- I’m mildly amused by the innumerable attempts to measure influence on Twitter. There’s Twinfluence, Retweetrank, Twitter Grader, Twitstat… #
- “A link between any two people does not necessarily imply an interaction between them” -HP Labs research http://is.gd/ak9S #
- “The number of friends users have is very small compared to the number of people they actually follow” http://is.gd/ak9S #
- “Tto assess the size of the network that matters we need to consider people who actually communicate thru dm w each other” http://is.gd/ak9S #
- “Thus the need to find the hidden network; the one that matters when trying to rely on word of mouth to spread an idea” http://is.gd/ak9S #
- Re: that paper, it does’nt account for idea propagation thru search or random behavior. It just says “influence ain’t what you think it is” #
- In other words, “information is social” and your friends can act as information intermediaries. #
- I can’t wait for the #shortyawards to be over. This has gone on far too long! #
- How did this happen? This was not an actual nomination (no slight intended on @macdavid ) http://shortyawards.com/user/MacDavid #
- I wonder if Bjork could buy Iceland? In any case, she’s launching a sustainable investment fund for her country http://is.gd/eioD #
- The Miami tech community rallyes for RefreshMiami today in a bid to rank in Shorty Awards. Please help if you can! http://is.gd/egZK #
- Someone just gave me a compliment about my syllabus. A great way to end the year. Here is another syllabus, by @chimprawk http://is.gd/ej3H #
