Twitter More Complicated

As less and less blogging, I'm even more diligent mantengin TweetDeck.

In the TweetDeck app, users can set a lot of social networking accounts. In addition to Facebook and Twitter, users can add Foursquare account (marker site), Myspace (music), Buzz (microblogging la Google), and Linkedin (professional profile).
Of all the social networking services that could be used, I use three. Buzz, Facebook, and Twitter. Buzz was not much different from Twitter. At least that's what I know. The difference, Buzz, like Facebook, is not limited to 140 characters for memerbaharui status in your account.
In these two accounts, you could say I'm just a day memerbaharui status. In fact, sometimes a day as well miss it.
Twitter account now and then I wear it for two main things: writing and sharing information. As with other social networks, the use of Twitter looks just to mess around. In fact, I think, Twitter is able to support the activities of journalism as well.
For the context of journalism, I at least use Twitter for three things, namely learning to write short, spread the paper, as well as absorbing information from other sources. Here are three benefits of Twitter for journalists style I mentioned.
Learn to write short sentences
Because there are limits on the number of characters that can be written on Twitter just 140, then inevitably the users have to cooperate. There are some apps that can make a status that exceeds the limit amount. But, for what it is. Twitter art, yes, in 140 characters.
Consequently, Twitter users should be able to communicate short messages via status. In 140 characters, users must also convey the material understandable readers or followers (followernya).
I thought, heck, this is a separate training for journalists. Journalists are accustomed to using Twitter will be used to write shorter sentences.
Write in shorter sentences is important, especially for online media journalists. In the print media was not much different taste. Shorter sentences, the easier the reader to understand. Of course there must be an element completeness writings. At least what, who, and where.
Absorb information
Twitterland is like a bird market. Lots of chirping birds, including those that offer the bird itself. Every Friday there is a term Follow Friday # FF alias where Twitter users will promote "burungg-bird" that they deem worthy to be heard the booms.
Well, as a journalist, so we gain information about the person who does know and experts in a particular field.
In Twitterland journalists also can get information in real time from the field. Each person tends to immediately convey any information they have. Likewise, users of Twitter aka Tweeps. Here they can preach jams, floods, weather, or what they experienced.
Sometimes it sucks to see a time line or time line, the line where we can see what the booms, one Tweep contains only complaints about him. If it were so, hell, leave it out. Especially if I do not know personally.
Absorb information from Twitter is not only of those "ordinary", but also other media as a reference. For example, what is written Kompas.com can be submitted by Reuters account on Twitter. Similarly, information from detik.com, Vivanews, BBC, Poynter, Wikileaks, and so on.
Following media accounts or institutions facilitate journalists to obtain information or opportunities.
Deploying writing (amplifier)
One of the functions of social networking media is to make the sound more resonant. Again, is this for the media with the online account. Twitter also said one of its functions.
Through Twitter, journalists can disseminate the writings in the form of a link (link) as a status update. This is similar to Facebook in fact. The difference can be seen in the Facebook status longer. If in Twitter are rapidly changing, especially when using TweetDeck application.
We can not be influenced, moreover forcing the reader to open the link and read the contents. But, through status, we have told them over the loudspeaker, "Woi, I just finished writing, you know. This is the link .. "
In order for the reader interested in reading, writing title or status on Twitter it must be as attractive as possible. Use Toa alone is not enough if the information crisp.
Our voices echoed that there are more and more Twitter users re-alias mengicaukan retweet (RT) the chirp us. After that, let the viral power of the virtual world works. He will run itself according to the law he is maya. Thither without our control.
