Etude : Sur Twitter, les internautes partagent les tweets sans lire le contenu des articles C’est la conclusion faite par Dan Zarella de la société HubSpot, spécialisée dans les analyses de contenus et d’interactions sur les médias sociaux. A partir d’un corpus de 2,7 millions de tweets contenant des liens vers des articles, Dan a procédé à une analyse des clicks, des retweets, etc. Les résultats sont frappants : 16% des messages (soit 432000 tweets) ont généré plus de retweets que de clicks sur les articles, et 15% des tweets retweetés ont enregistré 0 clicks. Paresse, volonté de gagner du temps, se reposer sur l’autre, sont autant de justifications derrière cette démarche. Donc il est toujours important, selon moi, d’assurer une vérification complémentaire avant de partager le contenu. Je vous invite par ailleurs, à lire l’article publié par The Atlantic sur la démarche préconisée pour tweeter d’une manière responsable, et qui est l’un des articles les plus complets et pratiques jamais réalisés !

The use of the # sign with a word attached to it makes up one. Hashtags trace their history to IRC (Internet Relay Chat) networks where they are used to label groups and topics. When Twitter came into the social media scene users quickly adopted hashtags as a way to group Twitter messages based on a particular subject or topic. I would recommend you search hashtag directory services like tagdef.com, twubs.com and hashtags.org to see if somebody is using the one you want. When you visit one of these services you can enter a hashtag, view what it means and register yours using Twitter’s app authentication system.
