The Archivist By Mix Online. How Twitter's New Media Blog Aims To Teach By Example. Twitter has a two-pronged approach to give media companies the ability to create dynamic interfaces that filter and curate tweets in new ways. One is to showcase great examples of Twitter implementations on its Twitter Media blog, and the other is to give media companies the resources to do these types of projects on their own.

You needn't look any further than Revisit, a simple free tool that visualizes the temporal dynamic of a Twitter stream. Revisit collects tweets related to a topic of your choosing, and displays them along a timeline.

Tweets that receive more retweets or replies are displayed near the center of the stream, and have larger icons. It's not a static image, though: When a new related tweet arrives, it is highlighted; you can see its content and the relation to other tweets on the timeline. The result is a nifty, animated visualization that can provide great background on a conference or a presentation. [via Infosthetics] Six Twitter App Models That Stand a Chance.

But, according to a new study by Meeyoung Cha of the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Germany, having many followers does not make a Tweeter influential. Cha's Twitter study, called "The Million Follower Fallacy," supports earlier research suggesting that the number of Twitter followers is meaningless. "Popular users who have a high indegree [number of followers] are not necessarily influential in terms of spawning retweets or mentions," Cha writes, quoted in the Harvard Business Review. From the study's abstract: [U]sing a large amount of data collected from Twitter, we present an in-depth comparison of three measures of influence: indegree, retweets, and mentions.
