea is to take advantage of global positioning systems on cellphones to allow Twitter users to include a precise location with each tweet. Users would be able, right off the bat, to limit their searches to tweets from a particular location.
Fort Hood Shootings: News Orgs Put Twitter Lists to the Test
Earlier this week, we wrote about how news organizations are already using Twitter Lists. Today, they’re getting their first major test, by way of a tragic breaking news event – a deadly shooting at Fort Hood in Texas.
Why is Gen Y Now Flocking to Twitter? (theories and speculations)
So what gives? Why has Gen Y seemingly changed their minds about the social microblogging network that only months ago they avoided? A recent AP article offered up some ideas including the influx of celebrity tweeters, pressure from teachers or bosses, and it even hinted that Gen Y'ers entering the workplace have found value in the network for business-related purposes. That same sentiment was shared by Meredith Sires of Gen Y trend-watching site, YPulse. She theorizes that the rapid growth in the 18-24 demographic has to do more with the recent college graduates segment of that group finding ways to build entirely new online contact lists and create new identities more closely tied to information-sharing.
Why millions of brains love (and hate) twitter
To me, Twitter is the Google of social media. Part of Google's success is that in the early days it bet on a very different approach to online advertising. When everyone else was doing banner ads, Google decided to limit advertising to a small fixed number of characters. No pictures, no fluff.
Mob Rule! How Users Took Over Twitter
Twitter itself didn’t invent retweeting; it was created by Twitter users. In a blog post explaining the changes to retweets, the company’s second-in-command, Biz Stone, called them “a great example of Twitter teaching us what it wants to be.”
danah boyd : Some thoughts on Twitter vs. Facebook Status Updates
Different social media spaces have different norms. You may not be able to describe them, but you sure can feel them. Finding the space the clicks with you is often tricky, just as finding a voice in a new setting can be. This is not to say that one space is better than the other. I don't believe that at all. But I do believe that Facebook and Twitter are actually quite culturally distinct and that trying to create features to bridge them won't actually resolve the cultural differences. And boy is it fun to watch these spaces evolve.
Twitter Use Up Among Social Network, Mobile, and Younger Users
Twitter use and status updates in general are on the rise among Internet users overall and several specific user groups as compared to 2008 and earlier this year, according to research just released from the Pew Internet Project.
Iran : "Twitter was a significant tool of, if not revolution, at least activism"
"All social networking media ... is a panic augmenter or an anger maximizer," he said. "Certainly it was a good way of spreading misinformation."
In the absence of other sources, this amplified mix of noise and facts made a difference inside Iran as well as abroad; Seeing their messages multiplied by other Iranians and non-Iranians alike, protesters were led to think: "Clearly we're in the majority, and clearly the elections have been thrown ... and so clearly we should go out into the streets."
In this sense, Twitter was a significant tool of, if not revolution, at least activism. "It has been a dream for democracy activists," said Athanasiadis. But the flip side of this is equally true: "Social networking tends to group like-minded people together." To see this grouping as a true reflection of the world is dangerous.
The Science of ReTweets Report | @DanZarrella
One of the most actively discussed aspects of Twitter is the art and science of retweets. Retweets, in my opinion, are one of the most sincere forms of recognition and validation, empowering users to pay it forward through the recognition of noteworthy content. According to Dan, retweets also serve as the foundation for assessing the qualities of viral content, “You don’t spread ideas just because they are “good;” you spread them because of some other trigger or set of triggers has been pulled in your brain. We can now compare millions of viral ideas to uncover the building blocks of contagiousness.”
La nouvelle étude de la Pew sur la statusphère
Some 19% of internet users now say they use Twitter or another service to share updates about themselves, or to see updates about others. This represents a significant increase over previous surveys in December 2008 and April 2009, when 11% of internet users said they use a status-update service
L'avenir de Twitter passe-t-il par le SMS ?
« Aussi puissant qu'Internet ait pu devenir pour la démocratisation de l'information, sa portée reste limitée comparée à celle du message texte mobile, un format fait pour Twitter », explique Biz Stone, cofondateur du service. Twitter propose déjà l'accès par SMS aux Etats-Unis, Canada, en Angleterre et Nouvelle Zélande.
