Twitterology

Twitter is that enigma which you try to understand but you start loving it without knowing it better. Like that love which is blind and without judging the pros and cons you just dive in it. So what it takes to know the network you love. Some Twitter funda I tweeted some days back are here for you to check. You may like them or hate them but believe me Twitter is like that. Try knowing it that way.

Twitter funda number 1 - if u can keep it short and sweet, well and good or else get lost.

Twitter funda number 2-Never try to make friends, trying won't help, tweets would.

Twitter funda number 3- your reply % should be 30% of your total tweets,if u confused this with chat go and do some brain exercise,it'll help.

Twitter funda number 4-no one is interested what you did last summer or last day,share if it's unique or else keep mum.

Twitter funda number 5-U have to reinvent to make yourself fresh here,stale tweets n attitude won't take u anywhere .Keep surprising people.

Twitter funda number 6- Dahlings if u r a cool dude or hot gal,throw your tantrums somewhere else,not here.You need gray cells here nothing else.

Twitter funda number 8-Try to laugh at yourself,don't make fun of others. You can be cornered out here.

Twitter funda number 9- 140 char limit means u need to show your wit in that space. Twitlonger n SMS lingo strict no no.

Twitter funda number 10- try understanding Twitter you will understand Social Media.

Would like you all to add more to this, what do you think works with Twitter?

Romance 2012: Semantic Web and Social Media

I somehow have this urge to connect Social Media with the Semantic web. For me their romance is bound to happen. Now who would wear the pants is the big question. How would a web which is intelligent, knows a lot would give in to a medium which connects so many things or will that be the other way round?

Will the Semantic Web turn into a Social Media consultant and kind of engulf Social Media. Or both will complete each other.

Think of a possibility where I post a question in a Social Media platform, "Which is the best restaurant for Chinese food in the town?" I get lot of responses, suggestions and even location maps to reach a place. Now I am flooded with suggestions.

How Semantic Web is going to help me differently than this. If it is going to tell me what I get from Social Media platform now, then why I would use it? Is it going to tell me, " Ok you want the names of the Chinese restaurants, why not also try out some Thai restaurants in the same locations?"

I mean my point is, I want to know how Semantic Web is going to be different from what my Social Network is?

Further why I would want to know from humans about a place rather than artificial intelligence, isn't it? Experts are of the view that what we say in the social networks will have less value than what semantic networks will say about us.

The debate will continue and the romance as well.Let's hope it is in 2012.
