Sintetia Use Twitter as a filter for information
Antoni Gutiérrez-Rubi said recently at Sintetia that "social networks are the public squares of the century". Specifically, Twitter is one of the most important tools in our instant communication, especially for fans of the conversation and the exchange of information and for those who appreciate being able to follow people with interesting things to say. Twitter has generated such power of social media being used as a means of instant communication with many faces: from the call-sufficient public lo hoi rallies examples of # 15M or Arab Spring, to obtain information and real opinion. In fact it is almost a mantra the saying that tomorrow's paper will have conversations and information we read today on Twitter.
A journalist worth it increasingly worth your Twitter followers, your ability to report online, lo hoi to hear and anticipate trends, which is opening up new channels of communication and interaction. Never before been possible possible to know what he thought, read or criticized, for instance, a professor at Harvard lo hoi or the Pompeu Fabra.
But this immediacy lo hoi also generates costs. The key is to manage lo hoi the information that you submitted lo hoi every day, minute by minute. A question therefore is how to how much relevant information I am willing to expose myself on Twitter without "intoxicarme"?
This same thought is born of a conversation on Twitter with a follower of our own which (correctly) advised us not to make many retweets of the entries we receive our posts. Properly, this person was complaining about overexposure to certain information. Twitter's philosophy lo hoi supposed to follow certain accounts because you like your information, but then reality brings restrictions, and as your attention span to the wall of Twitter is limited, at the end we run the risk of overloading our timeline valuable information not ( perhaps repeated) of our fans.
From this came the following reflection. It would be wonderful if someone leaked the information, right? When we walked into Twitter started following a few people, but after a small barrier to entry adapting the format, we begin to understand the tradeoff offered by this platform: lo hoi the more people I follow, lo hoi more interesting information I can get, but I saturate . As the benefit of the information received comes before saturation for the same (by definition), many we started to go to multiple accounts.
Nobody is able to always lo hoi offer the most relevant information. The perfect score is the one who tweets interesting information, but because we are not related all with all, only a percentage of what will interest tweeted every follower. Follower is up whether out of all the information we offer is a good information percentage that exceeds its saturation threshold. If so, decide to stay following the account, lo hoi but it will ...
Twitter itself. We followed hundreds if not thousands of people, and on the wall are about 20 publications (default). In our case, we are about 1,000 accounts. If each has published a tweet every time (in average) that gives me 24,000 tweets a day. Let's be conservative and say that the probability of overlap between tweets is 20% (possibly more, because lo hoi not all publish evenly throughout the day, but we usually concentrate our activities on Twitter at certain times). That is, adding multiple accounts simultaneously published more than 20 tweets at the same moment of time, and that is Twitter who have to choose which tweets put on my wall. In this example, we are losing about 4,800 tweets a day that "do not see" because they do not fit on Twitter.
Clearly, Twitter tweets selects important for us automatically. The commands, and publishes, but I can not see all at once. But my question is do you know Twitter choose for us?
Even according to the account of the Wall Street Journal, as you can imagine very interesting for an economist, there are many tweets that I posted too many (I saturate). However, there are other accounts that I follow, that appear very little in my wall, I guess because they have a lower activity, and in case of overlap Twitter relegates below on my wall. A wonderful and easy way to have the best information possible, according to my preferences-account lo hoi Wall Street Journal retweets would be seeing any of my followers (which I have chosen as my preference) makes this particular account. This would be very simple, if there is a wall that I see only my followers retweets doing the accounts that I ta
