Twenty Tweets #17

It is always a great aha! moment whenever you capture yourself doing a klutzy thing - for if I am transfering my personal orientated tweets to my blog, then I don't need all the paraphenelia of twitter shortform, though I will include it below as a social courtesy, but I really need to be more with it in regards to these habitual mindlocks.  If people re-tweet, then I can re-design my social media experience - it is the same principle but on a much more local scale.  I'm noticing that I am picking up tweets of more or less the same group of names, and this is a handful compared to the 24 twitter profiles I am following.  I still don't understand why there is incessant push to "have more followers" - to use the next and greatest Twitter tool to get "more followers" - but in the greater and grander of scheme of things, what does that really have to do with me?  If there are 4 people and one of them behaves like me, I will call that a problem - but if you have 4 Million, it don't matter diddly squat - for then I am just a grain of sand on the Twitter beach.  (OK shut up and post this and get on with life) Worth repeating again and again that I am thinking out aloud, and that this is what "Twenty Tweets" and FREEDOM OASIS is all about . . . duh! action learning - learning by engaging (and even doing)...

      Interesting report via John Byrne - Business Week, Fast Company & Inc Magazine is an interesting combination - IMHO if it shares "community"

      RT@jowyang says...Someday, I'll publish a book. I ask CEOs "what are the 3 things you've learned being a CEO" One common theme? Focus     
           
  6.
      One word answers like "Focus" are always dangerous but I agree with Owyang it is key - as long as what means focus includes the roadwork/prep

      RT@JohnAByrne...says: Today's most-read story at BW.com: "Apple vs. Google: Tech's Newest Rivalry?" http://is.gd/22mkt

      The tussle between software behemoths always holds a fascination for me, because it can teach us how to sort hyperbole from insider realities

      Jay Rosen's "screw off' tweet to Andrew Keen was very interesting. He says Keen polarized social media - what's not polarized these days ???

      Jeremiah Owyang twittered he covered 10 meetings in a day - he is a leader of social media experience, is this what I should also expect Uh!

      A pleasure of learning about Ivan Klíma after reading via a Guy Kawasaki link - and in doing realized I don't need shortened URL for my blog

      I had heard of Milan Kundera good to be aware of the Czech literary pedigree - much better than echoing platitudes from armchair protesters!

      From there I stumbled onto Granta (what a fab resource Wikipedia is) now this is only serendipity if it closes the loop with the yet unknown

      [TBA] JohnAByrne-RT@carminegallo The one question that matters most in presentations. My new BusinessWeek column: http://tinyurl.com/nuvwaf

      John A. Byrne back in my upwardly mobile perspective - simply because of volume of interesting content (though I'm a bit miffed it's all BW)
         
  17.
      Still a long way to go before I have twitter purring to "My Way" but there is good evidence that if I am smart about use, it will be great !
         
  18.
      "Trending Topics" should be called "Herd-Instinct American Style" - look at it "Bill Clinton" "North Korea" "Kim Jong-il" 3 topics (1 story)
         
  19.
      Ah! I descended into the mucky-mucky of instant porridge criticism - why should I care if there is trending no trending topic - (bad habit)
