How to create your own Twitter infographic

Infographics are increasingly becoming one of the best ways of sharing a story, study or chunk of information in a visually attractive way. Sites like Mashable often feature and create infographics based on the latest tech stories, and links to infographics tend to spread around Twitter like wildfire.

Inographics are also a great promotional tool. Create one in your area of expertise, add your business logo and link to the bottom, and you can expect to see plenty more traffic coming your way as a result. Particularly if it gets picked up by one of the big sites.

Twitter, injunctions and the fine art of misdirection

 

 

 

So, by now, we all know the name of the footballer who allegedly had an affair with a model. Right? Proof positive that injunctions are now useless, the story is now in the public domain and that Twitter rules. Hurray, it’s the dawn of a new era!

Except it’s not quite that simple. Yes, the papers now feel confident in printing that he took out an injunction against the story being published, but they still can’t print the story they want to – otherwise The Sun would have a lot more to say than “It’s Ryan Giggs” today.

Send a sweet tweet this Christmas and you could warm more than just a few hearts. A new charity campaign, Twitter Knitter, aims to take the tweets of those that use the hashtag #warmupcamden, and feature them on a wool scarf. These scarves are then given to the cold and needy around Camden, to keep them warmer during a time when most of us are tucked up inside with a roast dinner and a glass of mulled wine.

Useful and Fun Twitter Bots!

A guest post by @annsmarty

Twitter bots are non-human Twitter users (I know it sounds like non-fiction!) that perform some automated action. While there are tons of spammy Twitter accounts (actually, almost one-third of Twitter users are not “real” people or zombies), there are a few really cool and useful ones!

Basically, all Twitter bots can be divided into two large groups:

  • Auto-streaming bots (those that automatically post public Twitter updates based on some criteria. A good example is an RT Twitter bot that collects and streamlines Tweets based on a hashtag or a search term);

What would YOU tell your 16 year old self?

Could you imagine going back in time? Could you imagine talking to your 16 year old self and giving them advice?

As you can see from the snippet here, the advice is fascinating!

@Quennessa gosh, I feel for her. I wonder what the story with that is?

@ISaidDont ‘s RT of @belly187 made me smirk. That can’t be real. Can it?

Hair cuts, diaries and love advice are all things we share with our 16 year old selves.
