Hey, This Twitter Thing, It Might Just Catch On


Day one from CoSIDA, and while I'm a little down that no one else seems to be hash tagging with either #cosida or #2009cosida, there was a heck of a crowd at the table topics for -- you guessed it -- Twitter and Facebook. Hard to tell from the photo, but CoSIDA vets know when you get a single row of folks standing around a full table topic, you've got an attention grabber. Look carefully at the heads in the foreground -- that's a double, and partially triple, deep crowd.

First and foremost -- it's TwitterFeed, not TweetDeck -- that picks up your RSS and converts it into TinyURL for your feed. My apologies for mis-remembering.

Here's an interesting side note in from my own TweetDeck -- which is the excellent tool for doing content searches -- of a new website devoted to picking off and displaying the world's last hour's worth of images off the TwitPic/yfrog photos. Careful -- depending on what might have been posted in the last hour, that could be NSFW. That nugget from our local new media entity, Fayetteville Flyer.
