How the "Ground Zero Mosque" team tapped into Twitter

The team behind a controversial plan to build an Islamic community center near the World Trade Center site in New York has been using Twitter to respond to critics. Oz Sultan, the consultant managing the campaign, says he has had to learn on the fly, and is dialing down his usual snark and quirky jokes in a bid to defuse the pubic relations storm

How Black People May Or May Not Use Twitter

Farhad Manjoo wrote a recent Slate article called “How Black People Use Twitter”.Online backlash from the black community was swift and harsh

…I’ve never seen that! Black people ride bikes? There’s a black guy on a skateboard? Black people ride skateboards?! And it becomes a sort of thing. But no, they’re on a bike and a skateboard for the same reason why anybody would be on a bike and a skateboard. There’s no special, racialized way of skateboarding or riding a bike, and that’s the same way it is with Twitter.” But Manjoo says that, on Twitter, Black people actually do behave differently. “The reason that the article is about black people is because these participants in these hashtags are using the service in a unique way,” Manjoo says. “And I think that one of the reasons why I wasn’t interested in how white people use Twitter is because I haven’t seen groups of white people use it in this very interesting way.” Which takes us back to that Slate image of a Twitter bird with brown skin wearing an oversized baseball cap the image used to further illustrate that difference.

…when it comes to engaging and identifying with information online, Facebook and Twitter are where users value their time.”I don’t know about that. Not to say that I have anything more constructive to offer necessarily. The premise of this post seems to be that Facebook and Twitter are similar services maybe. I don’t see them as such, they are complementary. Most if not many Facebook users probably have a Twitter account that is either populating or populated by their Facebook account some percentage of the time. Post for some may start in Brightkite, Loopt or Gowalla, still ultimately winding up both on Twitter and Facebook. How do you count that realistically and is anyone even trying.To date no one has found a way to break out social media numbers in a meaningful way other than to say this has more of this than something else when the truth is far more nuanced. Those of us who use multiple services like Google reader, Digg, Twitter and Facebook and goodness knows what else do so because certain services…

TweographyTweographyThe fantastically-named Tweography has an interesting function it maps where your tweets have been sent from. If you have a geo-location-enabled Twitter account, you can sign in to see your tweets plotted on a map, which will probably be more interesting for jet-setters than anyone who stays within a few miles of home.
