Twitter, pour construire son réseau (4/5) Twitter est un outil relationnel au fonctionnement unique qui crée une nouvelle proximité entre ses usagers. Celle-ci se situe a mi-chemin entre le chat et l’e-mail. Mais il y a quelques subtilités rituelles… Sur Twitter tout le monde lit mais la plupart du temps, personne ne se répond. Dans un premier temps, c’est assez intimidant de s’exprimer face à cette foule silencieuse et invisible. Mais pourtant l’un des principaux intérêts de Twitter est sa capacité à tisser des liens réels entre les personnes. sondages, interactions, animations 1- Entrez dans la conversation Plus vous vous intéresserez aux autres, plus ils s’intéresseront à vous. - Posez des questions, interpellez, publiez des sondages - Répondez aux gens, donnez votre avis (quand il est argumenté) - Relayez les articles des autres et pas que les vôtres (et de façon significative, pas anecdotique) - Rendez service !

Bscopes: Mining, Mapping and Visualizing the Blogosphere The Great 140 Character Debate « Evolving Educators We are accustomed to abbreviations and symbols that signify a message. For as long as we have communicated we have used abbreviations and symbols to provide messages beyond the words themselves. The term HELP means more than the four characters it consumes. SOS even more and has one less character, and OK one less and still has meaning beyond its two characters. So why is there so much debate over the validity and value associated with using certain forms of social media to communicate, collaborate, and connect among educators through a limited number of characters? Social media applications including and similar to Twitter have a set number of characters to get your message across to others using the service. Brevity is a skill not often demonstrated in the professional world. Like this: Like Loading...
Why every student should be on Twitter A lot of students turn their nose up at Twitter still, and it baffles me. As a user I am naturally more inclined to be positive about the service. Not necessarily. Twitter is an odd 'social network'; if indeed it can be called as such. And the Generation Y do nothing better than communicating. But so many of my student colleagues avoid Twitter because it's either "another thing to do", or "I don't see what I can get out of it". What many forget is that Twitter does not revolve around celebrities and those with a million followers or more. If you tweet me, I will reply. For students looking for employment, there are a vast number of Twitter accounts to follow with not only advice, but job offers, and connections to those who are in the industry to sell yourselves to. The search feature alone allows you to plug in content like "graduate job" already returns a stream of users looking for jobs themselves, accounts offering advice, links to jobs specifically dedicated to graduate students.

Here’s a summary of the logic chain (or as my friends at Bridgespan would say, my theory of change): Twitter: How to archive event hashtags and create an interactive visualization of the conversation JISC CETIS MASHe The use of Twitter to collecting tweets around an event hashtag allowing participants to share and contribute continues to grow and has even become part of mass media events, various TV shows now having and publicising their own tag. This resource is often lost in time, only tiny snippets being captured in blog posts or summaries using tools like Storify, which often loose the richness of individual conversations between participants. It doesn’t have to be this way. Using a combination of Google Spreadsheets as a data source and a simple web interface to add interactivity it’s possible to let users explorer your entire event hashtag and replay any of conversations. View example conversation replay Try out a LIVE version Update: If you are still struggling to understand the concept Radical Punch have done a overview of this tool Here's how to archive event hashtags and create an interactive visualization of the conversation (written instructions below): Capturing the tweets

The Complete Guide To Twitter Hashtags In Education What is a hashtag? A word or phrase preceded by a “#.” How do hashtags work? Twitter can be a busy place with lots of tweets–and thus lots of “noise.” A #hashtag is a way to aggregate tweets that are appended with a hashtag. Picture it like a magnet that attracts all messages categorized by that topical word or phrase. Who can use hashtags? Anyone. What else do I need to know? Don’t hashtag spam–if your tweet doesn’t add to that hashtag’s topic, discussion, or user base, don’t add the hashtag.Use more than one hashtag if it applies to more than one topic, but choose wisely. Meeting Times Many of the hashtags have “meeting times” where educators agree to “meet and tweet”–that is, send out messages on a topic at a certain time on a certain day. If you do participate at the agreed upon time, you’ll see the tweets stream in live and participate in said conversation (via twitter) in what is nearly real-time.
