Email is/did to letter-writing as Twitter is/will do to email. It took a couple of months to find my Twitter voice, and rythym, but I'm still amused and surprised by how quickly I embraced its informality. It's nothing to send off a tweet to someone, when an email to accomplish the same task would take a half hour of painstaking wordcraft.<BR/><BR/>Same for how quickly I embraced its forced brevity. Who knew that I only needed 140 characters to express a single coherent thought? My husband would swear I needed at least 2,000 words.<BR/><BR/>Lucy, thank you for prompting and drawing attention to the "social action prize" hashtag. I'm looking forward to tweeting the heck out of it as more and more of these prizes are generated.<BR/><BR/>Christine Egger<BR/>Social ActionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-81774955712938724882009-01-22T16:16:00.000-08:002009-01-22T16:16:00.000-08:00One edit - the hashtag for Social Action prizes is...One edit - the hashtag for Social Action prizes is now #prizes4sa.<BR/><BR/>Beth - I agree with then news gap/news lag - I've found, in the 3 months that I've been using Twitter - that my email now seems archaic. I guess advanced Twitter users now use DMs instead of email. Given how old this dog is, I'm somewhat amazed at how my own behaviors can change so quickly when a tool really fits the job. <BR/>LucyLucy Bernholzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253941214286179394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-90934196831991979012009-01-20T19:58:00.000-08:002009-01-20T19:58:00.000-08:00I've been reflecting on the way I get my news - an...I've been reflecting on the way I get my news - and it has changed. I used to have a systematic process of reading through threads, and then with twitter usage, been getting my news that way as well.<BR/><BR/>The speed is fast. <BR/><BR/>I see a gap between those - much like the "brain gap" described by Gary Small in his new book, iBrain. The gap between those who getting their news/information via social media or filtering by friends - and those who get it from slower sources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
