Afternoon Coffee Reading - 30th March 2011
The tabs in my browser were getting out of hand. Time for a link dump:
- Is Twitter more media than social? Interesting. I suspect that there’s lots of research to be done on different communities and their use of the Twitter.

Damn right they do – too many journalists just can’t make the connection between the way they report and the reaction it garners
- Invest time and effort to attract “the right kind” of contributors – another riff on the theme
