I find that celebrity Twitters leave me cold because it is a totally one way diatribe rather than a conversation, not even a potential conversation. It echoes of old media where we were interrupted by messages whether we wanted them or not. On Twitter I find that on a similar level with a lot of people that they blast their messages out but often fail to participate with others (unless they have some higher standing in the community). I have always loved communication but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Why can't there be more communication on Twitter instead of everyone madly trying to get their message across. I read the other day on a post that the only way to influence a conversation is to become involved in social media. As a coach, I immediately bristled at the word 'influence' - that does not necessarily mean communicate. Old habits die hard, me thinks, this smacks of the broadcast flavor more than the communicate flavor? What do you think?Pemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694816955747818794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-13992510118183303082009-09-24T18:15:28.854+01:002009-09-24T18:15:28.854+01:00Love the 'Friend's Trends' option... b...Love the 'Friend's Trends' option... but it could be a drop down box with LOTS of options, like:<br /><br />Friends<br />Locations<br />People with lots of followers<br />People who tweet less than once a day<br />Language<br /><br />...or indeed let YOU define the search crowd by asking you to specifiy words which are:<br /><br />Included in bio<br />Mentioned 5%+ of the time in tweets<br /><br />...etc etc etc<br /><br />Basically, it lets you decide any type of group amongst which you can search for trends.john v willshirehttp://feedingthepuppy.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-63486916290780733542009-09-24T12:10:56.168+01:002009-09-24T12:10:56.168+01:00I completely agree.

Joel Mark Witt pointed out Trendsmap on his site yesterday: http://joel-mark-witt.com/blog/2009/geographic-trends-on-twitter-and-an-assignment/<br /><br />Granted, geo-meta data is going to be pretty messy, but if there is value there people and companies will be incented to clean it up.Taylor Davidsonhttp://www.taylordavidson.com/writingnoreply@blogger.com
