Re: A Primer For Hacking Twitter

i certainly hope the MSM has their act together. as Rami said, if they pick something up that is false and broadcast it as confirmed it could have **immediate** negative consequences. i have confidence that they will not mess this up, though. i know there is more going on behind the scenes in a newsroom than meets the eye, but it does make me nervous to see them gathering news from searches on the public timeline. i'd feel more comfortable to know they are running accounts where each and every user they are following is a trusted source- and using those tweets against the public timeline to validate. i'd feel more comfortable to know they are using friendfeed for the threaded discussions, perhaps utilizing private rooms where sensitive information is hidden from the public. in all actuality, these tools may already be in place, let's hope so. i'd like to think i'm intelligent enough to spot something that doesn't seem right in the twittershpere. look at the trend. who is RTing it around? look at their age- the age of the account, the language they use in their previous tweets. do they have an avatar? does it appear that that they have something to gain from getting the word out? (re: as potroast mentioned above, "getting the big scoop" by getting their tweet all over the big media outlets). these are all checks and balances that need to take place before the story spreads. i believe that when such a crisis occurs as in the Iran situation, we are ALL obligated to do a little homework before we blast that RT off. it only takes 60 seconds. the MSM has more of a responsibility, especially when we are their main source. i sympathize with CNN for getting beat up over the last 2 weeks for not getting this stuff out fast enough, but it is a lot to handle and this is new to them. they realize how important it is to get it right. and they will. some of the thoughts in this post are very unnerving. the producers at CNN, and all the other major media outlets for that matter, should be listening very carefully to all this. after all, a well orchestrated display of 'social hacking' could very easily slip through the cracks if, at the end- is up to a team of TV producers.

yes, but would you know they were at a bar- or just on that block? have you tried brightkite? its much better for knowing 'exactly' where your friends are- takes guessing out of the equation...

Re: When Being Me is About Being You

being without a job for sometime makes this concept easier for me to digest. going into interviews with a monkey suit on and trying to please the interviewer with what they want to hear just isn't me. i would like to go into these situations being my true self, but that's probably not a good idea if i'm really looking to land the job. you have to bullshit yourself sometimes (and i did see you do a good amount of bullshitting in the past- you were damn good at it too). to me, there is something fundamentally wrong with that.

i think we should all strive to be in situations where we can be unique, ourselves, and provide value at the same time. then, after some time you develop a reputation (like geoff says)- and then this personal branding thing will seem pointless.

i'm happy for you that you landed in a spot where it's working for you... it definitely makes your professional life more fun, huh?

i also think that, at least in the last year or so- as the web has
become what it is today, we have evolved into these sponges who try to
soak up as much info as possible. and yer right, it spreads us too
thin. the natural curve of things should bring us back down to a level
that works... and even tho I'm not a fly fisherman- it would be
interesting to be in that room. human nature includes a curiosity
component as well :)

CallieO- well said. i think SM needs to migrate away from this profile based
idea, where you are the center of the universe. we need an idea, or niche as
you say, to be the center- that will help community flourish.
