Twitter DM is absolutely useless for real communication, I wish I could disable it so that people would email me instead.

FriendFeed kind of ruins the fun by expanding the URL. Just think: without URL shorteners, the RickRoll would never have taken off! Then again — maybe it's the other way around... w/o the RickRoll, maybe TinyURL never would have become popular! ;)

Yeah, aside from the rickroll link, Techcrunch does attract commenters only a few levels above Youtube commenters, and they're pondlife for the most part.

Thinking Twitter should just use twttr.com as its URL shortening domain and be done with it. #playforkeeps

I agree, but suggest a slight modification: twt.tr. Using the Turkey domain would reduce the URL by three. #twitter

That's unfortunate. This needs to get escalated at Amazon before it causes damage to their reputation. Somebody should to dismantle these search results before the MSM gets ahold of it. Ugh.

SSRN-Social Networks that Matter: Twitter Under the Microscope by Bernardo Huberman, Daniel Romero, Fang Wu - http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3...
Herman I May liked this
"Scholars, advertisers and political activists see massive online social networks as a representation of social interactions that can be used to study the propagation of ideas, social bond dynamics and viral marketing, among others. But the linked structures of social networks do not reveal actual interactions among people. Scarcity of attention and the daily rythms of life and work makes people default to interacting with those few that matter and that reciprocate their attention. A study of social interactions within Twitter reveals that the driver of usage is a sparse and hidden network of connections underlying the "declared" set of friends and followers."

"But what they were really interested in was the idea of how Twitter users interacted with each other as “friends.” Consistent with behavior on social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, Twitter users interact with a small number of friends compared with the total number of friends and followers declared."

Taking Apart the $819 billion Stimulus Package - washingtonpost.com - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...
Cédric Hüsler, Lu Tao, Herman I May and 2 other people liked this
"The centerpiece of President Obama's domestic agenda is an $819 billion economic stimulus plan. The Senate will consider the measure this week, with an eye toward the amount of tax cuts and spending. Republicans and Democrats spar over what to consider a tax cut. An analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office tallies the tax-cut portion to be significantly less than the one-third Democrats claim it to be."

On his first day in office, President Obama put former president Bush on notice. His administration just released an executive order that will make it difficult for Bush to shield his White House records--and those of former Vice President Dick Cheney--from public scrutiny by invoking the doctrine of executive privilege
- Chris Baskind

Oh now this could get interesting...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
This is actually a good policy in many ways. However, I wonder if there is a dispute over whether records should be released, if the default action will be to release first then retract if deemed necessary, or withhold until the AG and counsel determine it is proper to release.

I think this is GREAT news. Kevin: Anything security sensitive would be redacted before they're released anyway.

President Obama needs to keep in mind, what he does to President Bush's records, future Presidents can do to his. And Obama has a record of keeping records and documents out of the public eye.

Mark, I posted my response to your post on your blog. But bottomline I cannot imagine the President of the United States being restricted from email in 2009. Particular has he is not planning to use it as a means of conducting business but to stay in touch with friends and family.
- R. Ferguson
As far as the BlackBerry is concerned, it would be great if we could trust that all of his correspondents would honor a request not to email him anything that has even a minor relationship with his new job. However, someone always has to do something wrong, just like my users know they're supposed to call the Help Desk, but they always wait for me to show up in the hallway, call me directly, or email me. What's the solution at that point? I want him to keep his BB, but how can he be protected?
