No sé si os acordareis de una página donde, en forma de tablero de noticias, enlazaban con las más importantes webs sobre Mac en castellano, su nombre Lastmac.

Pues bien, ahora, su creador, ha abierto un Twitter con las noticias más importantes de la comunidad Mac en español en una sola página.

Twitter LastMac ES

Además podemos aprovechar la funcionalidad de Twitter para recibir estas noticias en nuestros moviles mediante “Twitter Mobile Notifications”, aunque esto último no sé si funciona en España. Si lo prueba alguien, que diga si funciona o no.

Twitter, MiniBlog

Silicon Valley is abuzz over a new mini-blogging service for mobile phones that some predict will be a mass-market hit with the reach of a YouTube or MySpace.

Over the past two weeks, Twitter has attracted the sort of hyperbole the Valley reserves for its next internet darling – though such self-reinforcing adulation also led to dotcom mania.

The internet has “become so consumerised that social phenomena can take off like lightning”, he said. Warning against the temptation to reject Twitter as a flash in the pan, Mr Schwartz added: “YouTube was funny until it was worth $1.65bn to someone,” a reference to Google’s purchase of the company last year.

“This is the first application that people have got excited about since Flickr came out,” said Ross Mayfield, a Valley entrepreneur, comparing it to a popular photo-sharing site bought by Yahoo in 2005. “I don’t think it will be the next YouTube – but I do think it will gain wide adoption,” he said.

Le alternative al blog

clipper's remarks: Twitter e Tumblr

Traditional blog entries usually run to at least a paragraph or two. Composing them usually take ten minutes of your time at least as a good entry will also contain a link or two for the readers (and the blog author at a later date) to follow. That leaves a quandrary about what to do with much smaller fragments of information, maybe just a useful link with some comments (not useful for your del.icio.us collection), an image (not worth putting on Flickr) or video (can’t be bothered with YouTube) or just a smidgin of text. Well www.tumblr.com is the place for you. Such a micro blog or bloglet quickly allows a copy and paste with some explanatory text to be ‘blogged’ in one place for sharing with others.

Another bloglet that is getting traction is www.twitter.com that is only text based. It is a matter of a moment to type in a few words of text on the site and create a journal of your current activity

Alcune idee su come usare Twitter

clipper's remarks: Some ideas

staying in touch with geek friends and colleagues

Using private messages - then it’s really about staying in touch with true friends and family (that is, if your friends and family sms and IM frequently)

keeping up-to-date with emerging tools (remember - Flickr started out as a silly web photography game, not the amazing social tool it’s turned into)

News updates - CNN and BBC both have twitter feeds (ooh - a library use!)

Following the thought processes of emerging tech trend thinkers.

when interviewing someone for a job, check to see if they twitter - then check their twitter feed just like you’d google them and check their blog (if they had one)

Check out a potential colleague’s twitter feed to see if you’d personally like them or not

twitter as a personal note bucket - send yourself random thoughts that you don’t want to lose. They’re stored in your account’s history!

clipper's remarks: L'uso di Twitter in ambito educativo

Clip Source: www.edupodcast.it

C’è chi pensa che Twitter sia una piccola rivoluzione silenziosa:

Robert Scoble, coautore di Naked Conversation, per esempio, scrive che “Big revolutions always start with the stupidest small things”

La scorsa settimana segnalavo appunto di un primo tentativo di utilizzare il meccanismo all’interno di un contesto didattico. Come quella proposta da Doug Belshaw, per ricordare ai propri studenti compiti da fare o altre informazioni, soprattutto considerato il fatto che, come detto, Twitter dà la possibilità di ricevere gli aggiornamenti (gratuitamente) sul proprio numero di cellulare in forma di sms.

Sulla opportunità di usare Twitter in ambito didattico, anche Ewan McIntosh, esperto edublogger di edu.blogs, che evoca la possibilità di usarlo per migliorare la comunicazione della scuola con i genitori. Per esempio creando differenti canali twitter di aggiornamenti su news, conferenze, scadenze, gare sportive, risultati didattici, ecc.
