Julie & Julia - Feed Your Inspiration. Welcome! » Tagalus. Groups for Twitter; or A Proposal for Twitter Tag Channels. This is the post that I alluded to in my last one about Whispering Tweets.
I’ll make a disclaimer right now that the title of this post is misleading and actually not about Groups for Twitter. In fact, I’m not at all convinced that groups (at least as they are commonly understood on sites like Flickr) are ultimately a good idea or a good fit for Twitter. But, I do think that there is certainly some merit to improving contextualization, content filtering and exploratory serendipity within Twitter. This is a rather messy proposal to that effect. First, to borrow from Stephanie Booth and Brian Oberkirch, we should get our vocabulary straight.
