Who’s talking about SharePoint? How much?
There’s a new Twitter search engine out called Topsy. Interesting playground, that one.
Spent a couple minutes and it helped me realize that some people know how to use the word “SharePoint” in their tweets, and some don’t. I’d have to put myself in the latter category.
Follow me on Twitter: @EUSP. I think you’ll see the word “SharePoint” a lot more often.
Watch it Jeremy and Michael. I’ve got your number.
Nice to see the SharePoint Dev WIki up there too…proud of the community and their efforts on this one!
Not sure what you are implying…whether I’m using it properly or not. Any tweet relating to SharePoint i tag as #SharePoint. And I use other tags for #Dev etc too.
People complain, but if you don’t like it, unfollow me ;-) “It’s how I roll”
I still think Twitter will evolve out of the whole “Reading” thing and people will move to Diigo, Digg or del.icio.us for this…although that means checking two things! So Twitter will aggregate all these services. I think a tag is needed for #Reading or #Link or even #URL so people can filter it ;-)
I’ve now added a #Link tag to my tweets that are aggregated from my Diigo bookmarking favourites so that people can filter if they chose. But I’ve found people get a lot of value out of them…saves them reading 1000’s of feeds, I filter out the repeats for them ;-)
Really be great if community would take on diigo or digg more seriously that way we could just simply read those that got dugg the most!
Jeremy,
> Not sure what you are implying…whether I’m using it properly or not.
I’m implying that I’m not using it properly. I have a search column setup in TweetDeck just to handle the term “SharePoint”. Through using Topsy, I can see why I’m not showing up so often in that column.
I do like your use of #link, #reading, by the way. Makes sense for filtering and managing.
Regards,
Mark
Mark: there’s a big difference between knowing how to use the word “SharePoint” and using it often (this comment doesn’t target the top authors you list here).
There’s also a difference between “SharePoint” and “#SharePoint”. For example:
“Just finished another SharePoint implementation”
vs.
“#SharePoint weekly podcast http://tinyurl.com/JoelMark thanks @EUSP”
Christophe – Nice little plug in there for “This Week in SharePoint w/ Joel”. Appreciate it. — Mark
Mark, don’t get distracted from your main topic ;-)
From a community standpoint, I’d say this search is more relevant:
http://topsy.com/search?q=%23sharepoint
compare the two, you’ll see how Jeremy wisely plays with the “#”.
Yes also TweetMeme does a similar thing and I think is a bit more mature than Topsy:
http://tweetmeme.com/search.php?for=sharepoint
although it doesn’t do authors…it does allow you to add their widget to your posts to RT ;-)
Yes I’m definatley going to stick with #SharePoint and #link to get round noise of people saying “Sharepoint is crap!” etc. ;-) although both of these services only pick up tweets with links which helps with noise a bit too.
@Jeremy: to get links, I search for “#SharePoint” and “http”.
