Twitter Self-picks for June 2009
June 17, 2009 · 1 Comment
After the Twittering, Science and Self, the deluge. Let me navel-gaze and collate only my useful tweets (didn’t I mention navel gazing) from the past month. Primarily for me and certainly as a minor exhibition to my non-twitter readers, of what I think is possible with Twitter like tools.
Be warned it is lengthy (should collate henceforth bimonthly) and an assortment of micro thoughts, mostly original with some opinions and links, links and more links to a slice of what I read on the web. I have loosely segregated them under three topics. If you decide to use twitter now, don’t forget to follow me (I already feel like a Budh-ha-ha).

Twittering, Science and Self
June 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment
This week, Twitter made CNN look a reluctant town-crier in the aftermath of the #iranelection (that is called a twitter hashtag; click to see tweets related to that topic). Elsewhere, a while ago, our quirkologist Richard Wiseman (remember the Q-writing?) conducted a live twitter science experiment investigating psychic power that had twitterers participate in scores. Read more at his interesting blog about the experiment and results. Not long ago a slice of FriendFeeders with interest in Science started writing a paper online, using Web 2.0 applications, to submit for the Call for JCOM papers on participative media (link goes to a FF discussion on how to write that paper). See also Walking the walk – The practical experience of Web2 in research for another related discussion and development of such interesting attempts. And Monica Rankin is able to use Twitter through TweetDeck for discussing History lessons in her UT Dallas classroom on a daily basis [see also YouTube Video].

The danger from computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as men, but we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway.
– Bernard Avishai (not sure this is he)
