Twitter, nuovi dati da Sysmos
Twitter è un fenomeno tutt’altro che in fase di assestamento. La crescita di messaggi giornalieri continua, così come la crescita di utenti internazionali. Da notare come gli utenti diventano mediamente più attivi dopo 9 mesi di frequentazione della piattaforma. Segno di come Twitter richieda un po’ di tempo per essere compreso fino in fondo.
Twitter vola in Venezuela sull’onda di Hugo Chavez
Reuters racconta in una storia di oggi come Twitter sia sulla cresta dell’onda in Venezuela, con numeri importanti: 200.000 utenti attivi, crescita del 1000% nell’ultimo anno. Il segreto? L’uso della piattaforma come forma di dibattito politico pubblico, al quale non si è potuto sottrarre neanche il Presidente Hugo Chavez.

Twitter, la guida Mashable

In attesa della pubblicazione del mio libro su Twitter, al quale sto lavorando intensamente proprio in questi giorni, consiglio la lettura della guida redatta da Mashable. Un buon modo per prendere confidenza con Twitter.
Twitter, il treno che ha lasciato la stazione
Twitter è così pericoloso da far bene a non usarlo? Questo è ciò che pensa un noto giornalista del New Yorker:
Twitter is crack for media addicts,” he writes. “It scares me, not because I’m morally superior to it, but because I don’t think I could handle it.
Gli risponde a tono un altro giornalista, questa volta del New York Times, con una risposta che faccio mia: Twitter è come l’avvento del treno, 150 anni fa.
I wonder if, 150 years ago, Mr. Packer would be riding the train at all, or if he would have stayed home, afraid to engage in an evolving society and demanding that the trains be stopped.

Linee guida per il microblogging dal CDC americano
Il microblogging (e Twitter) è un fenomeno ormai così consolidato da aver spinto il Center for Disease Control americano a stilare delle linee guida specifiche per usare questo strumento di comunicazione.
Neanche a dirlo, questo documento è disponibile online per tutti.
