This variable is important to this study as these outcome expectations should help to predict one’s level of engagement in voluntary public-private based citizen science projects.

It talks about how Twitter may be a breakthrough in reporting on federal court trials, which ban audio, video, photography and sometimes cell phones from the courtroom.

If the student is trying to access the server on a laptop via wireless, this
will not be possible.  If they connect their machine to the ASU network with
an ethernet cable, they will be able to access the server.

The process for connecting on a windows machine is the following:

1. Click on “Start -> Run”
2. Type two backslashes then the name of the server so
“\\journalism.asu.edu” and click OK.
3. This should prompt for username/password, type in the correct information

I hope this answers your question.  Please let us know if you have any
additional questions.

Here are some highlights of the recent Pew/Internet Report on Twitter.

• 11% of online adults use Twitter
• Users skew younger, median age 31
• Twitter is intertwined with use of blogs and social network sites
• Twitter users consume blog content; 21% read someone else’s blog “yesterday” and 29% have created a blog

MediaPost also commented on the recent report. Maxine also shared with me the NY Times story Dr. Gilpin mentioned in class.

The guide claims to address and standardize the not-so-subtle challenges of style in a 140-character-limit composition. It will be interesting to see what conventions come up for shortening words while not shorting meaning.

It’s also worth noting the book will not be published traditionally.  It’s set to release on iTunes.  That in itself comes as an interesting turn of events.  Promoters claim the digital release will “reduce the need for a major investment upfront,” possibly serving as a testing ground for public interest.  Will iTunes become a primary-release publishing tool?  This story holds many implications for the future of print/online’s relationship.

I want to tweet your latest blog post, follow some people, and explore Twitter.

1. Go to Settings > Notices > change to @Replies: Show me all @ all replies. This will make it easier for other Twitter users to find you. Also, check boxes for “E-mail when someone starts following me” and “E-mail when I receive a new direct message.”

2. Keep your messages shorter than 140 characters. This way people can retweet your message. To retweet, add it to the person’s message “RT@originalsender. Try to thank those who retweet you.

3. To keep your URLs short, copy and paste URLs to Tiny URL or Bit.ly.

4. Twitter Patterns is a place to find backgrounds for your site.

5.  Complete your bio and upload a pic. This encourages people to follow you. Otherwise, you may look boring, don’t know what you are doing, or spammish.

6. Avoid saying what you are doing. Instead, contribute interesting thoughts, questions or URLs.

7. Tweet Beep is the Google Alert for Twitter.

8. Use Twitter search to find tweets and people who use Twitter.
