In a time when we rely more and more on virtual interaction, face-to-face gatherings are more important than ever. In talking to colleagues about Eventbrite, I've found several fans of its capabilities such as the once-click opportunity for attendees to share event info with their Twitter and Facebook networks. Don't get me wrong--I'm a big believer in building relationships, and community, online. But face-to-face can't be replaced.

Twitter Island. No, it’s not a place in Second Life where everyone uses twitter. (Didn’t On March 28, artists Lauri Apple and Seth Gershberg hosted a participatory performance piece titled Twitter Island at the nonprofit Chicago Art Department gallery. They invited 18 volunteers, mostly non-artists, to gather together in a room for 90 minutes and communicate only with each other, and only using twitter.

Last week, Bob Farrace , director of publications for the National Association of Secondary School Principals, asked this Twitter question on the ASAE Technology Listserv. There are a bunch of associations with an official presence on Twitter. Having a large number of followers does not necessarily translate into success on Twitter, but for these groups, it's a good indication that they're doing something right. Are any associations out there maintaining an official association Twitterstream? I'm considering setting one up and I'm looking for some successful practices that will

I met An Xiao on twitter . And I was excited to find out that she was to be the first artist featured on the Brooklyn Museum’s 1stfans Twitter Art Feed . For the 1stfans twitter project, An used Morse code to tweet the minutiae that has become ubiquitous on twitter. When her month-long twitter project was over, I asked An, via email, how it went, I don’t remember if I followed An or if she followed me, but I’m sure it had something to do with the Brooklyn Museum .

Terrorist networks are using them to organize themselves, meanwhile we are still blocking Facebook and Twitter access within the Department of National Defence and the various arms of the military in fear of security breaches and intelligence leaks.
The truth of the matter is, no matter how hard you try to block access, people will use social media regardless, since it is now an inherent part of human social interaction. I just came across this post by David Meerman Scott mentioning a new video released by the U.S Air Force regarding their use of new media.

One of my favourite tools for instantaneously finding and interacting with a niche community is WeFollow . call this a tool because it is one of thousands of websites that leverage the Twitter database for a very specific purpose. In this case that purpose is to help organize Twitter users according to 3 categories that people self-classify themselves under.When you first log onto the site, this is exactly what it asks you to do. I As a result, it’s essentially a categorical folksonomy of Twitter.

RT (retweet) this post on Twitter
Ok, so I’m getting excited about a new idea. Who would get excited about all of us together starting an online community where we promote each other’s online fundraising?

Instead, my business requires the constant use of interactive social platforms and user-generated applications. My big three channels are now Twitter , LinkedIn and my Blog . needed an effective mobile way to manage the numerous government and client department back-channel Twitter conversations that I had set-up on my laptop using Tweetdeck. I recently switched smartphones (now representing 50% of the worldwide cell phone market ) from RIM ’s Blackberry Storm to Apple’s iPhone 3GS .
