A Visual Guide To Twitter For Beginners
You may have a Twitter account that you don’t use very often. You may tweet once in blue moon. You may just use it to ‘lurk’ during hashtag chats you enjoy. ( Check out our list of Twitter hashtags for to get started with that!) But you may not be a full-fledged Twitter user … yet. This dense and highly visual approach to understanding Twitter is just great. The below infographic is basically a beginner’s guide to Twitter except it’s one easy-to-read format: infographics!

Etude : Sur Twitter, les internautes partagent les tweets sans lire le contenu des articles C’est la conclusion faite par Dan Zarella de la société HubSpot, spécialisée dans les analyses de contenus et d’interactions sur les médias sociaux. A partir d’un corpus de 2,7 millions de tweets contenant des liens vers des articles, Dan a procédé à une analyse des clicks, des retweets, etc. Les résultats sont frappants : 16% des messages (soit 432000 tweets) ont généré plus de retweets que de clicks sur les articles, et 15% des tweets retweetés ont enregistré 0 clicks. Paresse, volonté de gagner du temps, se reposer sur l’autre, sont autant de justifications derrière cette démarche. Donc il est toujours important, selon moi, d’assurer une vérification complémentaire avant de partager le contenu. Je vous invite par ailleurs, à lire l’article publié par The Atlantic sur la démarche préconisée pour tweeter d’une manière responsable, et qui est l’un des articles les plus complets et pratiques jamais réalisés !

Twitter supprime le # de ses URLs et promet un chargement plus rapide de ses pages Jeudi 31 mai Web - 31 mai 2012 :: 10:10 :: Par Eric Dans son blog de développement, Twitter annonce que le « # » présent dans ses URLs depuis la dernière grosse refonte du site en septembre 2010, et qui était alors nécessaires pour différentes fonctionnalités Ajax et JavaScript, va disparaitre progressivement.

Facebook Twitter For Learning: 7 Ideas For Using Hashtags In The Classroom By Anibal Pacheco, TeachThought intern Twitter For Learning: 7 Ideas For Using Hashtags In The Classroom If you are an Educator looking to use Twitter in the classroom you might have noticed most tweets include a #Hashtag. The use of the # sign with a word attached to it makes up one. Hashtags trace their history to IRC (Internet Relay Chat) networks where they are used to label groups and topics.

Man faces 18 months in jail over Twitter parody A man in Chile is facing 18 months in jail after a businessman accused him of identity theft over Twitter parody accounts. Rodrigo Ferrari Prieto is accused of being behind three now inactive accounts that mocked Chilean business mogul Andrónico Luksic and his family, according to Global Voices. Luksic's lawyer said tweets were posted under Luksic's name, along with personal photos and "inappropriate comments" that damaged his client's reputation. Ferrari Prieto claimed he was behind only one of the three accounts, which used an avatar of money falling and a description that read "we have tons of money." He said account was a joke and should not be considered a crime. Twitter has clear guidelines for parody, commentary, and fan accounts, which state the accounts must clearly identify themselves as a parody and refrain from deceptive communication with others. According to La Tercera, he allegedly created the accounts between March and December of 2010.

How Students Benefit From Using Social Media A lot of criticism has been leveled at social media and the effect it has on the way students process and retain information, as well as how distracting it can be. However, social media offers plenty of opportunities for learning and interactivity, and if you take a moment to think about it, it’s not too hard to see how students benefit from using social media.

Students are experiencing the world through more than just books and assignments; they are learning and adapting to the world using a relatively new form of communication. In a world where connections are important, graduates are coming into the workplace with a lot to offer. But what exactly are they learning? Connections Social media networks are designed for the purpose of communal connections. Web engagement Knowledge Social media users share among themselves day in and day out, giving and receiving information at rapid speeds.
