TwitterGASM

[Telarus]

I know there are more of you lurking this thread, spill the infos already.

@skilluminati is @brainsturbator (Justin Boland, aka the rap artist thirtyseven, aka PIZZA S.E.O. blog, and websites on both twitter usernames).

Idea Note: CD full of intermittens bundled with some of thirtyseven's work (if he'd be willing to donate a few tracks), along with a few tracks from the music spags from here = memetic viral-bomb. Then, tweet the website link to the network forming here, and make burning and hiding the CDs in public a GASM.


Anyone want to have a crack at naming this network, just so I can stop using the word network all the network.

I was actually thinking that the network would be more or less joined by the use of a hashtag, rather than having an account for it... Like #THEGASM

[Telarus]

Sorry if the @ symbol threw you [edited it out of previous post], I was just looking for a name. I really like the idea of a Hashtag to co-ordinate it, so we'd want something short.

I was going to suggest #discord but people would get that mixed up with the IRC channel. #GASM could work.

so far
#PDspags - introductions to the network
#GASM - tag for any ideas
#YoGabbaGabba -

#YoGabbaGabba - 

Ahem: http://twitter.com/GabbaFriends

And I have actually tweeted about Yo Gabba Gabba before. The perils of having a 2 year old, I guess.

I think I should autotag all NotBroken's automated postings with #hecomes

Bif Naked (bifnaked) is now following your updates on Twitter.
must think of targeted fnord...

[Telarus]

Ok, been poking around with the hashtags. #om seems to be in wide use referring to something other than our OM.

I'm going with #gasm (#GASM) as it will segue people into the other GASMs pretty well. We can use #eris and #discord for other subjects.

Ok, I'm going to be linking to some interesting/useful twitter "things" (apps, visualizations, etc). If you come across something cool you can do with twitter, please post it here.

If you've been reading this thread and haven't signed up for Twitter or haven't spilled your username and top 5 'to follow'.....


Well, fucking do it already. That is all.

Links:

Hashtag.org "Trends": http://hashtags.org/trends/now
-This will be very useful once we have TwitterGASM up to speed. This will allow us to peak at the 'current' topics of conversation (which we could then piggyback off of).

Twitter Friends Network Browser: http://www.neuroproductions.be/twitter_friends_network_browser/
-Friends Network Viz, should come in handy. A little clunky, tho.

TwitterThoughts: http://yvoschaap.com/twitterthoughts/
-TwitterThoughts is an advanced tool and mashup that visually graphs Twitter trends based on a variety of factors, such as number of tweets and followed total. It takes its information from a sample subset of Twitter accounts. The data can be complicated to work with, but it is a unique way to visualize data on Twitter. It also comes with a world Twitter map and a list of recent top Twitter trends.

Twitter StreamGraphs: http://www.neoformix.com/Projects/TwitterStreamGraphs/view.php
-Twitter StreamGraphs is another data-based visualization of Twitter trends. Instead of loading bar charts or line items, it uses stream graphs to display words and tags associated with a keyword, based on a thousand recent tweets. It's especially adept at visualizing tweets over time and can visualize the top keywords of any individual tweeter.

TweetWheel: http://tweetwheel.com/
-Nice circular Viz with pretty colors.

InFlow: http://orgnet.com/inflow3.html
-Shows emergent patterns and groups followers by "interest clusters". THIS IS A GOOD ONE, costs $ tho.

TweetBeep: http://tweetbeep.com/
-Get email updates on tweets that include specific keywords.

TwitterLocal: http://www.twitterlocal.net/
-Filter tweets by geographic location. May be useful to track targeted OM activities, like a local PosterGASM blitz.

Ok, I'm trying out the TweetWheel site right now, will post graphic in a little while.

Good idea of starting to GASM Twibe, Telarus.  Let's much sure everyone gets in on it.
