What Publishers Need to Learn from Software Developers

There was a great exchange on the O’Reilly editors’ backchannel the other day, so illuminating that I thought I should share it with the rest of you. We’ve been discussing the fast-track development we’re using to produce The Twitter Book. (We’re basically authoring the book as a presentation, after I realized how much more quickly I am able to put… Continue reading

Four short links: 23 Mar 2009

Digital rights, digital wrongs, newspaper science, and hardback socializing. Just another four short links: Twitter Mistrial — this isn’t a calamity for justice, we’re just able to do something we couldn’t do before (were there many jurors running pamphlets off on their printing presses in the old days?) so we need to figure out whether we want it or not….

Over the last month, the number of celebrities (from pop culture, sports, and politics) who have appeared on the Twitterholic Top 100 jumped from 7% to 46% of users on a given calendar week.

The Social Nervous System Has More Than One Sense

Radar’s Joshua Michele-Ross published a fabulous piece on Forbes entitled The Rise of the Social Nervous System. His premise: “…communication is the foundation of society, business and government. When you scale up communications, you change the world….As ever more people get connected, we see an acceleration in the way the Internet is used to coordinate action and render services from human input. We are witnessing the rise of a social nervous system.” Josh focuses on now familiar examples: the Mumbai terrorist attacks as reported real-time on twitter, the Obama campaign (and in particular, the Houdini project), and Google Flu Trends. But Josh weaves them into a powerful conclusion. Continue reading

This is from the press release. I wonder how it will work out:
“Ratha, female leader of the Named cat clan, paused on the meadow trail, one forefoot raised.”
When Clare Bell sends that sentence through Cyberspace on March 14, she’ll be launching an experiment: a story told 140 characters at a time using the rapidly [...] Continue reading

Twitter Drives Traffic, Sales: A Case Study

Back in December, Dell reported that offers from its Dell Outlet Twitter account had led to more than $1 million in revenue. A small percentage for a company that books $16B in revenue annually–but a nice number nonetheless, particularly in a dreary economy. Question is: are they the only ones? I haven’t yet found anyone else claiming to have micromessaged… Continue reading
