First, a disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer and don’t pretend to play one on this blog, or in any other venue of commentary.
With that out of the way … what if retweets are an infringement of US copyright law?
That fascinating prospect was raised by attorney Glenn Manishin (@GlennM) during the “Public Policy & Law” panel [...]

Boston.com and the Boston Globe have started several Twitter feeds, including one each for sports columnists Tony Massarotti (@GlobeMazz) and Chad Finn (@GlobeChadFinn).
It’s a step in the right direction, certainly, but I think Chad and Mazz could be doing more with their individual Twitter accounts. Here’s my friendly advice for them.

Still haven’t drunk the Twitter kool-aid yet, and wondering just what the heck you should tweet about (It’s a question I hear often )?
Here are some tips that I shared by e-mail with a colleague today. The bulleted items beneath each subhead are theoretical tweets (some exceptions noted), and not necessarily posts I’ve read or [...]

Now here’s an impressive use of Twitter by the Austin Statesman. The publication is aggregating tweets about tonight’s Texas-Missouri game (for the record, UT entered the game as the No. 1 team in the nation and leads No. 11 Mizzou, 42-17, as I get set to publish this post). It’s combining all #UT posts from [...]

Interesting recommendation by Chris Brogan yesterday on the right way to limit the number of Twitter posts that link to your own content:
Post the occasional tweet about a particularly good blog post to Twitter. Do this at a rate of about 1:12, meaning one post about your stuff to any 12 tweets about other people’s [...]

… that’s my first hit on the new election.twitter.com subsite that Twitter has rolled out today, too.
Twitter is filtering out posts by name of the presidential and VP candidates, as well tracking “hot election topics.” New posts on each page display in AJAX style, too, meaning there’s no need to do a manual refresh.
Impressive.
Election.twitter.com will [...]

This conversation with Chris Brogan is the third in a series of interview posts leading up to next week’s Enterprise 2.0 Conference, being held at the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel.
(Here are the previous interviews, with Alicia Staley and Keri Pearlson/Susan Scrupski.)

Chris is a blogger extraordinaire at ChrisBrogan.com, co-founder of the PodCamp unconference series, and the [...]

A few weeks ago, Tech Crunch’s Michael Arrington blogged about a phone call he received from a Comcast executive, just 20 minutes after “tearing into [the company] on Twitter” over his extended Internet outage.
Probably not a coincidence, right?
And as it turns out, the cable company/Internet service provider is routinely following and responding to complaints and [...]

It’s times like right now, when Twitter is once again struggling with absurdly bad performance issues and showing me posts from Neville Hobson (or @Jangles) on Twitter) wishing all his followers a “happy Sunday morning” — when it’s actually a little after midnight on Tuesday morning — on my most “recent” page of tweets [...]

As I mentioned in a blog post a couple of weeks ago, Twittering about the Boston Red Sox was a big part of my initiation into the microblogging world in 2007. But until yesterday, the Twitterer whose Red Sox Tweets I saw before anyone else’s, last April — @RedSoxCast — remained more or less a [...]
