For \u00a0a couple of weeks I’ve been twitting <\/a>(and tweeting<\/a>) more than usual, because<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m helping in both Transket<\/a>‘s and Natouring<\/a>‘s communication campaigns<\/li>\n
  2. I’m trying to understand better when (and how) to use Facebook<\/a>, \u00a0FriendFeed<\/a>, Delicious<\/a>, Yammer <\/a>or Twitter<\/a> (I also blog and wiki, but these I know when and how).<\/li>\n
  3. I’m introducing my students into Twitter, after having introduced them into CiteULike<\/a>, Delicious; before we go into FriendFeed and GoogleReader. (I’m sorry I’ve given up Twine<\/a> and Gnoss<\/a> for the moment; interesting but not fluent).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So I’ve also been testing several Twitter related services, in particular<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. FileSocial<\/a>, a very effective and safe way for sharing files (I’ve shared a MP3) of up to 50MB.<\/li>\n
    2. Seesmic<\/a>, the best web tool I found to monitor users, lists of users and hashtags.<\/li>\n
    3. TwitR<\/a>, a directory of users classified according to their favourite hashtags. Very convenient if you are looking to expand your contacts and lists with users with whom you share interests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      (Barb Dybwad<\/a>,\u00a0@Mashable<\/a>, suggests 12 more interesting things to do with Twitter).<\/p>\n

      \"Linked<\/a>

      Linked data value spiral (Bnode.org)<\/p><\/div>\n

      Ok, then, I’ve been converted, I now understand the power of twitting\/tweeting, following, listing and being followed and listed. The most appealing aspect of it has been to realize that every element in Twitter is a potential linked data:<\/p>\n
