For me the benefit of Twitter is access to its social graph. I still don't personally see the benefit of Twitter as a communication channel. It is amazing for mining connections between people. In this respect I've found it an invaluable resource.
- themartorana 12y agoIt definitely shines as an ad-hoc organizational tool - from it's original coming-out party at SXSW where we all found a new way of figuring out where the best (or shortest lines for) parties were, to massive protests in the Middle East and beyond. The days of caring about every person's every move may be waning, but I don't see Twitter becoming less relevant. Its original Big Bang of instant information dissemination for large loosely organized groups is still hugely important. Or so it seems to me.
- walterbell 12y ago> It is amazing for mining connections between people What do you use for mining Twitter's interest/social graph?
- ducuboy 12y agoI'm working on a platform that leverages exactly that. Here I'm just showing the problem of Twitter getting mainstream and pushing what's popular on us: https://github.com/ducu/twitter-most-followed https://github.com/ducu/twitter-most-followed We need an automatic tool that filters out the noise by figuring out the interest graph for each user individually. I plan to use Twitter for that.
