: Some organisations are slow.

I wrote in - good grief- is it that long ago - AUGUST 2007 that employers should "pay their people to throw sheeps on facebook". Just for kicks - here's the title:- "Why you should pay your people to waste their time on Facebook"

And here's the link. http://digitalbiographer.com/2007/08/25/digital-biographer-says-pay-your-people-to-waste-time-on-facebook/

Now, I'd like to see that survey in detail.

: "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.

As Twitter is growing rapidly, the service makes it harder for me to filter between conventional PR news, media agencies, marketing news and "real" twitter users. So friendfeed give me better self-filtered network.

With the upcoming "spam" on Twitter, alternatives will have a chance to get into the market of microblogging.

Since Twitter Won’t Sell, Who Should Facebook Buy?

The hot rumor today is that Facebook and Twitter held “several weeks of serious talks” about an acquisition recently, which have since come to an end after the two were unable to reach an agreeable price for the microblogging service. Alas, there are greater tragedies. While Twitter might be the “it” startup of 2008, it s (Read More)

: @jasongoldberg @svartling Oh that's true enough.

Im more thinking about downtimes really, the unpredictable nature. As you said, it grows and grows...

For seomthing that so many people rely on for constant communication would do not harm and would be quite logical to have a common back-up in these down times. This would mean kinda agreeing within your own communities and adding each other sooner rather than later.

So its more a preventative measure, follow people now then you are more likely to be able to switch over and not loose much conversation.

Even it Twitter stalls for a few hours or an afternoon, which it did do last week, even that can cause difficulties. However, if everyone had one common back-up app, moving over would have been pretty painless.

Just say'n. :)
