It has grown hugely in the last year, not only in the techie-world for sharing ideas but also as a very important and immediate social tool that can be used for real progress, such as the Trafigura case.<br /><br />Unfortunately the other side is true as well: I really don't want to know what vacuous celebs are doing.marshall-lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971801808650368361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171410709455484919.post-48394130796241858292009-03-09T08:29:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:29:00.000-07:00Robert - Thanks for your comment.

Yep celebrity noise would be a great thing to filter out :-)<BR/><BR/>Birgit - Thanks for your comments, unfortunately the mountain rescue story has a very sad end.http://tinyurl.com/dgojce our thoughts are with the family of Rob Williams.<BR/><BR/>Regarding @ and # tags, @ refers to a person (e.g. @GeorgiaBrown) and # refers to a place or event (e.g. #Manchester #NS20).

I read in the newspaper not so long ago that Twitter was used to rescue someone that fall of a mountain.<BR/><BR/>As a newby (and someone not that interested in it TBH) I'm always puzzled with the specific usage of characters like @ and #. <BR/>Could you explain them?Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628853708852675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171410709455484919.post-63914925820032415742009-02-25T01:38:00.000-08:002009-02-25T01:38:00.000-08:00Celebrity noise is a real issue.

On the other hand, it is bringing Twitter more into the mainstream which would encourage people with widely different interests to make use of the service - which in turn would benefit everyone.<BR/><BR/>It would be useful if the Tweetdeck filter could be expanded so that you could exclude any tweets that reference @wossy or @rustyrockets from all of your streams. I would have prioritised that over 12 seconds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678112983969018143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9171410709455484919.post-3602283241948764322009-02-23T01:45:00.000-08:002009-02-23T01:45:00.000-08:00Apparently there was some strange coding showing f...Apparently there was some strange coding showing for some of you reading my blog??<BR/><BR/>Thanks to Andy for pointing that out, I hope that it is all fixed now - I have tried my best :-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>GeorgiaGeorgia Marshall-Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467342509071017260noreply@blogger.com
