The promise of Twitter's advanced search capability is tremendous - letting you dice your queries by the sender and recipient, and even limiting the date range for said tweets, the location, hashtags or even emoticons. And at one time, it was a valuable resource. Now, depending on which account you're viewing, the data set (Read More)

Thanks to Twitter further eroding the wall between your big mouth and a moment required to download some good sense, the Internet is now empowered to get you fired faster than ever. (Read More)
: I guess if a person is going to get fired they might as well get that ball rolling. Why wait to get fired tomorrow when you can get canned today? Isn't one of the habits of highly successful people: be proactive? If you have a big mouth and want to tweet to give that gigantic mouth an outlet, do it now.

Rob Diana just wrote “Sorry Twitter, Facebook is The Data Gold Mine.”First, let’s go back to Ronn Owens. He’s a talk show host on KGO Radio. Actually, he’s the #1 rated talk show on the #1 station in San Francisco (if you exclude nationally-syndicated radio guys like Limbaugh). I was listening the day he discovered Twitter. (Read More)
: Yes but Google will buy Twitter (for twitter search) and MS will buy Facebook after completing their long delayed Yahoo transaction. Thus both FB and Twitter shareholders win and receive Gold.
: Not funny. Not clever. Says he loves his sentences and hates to edit them yet they are filed with cuss words and irrelevant fat. By the way, Twitter is ripe for good parody, this was not good parody.
: It's pretty obvious that he isn't a devoted tweeter. Most of his objections/complaints are so yesterday's news. Got more to say than 140 characters can hold? No worries... let it flow onto the next tweet. How hard is that? I agree with Jwmitch. Not funny not impressed. I hope he kept his day job.
: "If you've never seen or used Twitter, simply go to http://search.twitter.com (or http://www.monitter.com) and type in your favorite search term. Maybe a name or two. You'll be amazed at the results.
Simply put, I now believe you can't ignore Twitter as part of your overall corporate social media strategy. Just like you can't ignore Google.
I had been postponing engaging with Twitter, and I was wrong."
: We've been using a corporate account at The Carphone Warehouse for some months now and had a lot of success with it. Our primary account www.twitter.com/carphoneware is used for communicating company news or contacting customers in need. Guy1067 is a personal account managed by one of my team who picks up customer service references to CPW and manages them through to a satisfactory conclusion if that's what the Twitterer wants. We don't 'sell' anything other than a means of communicating with a faceless company.
No-one asked me to set this up and if I had asked I expect I'd have been turned down as this is unknown territory. However, since we set this up in the Knowledge Management team our Corporate PR and Brand team are now on board and helping us share news about the company. Our partner companies TalkTalk (TalkTalkTips) and Geek Squad (GeeksquadUK) also have Twitter accounts. Use Twitter to hear what customers are saying about you. They'll be saying it anyway so it's important that you're aware.

By Ken Stewart of ChangeForge (Twitter/FriendFeed) FriendFeed, a content and conversation aggregation service, remains under fire by many who feel it is too much of one thing and not enough of another. They often draw parallels to the micro-blogging service Twitter, and how "easy to use" that service is as compared with Fr (Read More)
: Its good to see people talking and sharing how they benefit from applications/social media. There's far too much talk about what they are than how they are used. I admit that Twitter is very intuitive and addictive @Calli lol
