Did You See It In The Times?
Nov 10
NFAIS members are aware of the usefulness of Twitter for
purposes of current awareness; see for example the twitter stream from
NFAIS member organization, AIP. Are they aware as well of
The Twitter
Tim.es? A social recommendation system, TwitterTim.es looks at
the tweets of those you follow as well as those who are re-tweeting
items from those same individuals. It then generates an aggregated
set of items as a customized newspaper. *Very interesting*. For
example, I doubt that I would have seen
Mark Cuban's piece on the significance of Twitter replacing
Google as a mechanism for news-gathering, had it not been for seven
Twitterati pointing and retweeting it, driving it to the head of
my newspaper on TwitterTim.es.
For college students and professional writers.
