10 cool Twitter visualisation tools

10 cool Twitter visualisation tools
You might think of Twitter as a way to chat with your friends, keep up with news or to hassle minor celebrities. We think of it as a ceaseless stream of data that only really becomes useful when you filter and sort it. Here are 10 tools for doing just that, with a twist. 1. Enter any Twitter account name in TweepsKey and you'll get a visual representation of their follower's activity. 2. One among a number of apps from developer Jeff Clark at Neoformix, StreamGraphs is a keyword visualiser. 3. ISParade is a Japanese slice of digital lunacy which went viral about a month back. 4. Putting the twee back into tweet, Tori's Eye converts Twitter output into origami birds flying over a crafty landscape. 5. Getting a bit serious again, Revisit displays a timeline of tweets based on Twitter's search syntax. 6. There are several visualisers that display tweet frequency on maps, but few as compelling as TweetFlare. 7. 8. Visible Tweets. 9. 10. Liked this?

Why is Content Good for SEO [Inforgraphic] Why is Content Good for SEO Inforgraphic Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

L'avantage de tenir un blog plutôt que s'adonner sur Twitter Certes, Twitter est la solution de facilité, mais bloguer apporte tellement d’avantages supplémentaires qu’il ne faut pas l’éluder totalement. Parfois, la récompense de se donner un peu de mal dépasse toutes les espérances que la facilité va apporter au mieux de ses possibilités. Sans vouloir dire que Twitter est inutile, je vois beaucoup trop d’intérêt à bloguer pour comprendre ceux qui investissent dans le micro-blogging. En premier lieu, Twitter appartient à ses fondateurs. Ensuite, la pérennité d’un billet de blog est tout de même incomparable avec celle d’un tweet dont la visibilité est carrément éphémère. Entreprises Lorsque je vois des entreprises investir sur Twitter (ou Facebook) sans même tenir un blog, je peux décemment affliger les responsables de l’animation sociale d’être des incapables. Être la source Un autre élément non négligeable concerne la tendance (agaçante) sur Twitter à toujours vouloir trouver « le dernier truc ». Faux amis Quoi penser des « amis » sur Twitter ?

How sharing disrupts media I’m at DLD in Munich, where David Karp of Tumblr and Samir Arora of Glam Media helped me understand the way that media and publishing are evolving these days, and the way in which creating, editing, and publishing are increasingly separate things which interact with each other in fertile and unpredictable ways. There are lots of ways of publishing content onto the web, and if you look at the relative popularity of, say, WordPress vs Tumblr vs Twitter, then it’s easy to come to the conclusion that the easier you make it to publish, the more popular you’re going to be. But at Tumblr, at least, there’s something else very interesting going on: according to Karp, there are 9 curators for every creator on his site. Reblogging, on Tumblr, is so easy that the vast majority of Tumblr sites actually create little or no original content: they just republish content from other people. Indeed, you don’t even need original content at all to become a reblogging monster.

Le phénomène Twitter | “Je tweet, je follow, je retweet puis je fais un p’tit tour dans la Tweetdeck”… Voilà maintenant trois mois que j’ai découvert Twitter et appris à utiliser autant ses applications que son jargon. De prime abord, cette plate-forme à l’interface très “nude” semble très facile d’utilisation. Elle consiste en une simple boîte de saisie précédée de la question “what are you doing?” et un bouton pour publier un contenu de 140 caractères maximum. Et pourtant, derrière cette simplicité apparente se cache une certaine complexité. Selon ce dernier et à la vue des commentaires d’internautes, après quelques semaines d’essai bien des personnes ont délaissé Twitter au profit de Facebook, plus social, et des Flux RSS, plus informatifs. Ce qu’ils auraient dû savoir, c’est qu’“Alors que l’une des clés de la réussite dans la conception d’un système social consiste habituellement à offrir une gratification immédiate à l’utilisateur, Twitter fait exactement le contraire“, continue Fabrice Epelboin.

Social Media and Beer Event Craziness As alluded to previously in these pages (is that what they are?), I have been perplexed for quite some time about the speed at which the craft beer culture is moving. Last summer, there was some talk here and there about "event fatigue," a reference to the fact that it was difficult to keep up with the blitz of events. I still think the pace of beer events peaks in the summer. Related to this is the pace of new beer releases. Why has this happened? The Shift to Digital Marketing The answer has something to do with a monumental shift in the way marketing and advertising is done today. When advertising/marketing budgets began to recover in 2010, the ground had shifted. TV has done well because Americans love it. It's important to note that some of the lines between television, digital and even print are becoming blurred. Connecting the Dots Back to the original question: How does the shift toward digital media marketing relate to the craziness in the craft beer scene?

MikaelDorian Report: Content and the New Marketing Equation inShare318 Rebecca Lieb, my colleague at Altimeter Group released a new report, “Content: The New Marketing Equation Why Organizations Must Rebalance.” The report helps organizations find balance in the creation of effective content strategies while delivering value to stakeholders and consumers and also the bottom line. It’s safe to assume that the attention of the audience as we knew it is waning. Such is true for organizations. Marketers can serve customers and prospects with content through every phase of awareness, branding, intent, conversion, and customer service. When you study the intentions and architecture of many branded social media campaigns and strategies overall, it’s difficult to not wonder whether social media isn’t an oxymoron in its current incarnation. Good friend Tom Foremski recently observed that, “Corporations are being pressured by legions of ‘experts’ to exploit social media as a lucrative sales and marketing channel. As Rebecca notes… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. 3.

Twitter, pour construire son réseau (4/5) Twitter est un outil relationnel au fonctionnement unique qui crée une nouvelle proximité entre ses usagers. Celle-ci se situe a mi-chemin entre le chat et l’e-mail. Mais il y a quelques subtilités rituelles… Sur Twitter tout le monde lit mais la plupart du temps, personne ne se répond. sondages, interactions, animations 1- Entrez dans la conversation Plus vous vous intéresserez aux autres, plus ils s’intéresseront à vous. - Posez des questions, interpellez, publiez des sondages - Répondez aux gens, donnez votre avis (quand il est argumenté) - Relayez les articles des autres et pas que les vôtres (et de façon significative, pas anecdotique) - Rendez service ! Il règne sur Twitter un esprit individualiste, à la différence de l’entraide qui est courante dans les forums. 2- Les bonnes pratiques de l’interaction - Un tweet = un message essentiel. - Ne confondez pas messages publics (@) et messages privés (DM). - Les nouveaux rituels de type #FF ? 3- Se connecter aux “influents” Twittergrader
