Avez vous déjà fait l'erreur de marquer twitters.com au lieu de twitter.com ?
En tout cas quelqu'un savait que ça allait arriver et il a réagit. J'apprécie particulièrement cet humour qui nous renvoie d'un air déçu vers le site que l'on recherche vraiment.

Ma question est qui a fait ça ? Est-ce twitter qui aurait pris l'initiative d'acheter un deuxième nom de domaine uniquement pour faire une blague, ou un buzz qui ne donne que 500 réponses sur google quand on rentre twitters.com ? Pourquoi non t'il pas fait une redirection toute simple ? Peut être y a t'il quelqu'un qui tire les ficelles ?

I love following, I love "listening" I love being a selectibitionist. I love the blog look and feel of it. I like that you have only 140 characters to say what you want. It forces one to become a more concise writer. I would suggest you frequent tinyurl.com to shorten the length of any url's you want to share or promote.

It's a difficult thing to describe. I found this video and thought I'd share. It gives a good basic understanding of what Twitter is. It's much more than, "what coffee am I drinking". To quote from Dan Farber of C/net News.com:

The reality is that humans in the early 21st century will be required to process and buffer more discrete, loosely coupled bits of data than in the past of human history. Over the next few decades, more intelligence will seep into the network, filtering the overflowing stream for each of the 7 billion or 8 billion inhabitants of the planet and shaping more meaningful connections.

There are problems with Twitter, it frequently goes down and the context of a message can easily get lost, but I'm a fan and hooked and a selectibitionist. (I just like saying that word.) So watch the video. Go check out Twitter. Check me out and become my follower and let me know you too. Have fun.

The delightful Kitty Lalonde provided the venue, with help from the talented Willow Caldera!! (She made one of the best circles to be found on the grid!) There was much debate and confusion regarding the time of the party, converting from BST to SL time, but it was finally settled that 1:30 SLT was in fact 9:30pm BST.

The turn out was great! The avatars/costumes were fantastic!! Some of the best loved and well know showed up!!

Johan Yuge as Dr Who

Osiris Pfalz as Audrey Hepburn

Willow Caledra Alice of Resident Evil

For myself, I finally decided to go as Morticia Adams of The Adams Family. There then followed some very frantic shopping for skin, hair and poses/animations.  The outfit I decided to do myself.  (Oh the joys of being a fashion designer!)  And here is the finished result.

• Hair by Sirena - Spirit Black Pack
• Skin by Fleur - Vivant Gothique Corbeau 1
• Nails by Fleur - Claret Nails
• Shape - custom made
• Eyebrows - custom made
• Dress by Bluebell Productions
• Pose by Digital Dragon - Man Pose 3

My friend Rik Pfalz hosted the first ever (to my knowleger) Twitter Meet-up in Second Life®.

Soo many peeps turned up, we ran outa seating and set a few on fire. Oops! Sorry Jacek!!

It was fantastic to put 'virtual' faces to Twitter names, and met a few new Twitteroos to follow! (Will be adding you guys shortly!)

And just when we thought the Party was winding down.......

Kitty Lalonde got us all line dancing!! The choreography was fantastic, everyone in harmoney dancing to Thriller, Pussycat Dolls.....

And the party continued!

Today, I read the following article which discusses speculations regarding Web 3.0 and asks the question, "What would you like Web 3.0 to be?" The article is from Soshable and can be read here: Soshable: Web 3.0

Webster defines "hybrid" in the following way:

1: an offspring of two animals or plants of different races, breeds, varieties, species, or genera
2: a person whose background is a blend of two diverse cultures or traditions
3 a: something heterogeneous in origin or composition : composite b: something (as a power plant, vehicle, or electronic circuit) that has two different types of components performing essentially the same function

The idea of two different species of websites merging together interests me very much, but beyond this I am weary about centralization, worried about the flow covering over my discovery of potential useful information. After having read about FriendFeed from several social media blogs, I created my account and began "sharing." What immediately struck me was the absolute minimalism of one's profile page, the strict focus on the data-stream as opposed to the development of one's self through the use of symbols (as greatly seen on MySpace). However, without any "friends" on FriendFeed to keep track of, I visited the "Everyone" page to observe the conversational flow. What immediately stuck out was the frequent Twitter feeds that wouldn't quit and proved quite distracting, until I realized that I was essentially merely an observer. After sharing a link, I watched as it quickly vanished into the nether world, just another blip from someone on the other side of the world. This kind of fast-moving meaningless glimpse at the snippets of conversations, makes me realize the necessity of adding "friends" to the Friendfeed site. Ah, I have digressed. Where was I? Ah yes, Social Hybridity.

Under a Black Sky, Disconnected

As I was walking outside this evening under the black Japan sky amidst the industrial bleakness of the suburbs, I began to really think what feature I would like to see emerge in Web 3.0. I began thinking about the idea of more online literature, downloadable books perhaps merging with a literary networking site, but then I realized that I am still very much attached to a real book, the feeling of turning the pages, savoring the textures of the book...

Returning to the Tower of Babel

Then, I had a thought. What is it that would make interacting with others easier? What am I missing in the chatter that comes from languages that I have never studied and do not understand? The separation of tongues was also very evident on the "FriendFeed" "everyone" viewing experience. I saw random Twitters and blog posts in foreign languages appear and, upon refreshing the page, washed away. What may be interesting, although it is perhaps quite far-fetched, would be a social networking site with emphasis on international linguistic diversity and some kind of function which would translate the other's language into the language of my choice and vice versa. Of course, this is far-fetched in that even with advanced online translators, we all know that the task of translating from one language to another loses something, there is something that the computerized translation software cannot grasp and cannot adequately express. The slang, the nuance, sarcasm and word-play tend to get lost when filtered through the computerized translator. In my dream space, this would be realizable. That is, I would like to see a site with emphasis on translatability, on being able to see a page in Chinese appear in English with 99% of its natural flare in tact. Moreover, through a chat function, my words would be instantly translated to the other and the other's to me, in our mother tongue. Perhaps, this would be one of my hopes for social hybridity.

However, there is one obvious consequence of this idea of linguistic hybridity that comes to mind and that is a decline in the challenge to learn a language. Therefore, perhaps the site could also feature a rich translation tool that allows one to see just how words are being translated, online language lessons and the history of the development of the language (a kind of built-in Wiki). Of course, the site could also host various podcasts, international vlogs, downloadable educational content and the like. Eduction + Interaction.

Think Tank Create Tank

Another idea that comes to mind is a space that allows those wishing to collaborate on a project, brainstorm ideas visually and textually, working together to create some kind of multimedia project across the platform of a social networking site. For example, three musicians existing in three different countries come together through the site and are able to upload music files to their perhaps "private" group space online (on the SNS site), the site also provides a voice chat option/web cam option and spaces for sketching ideas visually and taking notes. In this way, the musicians at their own pace can work to collaborate on a piece of music, editing it in their own countries at the own homes, but uploading it and editing it through the social networking site itself. One may visualize this as a kind of think tank social networking site for professionals to meet, network and work together. Of course, not only musicians but video artists, online poets, fashion designers, architects, urban planners and virtual reality designers as well could use this page.

I realize that both of the ideas presented here are macro in scope devoid of any technical way of making these ideas happen, but they are just to get the juices flowing, so to speak. Social hybridity, social hybridity, social hybridity...

Questions

So now I pass it on to you....what are your hopes for Web 3.0 and what problems would you like see solved? The Media Ecologist Neil Postman asked the question, "What problem is this new technology the solution?" I am curious as to what your online "problems" are and how new socially minded applications could help solve them?

Fille et amateur de cette couleur réjouissez vous.

A parte che so già che la Frannazza mi odia (Fran te la faccio pagare per la foto chiamandoti con i nomignoli più strani) ché praticamente ogni giorno, prima di questo tanto agognato evento, le andavo chiedendo :"ma allora?si è fatto sentire qualcuno?è tutto pronto?verrà qualcuno?" insomma per dirla in termini popolari ho fatto un po' la mia bellissima parte della rompiballe. [Che già noi per decidere il giorno, luogo e ora non potete immaginare il sudore dei nostri neuroni] ma vabbè a parte ciò..

Per me era la prima volta (e la prima mica si dimentica) che partecipavo ad un incontro ravvicinato del 3° tipo. (bè tra l'altro era impossibile che non vi partecipassi..lo abbiamo organizzato la Fran e io:) ). Devo dire che l'emozione di conoscere persone che in genere ho sempre visto "cristallizzate" dietro un avatar era tanta.

Io son arrivata con il mio quarto d'ora di ritardo già pre-progammato perché (vi chiedo scusa, non me ne vogliate) non conoscendo nessuno non volevo aspettare e crogiolarmi nei dubbi di incrociare un qualsiasi cristo per la strada e chiedere: "Ma tu sei.." "ma se qui per.." "anche tu per.." Insomma ho fatto la mia vigliaccata, lo riconosco. [sento già la Fran e Adamo dietro la porta con dei manganelli]. Però eh..che acume,il mio :P

Così praticamente son arrivata ed ho trovato il gruppetto già bell'e pronto, senza dovermi "impegnare"nel cercare io le persone (che bastarda madò..lo riconosco).

In ogni caso quando arrivo io trovo già la Fran (chevelodicoafare), la Sara (Ripellina), Adamo (4passi) e Marco(link plissss). Dopo i convenevoli ("ma ciaaaooooo"! e i vari :"adesso cosa dico?") ci raggiunge Linda (Limine) [che addirittura si è scomodata direttamente da Modena per venire a questo incontro (vabbè ma per noi questo ed altro :P)]la quale era un attimino in balia della statua di Garibaldi. Ma poi prontamente grazie al suo sguardo d'aquila (e quello della Fran) ci nota e sicuramente avrà pensato:"omadonnasanta, e chi sono sti figuri?" ovviamente scherzo (cioè nn lo so,Linda dimmelo tu: lo hai pensato?).

A questo punto attendiamo il Felter bresciano che quando ci ha chiamati era sicuramente nei pressi di Timbuctu a giudicare dal tempo che ci ha messo a parcheggiare e raggiungerci (:P), e le uniche due parmigiane doc Minerva84 e Octavia (però eh, voi due in ritardo più di me :P )

Riunita la truppa si prende codesta pizza tutti assieme. Il cameriere volevamo farlo accomodare con noi, tanto era gentile e cordiale. Proprio il personaggio che mancava al nostro gruppo. (tsk..un altro po' e ci lanciava le pizze in faccia) .Peccato non aver immortalato le sue espressioni da :"Semirompeteleballesputosullavostrapizza" e noi muuuti,zitti e rrrassegnati abbiamo sopportato il suo dolce sguardo.

Successivamente, dopo aver pagato il conto ad una parmigianissima cassiera (uè ragazzi, ià facciamo che mi date 13 a testa..jammbell), ci dirigiamo verso il pub Dulcamara.

Perdiamo tre componenti (Marco, Minerva ed Ovctavia) e ne acquistiamo 2 al pub: il Joshuavox e la sua dolce donzella Elena.

Qui se ne son viste delle belle: a partire dal tavolo assegnatoci (per 40 persone) e si vabbè che la nostra stazza ed importanza ingombra, però dai non mi sembrava il caso..suvvia.

Il Felter che mi ordina una stupenda quanto mai inaspettata acqua tonica, io e l'Adamo che ordiniamo uno Spritz (che in effetti le 23.30 mi sembra l'ora giusta per lo spritz) e gli altri..vabbè almeno si mantengono suol normale (birra, coca, mohjto)

L'episodio poi del corvaccio/a (a seconda) non lo riporto dato che con molta solerzia lo han riportato Adamo, Joshuavox e la Fran (vi dico solo che ci siamo scappottati dalle risate).

Tra ricordi di figuredicacca, episodi vari ci raccontiamo un po'..ovviamente il grado intellettuale dei nostri discorsi è molto molto alto :)

(del tipo il mio: "Andrea Beggi is now following you! aaaaaaaH!)

poi quando, non so chi, dice :"ehi caspita, si son fatte le 12.30..peeerò!"

la Sara se ne esce con un :"oddiomiooo!!!" con annessa faccia di è-successo-qualcosa-di-gravissimo-sconvolgente-aiuto!"

Noi le facciamo: "cosa è successo?!?"

"la mia macchinaaaa!si sarà trasformata in zucca!"

:D

a quel punto si è detto: basta alcol nei dopocena. (Sara, tra l'altro te avevi anche preso una coca !)

a parte gli scherzi bella serata, davvero :D

grazie cari Twitterssss/Bloggersssss.Speriamo di poter replicare magari anche con qualche presenza in più (e sennò chisenefrega, noi c'avemo er cameriere)

Forse queste cene/incontri possono anche servire da testimonianza al fatto che internet in fondo..non è sempre il male. Come qualcuno va dicendo..

Le bellissime foto (no, perchè sono un bijoux ) le potete trovare qui , quii ed ancora quiii

Intanto una ve la metto qui, vè

Como ya es de conociemiento público... los twitteros prendemos con agua. Solo bastó con que nuestra amiga @acrylique dijera x twitter "tengo ganas de comer pizza" para que saltaran todos los hambrientos que en ese momento estaban "tuitiritiando", matriculándose inmediatamente en el Festín a la Romana.

Así fue, se puso hora y lugar, 18.30 y la junta era en metro Pedro de Valdivia.

Llegamos al Pizza Hut de PDV cn Guardia Vieja. Entramos y ya estábamos instalados, cuando nos dimos cuenta que no había "Festín" en ese local ¬¬.

Preguntamos y nos fuimos rapiditos al Pizza Hut de Apoquindo con El Bosque, dos estaciones más arriba de donde estábamos. @actiondatsun y @acrylique entraron a preguntar para no seguir rebotando si había "Festín" y las respuesta fue un SÍ.

Entramos felices de la vida, pagamos, y comenzó la comilona. En lo personas, no aguanté mucho. Varios aplicaron sus técnicas de "no comerse los bordes de la pizza", cosa que por ley yo no hago (no dejo bordes de pizza, ni menos cachitos de las empanadas xD) .

Así pasaron las horas... glotoneando de lo lindo, olvidándonos de la hora y de las dietas... y también pelando a los otros twitteros... jajajaja

Espero que pronto haya otra junta, en donde puedan ir muchos más.
