after an analysis of more than 100 million blog posts, not surprisingly, the most active bloggers are younger people who have grown up during the blogging "revolution", which started about seven years ago. Bloggers in the 21-to-35 year-old demographic group account for 53.3% of the total blogging population. | source : www.mediapost.com
5- Le retweet sans auteur ni source
Cette pratique consiste à faire suivre un message en en gommant toute référence à l’utilisateur qui en est à l’origine: son nom, l’URL personnalisée (comme c’est le cas sur mon site avec des url du type: http://reyt.net/s/), etc. Dès lors, le retweet prend cette forme:
« [contribution]«
Il s’agit ici de faire passer le contribution comme une découverte de son auteur, et non le transfert du message d’un autre utilisateur. Cette méthode nous apprend plusieurs choses sur l’utilisateur qui la pratique:
* Il maquille un retweet en une contribution originale de sa part.
* Il veut éviter que ses followers découvrent un nouvel utilisateur et se détournent de lui.
* Il veut se positionner au sommet de la pyramide d’information. Il ne relaye pas, il est une source à lui tout seul.
* Il est influent ou rêve de l’être. | source : reyt.net
Findings were that there was a positive relationship between an active use of blogs and political participation on- and offline; there was no such correlation for passive use. (Younger people were especially active online; wealthier users offline.) Active use was also related to greater engagement with weak ties, disagreeing views, and better reasoning strategies. | source : snurb.info
Audience relationships as expressed by the bloggers could be categorised as self-directed (writing is a goal in itself), narrowcast (speaking to known friends), dialogic (speaking with known friends), and telelogic (speaking to or with anyone reading). Self-directed bloggers in particular seemed somewhat disinterested in responses, and even felt annoyed that they would now have to respond to their readers. | source : snurb.info
Few industries are experiencing greater upheaval at the hands of technological progress than the news media. New ideas are popping up every day, so we’ve collected five of the most interesting ones for your consideration.
The previous generation of sites that redefined the news birthed several household names — Twitter (Twitter), YouTube (YouTube) and Digg (Digg), to name a few.
It’s no secret that newspapers have struggled as blogs and social networking sites have grown in prominence, but in the rapidly changing worlds of mobile and web technology, the distribution methods for news information are once again shifting. It’s difficult to predict whether or not these newly noticed innovators will become as popular as their predecessors, but they are introducing new approaches to the consumption of information that few have tried or thought of before. | source : mashable.com
Depuis que Twitter existe, une part importante des infos publiées sur les blogs (pas tous, mais une majorité) se sont reportées sur le site de micro-blogging, comme sous l’effet d’une sorte d’auto-censure qui nous contraint à ne poster que des billets « sérieux », construits et argumentés. Et chiants, parfois aussi, il faut bien le dire. Au détriment des informations plus légères, qui sont devenues l’apanage des médias sociaux.
Bien sûr vos réactions à ce billet m’ont énormément fait réfléchir et ont déclenché une remise en question importante, m’amenant à réaliser que j’avais un peu perdu de vue deux fondamentaux de Presse-citron, qui figurent en toutes lettres : « Je livre ici mon point de vue de « professionnel de la profession » sur les infos – utiles ou futiles – que je glane au fil de mes rencontres sur la toile », et Le tempo d’un blog. | source : www.presse-citron.net
Defending her tweets and taking aim at the fallout, Deveny, who was sacked as a columnist for The Age over her Logies comments, likened Twitter to "passing notes in class, but suddenly these notes are being projected into the sky and taken out of context. "Twitter is online graffiti, not a news source."

Halstead believes an Alpha version of Annotations could be made available to developers in a month.
How about showing me all the Tweets from anyone that are referencing the President of the United States (subject: POTUS?), analyze the sentiment in the messages, show me where those Twitter users were located and tell me how those local sentiments change over time. Send me an alert when one of those starts to shift radically.
Show me all the Tweets by people in their 20's and in their 50's (imagine an author age tag in Annotations, why not?), living near the site of a disastrous event. How do those discussions differ? | source : www.readwriteweb.com
