This accomplishment begs for a new type of institution to house it in but you are so deliciously un-institutional that I will simply say “Hurray!”
Congrats on 15,000 tweets! I’m flattered that I was one of the contenders for the dedication. Maybe you can dedicate your 30,000th tweet to me :D Well done, Richard!
Wow, I just found this. Thanks for thinking of me and sorry I’m getting here so late.
I was going to dedicate my 15,000th tweet to Maggieconv, AmandaGravel, Starrgazr, Shanzan and a few other twitter friends but Shanzan won the price. She said goodnight and as a result my 15,000th tweet was dedicated to her. If you’ve got any questions about how to use twitter just let me know and I should be able to help. I’ve been spending enough time on the site to give recommendations on how to use it as well as to it’s purpose.
I went to the Social Media Coffee event this morning and met quite a few of the usual people including Deek, Sizemore, Londonfilmgeek and others. I got to know a few more twitter users a little better and that’s where I stayed for part of the morning. I’ve been networking a lot over the past few days and I think i need some time to think about all the new options.

It’s a bizarre sensation - you get so used to it and then the morning Twitter is down you find yourself both supremely productive and wondering quite what to do. I’m trying to work out whether my reluctance to migrate to either Jaiku or Pownce is simply because Twitter is where my friends are, or because the interface is unfamiliar and slightly uncomfortable - like standing in a room you don’t really know.
Yet again Twitter is down for far longer than anticipated due to yet another server upgrade and I wonder about something. I can I recommend anyone use a service like twitter when it’s got such a poort uptime record. It’s not that complicated when you think of it as instant messaging so why all the downtime. I can’t help but feel there’s poor managment. I miss saying Good Morning to my World Wide audience.
Dacort on twitter has given me access to a site (I am not yet free to disclose the URL yet) where we can see our twitter activity in graphic form. It gives us a nice overview of how strong our twitter habit is. (click image to see full graph) When I started using twitter in May you can see I was very quiet and it progressed quietly over until August. In August I started to tweet.

We all use twitter differently, but to me it’s a two-way deal. There are people I follow who don’t follow me back - but they’re senior and respected members of he community from whom I’ve learned a great deal. Otherwise, the conversation, the interaction IS the community and unless it’s two-way, then I do find it pointless… …feels like standing outside a room with your ear pressed to the door - uncomfortable and pointless!
Due to the quantity of people using twitter it’s purpose has changed. From being a place where you tell people what you’re up to it’s become a place where you discuss what you’re up to and what you’re thinking about. As a result of this following people without them following you back is pointless. I went through my twitter list this morning and it was at over 530 people being followed.

Hi Richard, good to meet you too. I think the site I meant was New Music Strategies, lots of food for thought about music, copyright and the online environment: http://newmusicstrategies.com/ You might also be interested in this page I put together about intellectual property: http://www.wishfulthinking.co.uk/blog/books-and-links-intellectual-property/
Two nights ago whilst having a conversation about technology with Fooz on twitter I got a message from Jamie about the Likemind coffee morning in Central London that she thought might be of interest to me. I decided that I would go and it was worth the effort. From what I gather it’s held once a month. It’s a meeting that started around 0830 and continued till 1030 where a few people from various backgrounds in the media came to talk about a variety of topics.
