Twitter up!

the world tweets about about Twitter

and talks about Facebook

are we quitting Facebook?

a wide range of ‘social media’ tweets,but the Trend graph is all about quitting fb

‘social media’ advocacy, jobs, marketing with web 3.0

9.30pm AEST, south eastern Australia is trending umbrellas, Masterchef and Stosur

inner city Sydney is watching tennis and talking music

job advertisements and cameras purchases

movies and green advocacy

and Sydney’s web 3.0 conference

in regional NSW

Albury is tweeting TV, gaming, weather and popular religion

10pm AEST, the south east is still trending Masterchef, but also

Sydney’s web 3.0 conference

the night of Roland Garros 2010 and the talk is almost all Samantha Stosur

trending worldwide

so many tweets from the same person …do people watch, listen and engage?or just comment?

victory for Schiavone brings global discussion

not quite so much in Australia!

We are all broadcasting

too much talking?

‘Everybody’s talking at me’, Harry Nilsson, 1969

“I don’t hear a word they’re saying,only the echoes of my mind”

what interests me?

a basic search for workplace ‘mentions’ finds3 relevant tweets2 events and 1 recommendation

Twitter works well for events

frequent tweets and a lot of shared images of Vivid Festival in Sydney

Geochirp maps very frequent Sydney Film Festival discussion

sobe particularreduce noiseincrease personal learningbecome ‘twitterate’!

a basic search for ‘information literacy’finds a lot of activity

searching TweepML lists finds a lot of librarians

not many Australian lists

so I created one!will others join?

browsing my network

exploring contacts

adding ‘friends of friends’

is this true?

many people and many parts of the world do not have a social media voice, but

the knowledge and interests I do hear always challenge me to look further …

back to second life …

off to more unconferences …

(excitement! my first replies)

into the challenging world of km …

(and collecting useful hashtags)

following resource sharing …

collecting expert opinion …

finding collaboration and kindness

and learning on the run!
