To be brutally honest, though, “zietgeist” strikes me as an awfully fancy word for what you must admit is mostly trivial, vacuous, banal.

Haven’t sign up yet. Do I really want to spend my days reading and writing tweets? Especially when I don’t understand what most of them are saying?

Along with using Annotations for urgency, we should also use them for corrections. My latest column for Columbia Journalism Review picks up this idea: http://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/eruption_interrupted.php?page=all

Your post helped me, so thanks.

I think you are spot on in your initial recommendations of what metadata Twitter annotations might be include.

I agree that Linked Data / Semantic Web schema could be particularly useful. It could massively scale search effectiveness and distribution opportunities while allowing sophisticated on-the-fly analysis of Twitter’s firehose & other feeds.

The Twitter ecosystem is particularly suited to applying principles of the Semantic Web in that machine interpolated meaning and “Twitter Resonance” could be continually refined the more humans tweet & retweet about the same and related topics (resolved by semantic entity detection; coupled with author, location, hashes, platform, temporal and other information.

The Marshall Kirkpatrick RWW piece you referenced suggests that Twitter intends to leave the annotation classification system to be determined by the market.

@ZacharyCohen today opined today, “that social media, in its purest form, is our generations’ destiny hammer.” http://bit.ly/9TwZ2T

I suspect the conversation on how Twitter annotation metadata standards might best serve potential services is just beginning. I hope to find your thoughtful voice joining others in this rare opportunity to help shape an attribute of a powerful social media tool.

]]> Comment on The Long And Short Of It by Mike Seidle http://nimblecode.com/2009/08/17/the-long-and-short-of-it/#comment-198 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:10:00 +0000 http://nimblecode.com/?p=138#comment-198 I’ve recently become more and more skeptical of web analytics systems like Google Analytics and Web Trends because it’s tough to take a pass-through click tracker (like bit.ly), an image or script based tracker and log file analysis to even vaguely resemble one another. It seems like each method leaves something big out. The click trackers miss clicks that go around them (if they use a redirect), the image/scrip trackers often get blocked by anti-malware software, and logfiles miss content hits cached upstream.

@roman – I’m not surprised that that is bots are being counted.
