Bob just decided to set up an office wiki and wants to know if he ought to use Wikipedia's MediaWiki or maybe Microsoft's Sharepoint wikis. Alice has heard a lot about microblogging and can't choose between Twitter and Laconi.ca. How much time is Bob going to spend researching his choices? Does it really matter if Alice chooses the vendor-hosted Twitter versus the open source host-your-own model of Laconica? It might.photo by Micah TaylorWhen to take ...

Over the last few months there has been increasing discussion of how micro-blogging tools such as Twitter could be used in organizations. Twitter is now frequently used in external communication, with organizations as diverse as @SouthwestAir, @Comcastcares, @BigPondTeam, @SEC_Investor_Ed, and @mosmancouncil using Twitter to communicate to stakeholders and for customer service. Given the rapid rise of Twitter and how influential comments can be, this clearly needs to be on the radar for any major organization. ...

Tokoni may look and feel like a run-of-the-mill social network at first glance, but as you dig deeper it becomes clear that there’s something different here. It’s difficult to explain exactly why it’s different than a typical blog or social network because the heart of their service relies on users posting and commenting, which are the same ingredients they all share in common. However, Tokoni has managed to wrapped several new concepts around this common ...

Mario Sundar once again picks up on the subject of CEOs blogging. Will this issue ever be put to sleep? I doubt it. Why? I’d suggest there are just way too many variables involved. It is like asking should you have long hair? (OK, perhaps a dodgy analogy, but it is late on Friday, and hopefully you get my point). Some things to consider: Is the CEO remotely interested in blogging? Is there a viable ...

Version 2.0 of Gnip (pronounced guh-nip) launched this week without much fanfare, but I believe it’s just a matter of time before enterprises that are serious about social media in general and microsharing in particular will be asking how they can tap into Gnip’s Data Streams. Gnip’s Flow Diagram below explains why: Gnip acts as a one-stop-shop for social media data streams, including public data from microsharing services Twitter and Identi.ca. Gnip is a one-stop-shop ...

Interesting recommendation by Chris Brogan yesterday on the right way to limit the number of Twitter posts that link to your own content: Post the occasional tweet about a particularly good blog post to Twitter. Do this at a rate of about 1:12, meaning one post about your stuff to any 12 tweets about other people’s stuff. This will keep people a bit more interested in your stream as something of value, versus a “mememememe” ...

But our very own Alana Taylor did a feature for PBS blog MediaShift, a commentary really, on the lack of New Media savvy amongst the students and faculty at NYU in a class called “Reporting Gen Y.” She did so by mainly remarking on the irony that in a class full of journalism students, she was ...
