Show, don’t tell – Twitter i dansk | Sociale medier i skolen. 8. klasse har lavet Twitter-historier. Udgangspunktet er en gryende Twitter-genre, hvor twitterbrugere bruger mediet til at formidle små korte historier, der holder sig inden for de 140 karakterer, som er rammen på Twitter.

Anders Lund Madsens bio-profil på Twitter er som manden selv. Skriv så jeg kan genkende digI arbejdet med Twitterjournalister.dk har jeg haft ”fornøjelsen” af at gennempløje en del tusinde profiler, og det er utroligt så ofte, at det knapt er muligt at finde ud af, hvad folk arbejder med og hvor de arbejder.

Men skriv det – selv om det er tørt, og kedeligt. Når man skal skrabe følgere sammen bliver man både bedømt på, hvad man skriver – og så hvad der står i ens profil. Det er ikke anderledes, end når du til familiefesten bliver spurgt, hvem du så er. Derfor skal du ganske simpelt skrive dit fagområde med hashtag i din bio. 15 Novelty Twitter Accounts That Will Make Your Day. Celebrities Read Mean Tweets #1. Basically, @BarackObama Is a Parody Twitter Account. You know those terrible parody Twitter accounts for Bill Murray or Will Smith that tweet dumb jokes or odd requests as though they're from the celebrities themselves? That, in large part, is what @BarackObama has become. As The Wire reported last April, and as many, many people still seem not to realize, the Twitter account that bears President Obama's name and image is not actually tweeting on behalf of the president.

Instead, it's controlled by Organizing For Action, the 501(c)(4) non-profit that took over the reins of the 2012 Obama campaign's organizing activity early last year. This is perfectly legal — OFA rents the account from the still-extant campaign infrastructure — but it's obviously confusing to users. When I spoke with an official from OFA last year, I was told that the organization didn't think people should be confused. This week, OFA more deliberately played on that misconception. Congratulations on leading the way, @MikeSamFootball. And, on Thursday, this: 16 People Who Tweeted Themselves Into Unemployment.

When Someone Says They Don’t See the Point in Twitter Show Them This. Lots of people dislike twitter, some even hate it. Today, when asked about Twitter, I heard someone in the office say “the thought of it makes me want to die.” While a touch excessive, this sentiment is not that uncommon. As someone who is fascinated by the possibilities for communication that has gradually evolved as people learn to use Twitter I do find this somewhat perplexing. One of the complaints I often hear directed at Twitter is that basically it is boring. They have this notion that it’s populated by people who like to talk about themselves all the time, incessantly sharing the vacuous details of their lives, and they’re just not that interested in people taking about what they had for lunch.

Twitter has been able to transform lives and after you have read this blog I think you will come to see not just the possibilities that Twitter has allowed, but the sometimes astounding acts of the people that use these tools. This I think is a common misunderstanding. Tracking disease. Twitterature.
