Twitter is launching Wednesday a photo sharing service
What we (suppose to) know by now: it will be similar to TwitPic and YFrog. It could be the beginning of a new step in expanding the service and gaining more autonomy.
Let's wait till tomorrow.

Where you've been when Osama was killed?
Image by gbaku via FlickrMy personal story: for the history of the online world - I was sleeping. When I woke up, I didn't switch on the TV set or open the website of my favorite international newspapers. Not at all, I logged to my Twitter account and to my Facebook account. Since then - the last 5 hourst - I am permanently browsing social media for updates.
But ten years ago... when 11/9 occured, I was in the front of the TV. For a final confirmation, I called several of my friends from NYC asking them what it is all about... The whole operation lasted about 5 hours.
What about you? What kind of recent experience do you have with social media as a source of direct news and information?
Books about the 2.0 world
The latest titles, in German. As usual, I can't stop being surprised about the high level of theoretical discussions about social media, in comparison with the clumsy approached I've encountered very often in the real and practical playground.

Me and Twitter
I am a passionate user of Twitter and especially in the last year I learned a lot about how to use it and made reliable connections with other Twitter users.
However, I have a couple of frustrations about:
- Wish I can have more interactive tools, mostly chat-wise, mostly for the lists you are in.
- 140 words it's a good ratio, but maybe in some cases the conversation is strictly limited.
- The new Twitter looks very clumsy and hard to manage properly.
- Excepting this new Twitter, there are not too much features introduced regularly, despite a need for improvement.
- I wish that, following Facebook's example, to restrict permanently the access to my information of somebody I blocked. It's fair like that, isn't it?
That's all for now. I should prepare my list of #FF.

First hand experiences with Tumblr
Image via CrunchBaseMy e-learning plan for this month was to learn how to use WordPress and Tumblr. The first wish was the included too in plan for the last three months, but probably my time management was a failure lately.
It is how I started first with tumblr. I am still at the beginning, trying to figure out various kind of applications, available or not, from a format to another. But, this is the third day of actively using it, so I don't expect technical wonders.
The first hand experiences by now are positive. Sometimes, I am a bit excited. I am a dedicated user of blogger since 2007. Some of my blogs are successful, some of them not at all, up to the time I dedicated to their promotion and as long as I provided proper content. Despite the high quality content and the active involvement, I am extremely unhappy with the level of interactivity. In the case of tumblr, in the first day of blogging, without any effort of promotion, I had registered traffic and started the dialogue with my followers. The re-blog option - the Re-Tweet version - is a treasure for sharing and commenting ideas. I will continue discovering the hidden treasures of tumblr, and advancing with the professional use of WordPress.
Happy blogging day!
