New Lists Visualization!

I know, it’s been a long time coming. But finally – my new visualization which I’ve created using IBM’s Many Eyes (which is awesome, although very blue). Since Twitter released it’s new “Lists” feature, there’s been talk about how Lists are a good way to measure influence – someone who is on more lists is […]

Presentation Slides for "Conversation 2.0: Twitter"

I’ve created my slides for my presentation (abstract) following a Presentation Zen (Amazon) approach. So there are basically no words on any of my slides. I’m going to lay them out one by one, with narration. Let me know what you think! I’ve gone for a blank template. I wonder if this is too plain […]

Another Spammer

This one is interesting – the network is fairly connected, if it wasn’t for the big ball of purple in the middle (@NonaCobbzea) it would look pretty normal. She’s sending unwanted @ messages with the same link in each one to a weird “blog” that’s a overly descriptive of certain aspects of her life I’d […]

I got another irrelevant @ message. The content of this one was a link to … you knew where I was going with that. I don’t need to say it! Check out the graph for the originator – @BaileyWolfeaem: Again, lots of one way links to “normal” Twitter uses (who have reciprocal conversations). the graph […]

@ Message Spam

I used Twitter’s new “Report as Spam” feature today for the first time, after I got a bizarre @ message from @billy_Napper_ (Following 0, 0 Followers) about the top 10 hosting sites.

What Constitutes Spam on Twitter?

I don’t know if this is particularly harsh, but I consider anyone who regularly promotes the same website without declaring an affiliation to be a spammer. Sometimes a well-disguised spammer, kudos to that, but a spammer nevertheless. Note – this doesn’t include people promoting their blog on Twitter. I tweet posts from my blog that […]

Twitter Graphs…cont

@RebekahHarriman: @RossIGrant: @ponkey_60 – this one is interesting because usually she protects her tweets. She unprotected them for me so I could create the graph. I wonder if people with protected tweets typically have smaller networks? @douglasgresham: @tgrevatt is having a lot of conversations!! With a lot of people who have a lot of conversations. […]

His bio reads: Thanks for checking out my page im a real cool guy making 12,000 a month working from home with GDI I suspect he’s lying about his income and about being a “real cool guy”. I also […]
