A direct message on Twitter or the inbox feature on http://delicious.com would be obvious alternatives, but on a windows machine Skype blinks so it’s visible and hard to miss. Preferred, ignored, duplicate, or competing tools all make sense within this social and technical mix we call a digital habitat.

You probably already know that Skype is a great tool – especially for community leaders.

Let’s be clear, the true value of this conference may not even be the official talks and panels any more (you can find most of this stuff on Slideshare), but rather the opportunity to meet all the people you’ve been chatting with on Twitter and through your blog over the preceding 12 months. The Kingdom of Awesome is real – on Twitter, Foursquare and within the blogosphere, and in Austin at SXSW it becomes physically real, like a Virtual World taking over a physical space. We were milling about at @LenKendall ’s @the3six5 meetup at The Ginger Man here at SXSW last night when Greg Christman, aka @reelspit , came over to say hello.

I used to think Twitter was stupid. Twitter is a "micro-blogging" platform that allows you to quickly post short messages[tweets] of I see "What are you doing?" reading the morning paper with a perfect cup of coffee". This is info you may want to know from your intimate others, but not from everyone you are reading on Twitter. I ignore the After one week of actual activity, I find it useful. as the wrong question — it focuses too much on daily minutiae, and not on what others may find interesting about you.

Twitter has quickly become the must-have channel for conference back-chat. Twitter is also a great way to attend a conference without actually being there – just follow a conference hashtag (e.g. #smib09 But watch out Twitter. Sprinkeled with a good dose of integrated Image courtesy of Shutterstock
Reading what other people tweet during a speech provides an extra dimension as you get a sense of what the audience is thinking.

We’ve posted before about why Twitter lists are great and some of the uses that can be made with them. One clear and valuable use for them has become clear – as a free social media monitoring tool. Here’s a guide to how you can use Twitter Lists in this way.

Over the last few weeks since they were launched to all users, we have been experimenting with them at FreshNetworks and with our clients.

(nearly 100) Here’s a list of journalists from Australian (mostly mainstream, some New Zealanders) media who have embraced, indeed are head over heels, in love with Twitter. Who watches the watchers themselves? By the way, the first social networking book I ever read was The Republic by Plato, mashing’up and misquoting Socrates. Trevor Cook put a dozen Australian Journalists on Twitter together. Let’s sit here and watch them. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes . So, children, follow Homo Journalis in his natural habitat.

Ross Mayfield put forth a pretty interesting question on Twitter (see below). Twitter
Twitter is referred to as a micro-blogging tool. The service allows people to post and read brief (140 character) messages (called Tweets) to the Twitter service. It's a great question - my thoughts below:

The folks over at BrandonHall, the learning folks who blog lots of interesting links, pointed out a value of Twitter that not all of us may have seen yet. Twitter as a search engine. This was interesting to me because I’m co-leading a short online workshop introducing social media in a global international development network. The question always comes up “why would we be interested in something like Twitter. One application I try to show is Twitter as social listening.

In the spirit of passing time at Christmas, and following on from a heated discussion about the meaning and robustness of community in online environments, I invited 100 of my 1,276 current Twitter followers to fill in a quick survey cunningly designed to provide a fairly wonky measure of community allegiance. I love Twitter and I've spent an unhealthy amount of time hanging out there in the last year. Of course I welcome critical feedback about the methodology employed, but I had two hours sleep last night and yes, I quickly realised the massive cultural bias implicit in most if not all of the questions.

In List Building Using Twitter , I discussed the importance of list building and the ease of building a list using Twitter .
In this article I focus on building your Twitter community — people who relate to your niche and who share some of your interests — people with whom you can network and who also extend your list in a more targeted way than previously outlined.
Is Twitter Past Its Prime?
Twitter will not last forever. However, I’m hoping that Twitter will have a strong future.

In the wake of a truly ghastly series of articles on Twitter , I am beginning to think that journalists will never write well on any thing that involves online communities or social media.
Here’s what journalist Andy Pemberton of the Times Online learned via his informants about the stereotypical twitter user:
“The clinical psychologist Oliver James has his reservations. “Twittering Perhaps the problem is this simple: They just don’t have the time to spend on participating in these communities which a thorough understanding of these phenomena require.
