thanks, chris. that helps. if even a small group of tweeters start doing this, it seems that it starts to establish or claim the tag for our use and also create some content for pulling into the website. i'm glad to do what's needed to have that content show up, and it seems best to wait until you tweeters tell me that there's a enough volume there to make it worth doing. <br>
<br>curious though, do the #openspacetech characters count in the 140 (or whatever) limit per tweet?<br><br>m<br><br><br clear="all"> <br>--<br><br>Michael Herman<br>Michael Herman Associates<br><br><a href="http://www.michaelherman.com">http://www.michaelherman.com</a><br>

Michael:<br><br>So basically in twitter, the tagging convention is to add a hash mark in front of a word. So if you make a tweet talking about Barack Obama and you tag it with #obama, it will show up in a query on that tag (here for instance <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23obama&source=navbar&category=search" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/search?q=%23obama&source=navbar&category=search</a>) That query page also produces an RSS feed, same as the other tags we use at flickr and around the blogosphere (openspacetech). Wordpress has plug ins that will publish twitter feeds on a blog sidebar so if we ever wanted to show Open Space practitioner tweets on the osw sidebar (tagged with #openspacetech for example) it shouldn't be too hard. <br>
<br>That's the theory anyway. Question is really whether enough people are using it or see utility in using it, and I guess that remains to be seen. Perhaps those of us that do tweet OST related stuff could start using the #openspacetech tag (#OST is already in use) and we could see what happens. So I'll start tagging tweets that way. Here's the first tweet on the new query page: <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=openspacetech" target="_blank">http://search.twitter.com/search?q=openspacetech</a><br>

maybe it's listserve randomness, or pilot error here... but i didn't see anything about tweetfeed and osw? and being a non-tweeter, i don't understand even now that it's mentioned. explain what it is and how it would work, raffi? and what is required to set it up? thanks,m <br>

Thanks all for this rich and passionate conversation!<br>
<br>
To those who use tweet:<br>
<br>
what do you find to be the benefits of using Twitter? What's different? How<br>
has it enriched your life, your work?<br>
<br>
I looked on your blog, Holger, a little. If you think there are any posts<br>
that communicate the value and benefits of Twitter, perhaps you could share<br>
them?<br>
<br>
I've been on Facebook for a couple of months and, well, it's nice...<br>
<br>
I like the way you framed the value of such applications michael (herman).<br>
<br>
Thus far, I'd say, that my experience has been that for my tribe, OSlist has<br>
been the most valuable tool. Indeed, I've made some connections just from<br>
the list that have flowered into full-blown real life friendships.<br>
<br>
Also, like Chris's idea of adding an ost tweetfeed to OSW...<br>
<br>
warmly,<br>
raffi<br>
