RealtimeI had Twhirl, my Twitter client of choice, on my desktop, and immediately typed, “Did anyone else in Beijing just feel that earthquake?” The client refreshed “tweets” from others, and there were at least half a dozen comments before mine about the quake. Amazingly, I saw that there were people from Shanghai who’d felt it too.

My first instinct after that was to look at the U.S. Geological Survey website to see whether it had been reported yet. Clicking on “Outside of the U.S.” I saw a big red square on a map of Asia in what I could see was Sichuan Province, and it hadn’t been written up yet...

Busted. Nailed. Snagged. As many of you have figured out (maybe our speech was a little too funky fresh???), Peter isn't a real hip-hop maven and this site was actually developed by Sony.

Mapping the landscape

• Content What is being discussed/shared/shown/explored?

• Interaction How does the user engage? What do they do?

• Network How do users link to one another?

• Social benefit How much value does one user get from the participation of other users?

• Collective action How much do people work together?

Fruitful online encounters often combine:

“a successful fusion of a plausible promise, an effective tool and an acceptable bargain with the users.”

Page 107: The Art of the Internet
