<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Thanks all for this discussion of Twitter.  During my illness
and recovery I’ve begun to play with facebook and twitter.  Toronto is
extremely linked on facebook – I keep connection with some aspects of my kids lives
and their friends (e.g. as they change their relationship status or post new
pictures).   Lately, I’ve been connecting to family in Kansas.  Twitter has
been less engaging, partly because I’ve not known much about what it its or
could be.  Viv and Chris, in fact, prompted my initial attention and John Engle
and Douglas have been recent additions.  I’ll try to add #Openspacetech when
appropriate in the future.  Do we do that only for OST related entries?  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Yup...the tag counts, but
Twwetdeck, the software I use to twitter has several handy ways for shortening
posts and links, so it's still usually plenty of characters for a tweet.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></p>

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

<p class=MsoNormal>maybe it's listserve randomness, or pilot error here... but

<p class=MsoNormal>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>
