For Twitter, you may want to give http://mentionmapp.com/beta/cl... a try. I use it to find new contacts to add to my network that I know I will share common interests with.

BTW, I accidentally hit shift-enter and was able to put a space between paragraphs.

What about the change in which the return/enter key no longer functions properly to create a line break, but now functions as "post" when commenting on someone else's post or in a group? Because what FB needed was less readability of comments.

I love @twitblockapp My question is... why do spam bots flood my account? they are just taking up space. yet i never see them tweet. can anyone explain why they exist. Should I enjoy that they enhance my follower list and quit complaining?

Not that I am aware of.

I'm not sure of that. I haven't read their privacy policy since they rewrote it to be clearer. Or maybe that's just their Terms of Service.

Are there any settings to enable that can prevent this? How does this not violate their own privacy policy?

I also recommend @TwitCleaner http://thetwitcleaner.com/ - it does not offer mass unfollow; you have to unfollow manually. (But that's the spirit of Twitter: if you don't do mass following, manually unfollowing a few 'dodgy' tweeps is not a big deal.)

I have found TwitCleaner to be very useful in identifying tweeps who tweet nothing but links, never engage with their followers, tweet nothing but RTs, etc.

BTW, I'm not affiliated w/ TwitCleaner in any way. :-)

I'm so glad you enjoyed my post on LinkedIn InMaps. Thanks so much for the link love!

Good post - and agree that Whitney Hess gives a brilliant overview of InMaps in the post you link to.

There are more services coming on-line to collage all your social media connections. One of them, Connected, I have just reviewed and gives these world/geographical maps. http://wp.me/pYnfH-8t

Bernie Hogan at Oxford University was doing this visualisation (InMaps style) stuff for Facebook last year. See this story:-

Just had a try - and not sure it is working. If you want to contact him - his details are here. http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people... - he's a really bright bloke doing research in this area.

Re: Twitter Rules of Engagement

Thanks for the reminders on how to behave and display basic good manners. It’s easy for some people to hide behind the veneer of anonymity when using social media. Fortunately, I think most people do take care in their interactions and how they respond on Twitter. The worst offenders of bad online behavior are those who comment anonymously in the world of mass media, especially the news outlets — not sure why so many of them feel the need to spew such venom but glad they don’t bring it to Twitter!

@samfiorella — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:28:21 -0000

I recently commented on another unrelated post how unfortanate it is that "sometimes we must be reminded of the simplest things".

This is one of those cases. As with other online media, not being able to look someone in the eye on Twitter seems to erase the importance of politeness, friendliness and good old fashioned "consideration" from the Tweeter's consciousness.

Maybe we need a new course in schools to teach people how to engage others online?

Great post on using hashtags to build movements!

I tried using twibes but I felt like it detracted from the whole simplicity of hashtags. WTHashtag is awesome but also leaves a lot missing.

How can you properly grow a tribe with the tools & hashtags out there?

Never heard of #nerdshirtfriday. I will have to follow and submit some photos (esp the ones that my wife won't let me wear anymore cause they are too nerdy :)

The words weren't removed, just the # symbol. Yet it kept the @ symbol on the Twitter IDs. Who knows.

Interesting...I wonder why those names were removed. Oh—I see klout!

The session where we learned about the #2 point was a great overview on the legal issues. LOTS to think about. It was nice meeting you yesterday!

Hi. I actually enjoyed reading your writing!. Top notch written content. I might recommend you to submit articles a bit more frequently. This way, having such type of a useful site I think you could rank better in the search engines
