Well socialware is shifting from a buzzword to really good implementation that help in develop and know faster what is going on right now.I would like to write this post, to show how I'm using twitter and why I think twitter is a good social interaction tool.
Twitter enables users to configure a Gmail account which receive twitter messages from their friendship. This could be considered as another gateway of the flooding information, where people is still a passive victim of what is going on.
The twitter bot can be instructed and if you there are custom messages that instruct the twitter bot:
- with on you are asking of being flooded about messages;
- with off your are asking to shut up.
But, how can I gain benefits from the public twitter time line?
Twitter bot allows to track something on the time line and to grab it in your gmail jabber account. In this way, if you want to start learning what's going on in a specific topic just issue
track specific topic
And the twitter bot is instructed about it and you start receiving a flood of information that contains the specific topic and when a user around the world is citing a specific topic, you will receive notification about it without being friend.
This is a really powerful mechanism I use to learn what is going on, and to have it notified on a client application like iChat or other instant messaging client. I read fast the topic notified, and I chose those topics with goods links.
If you want to learn about fashion, or thinking about a gift just instruct your bot:
track fashion
track gift
And coming back just issue untrack keyword to stop receiving notification from the network.
To configure your bot you need:
- a Google talk account following the Google site
- a twitter account configured to deliver to your Google account in the device section of your account settings
Now you can setup a client and start enjoying what's on your wave!
