Twitter is performance conversation

It's not all or nothing. You decide what information is seen

Internet is a cruel mistress, when everybody's special nobody's special

Just because u can reach everyone doesn't mean you will

Numbers are irrelevant, quality is important

Bham Social Media scene - isn't really one now, was one few years back. All about corridors and connecting people. Tap into community that has your interests. Don't go where everyone else is going

Be interested, mark your territory. People who are interested are interesting

Narratives of Twitter - different character's in different social media environments eg blog, twitter etc - grumpy blog, work blog, life tweets. Storytelling of life-definately occurs to blogs

If u want to get noticed by someone, talk about them! Broad way of keeping in touch with people. Twitter let's you do the small talk beforehand

Twitter Etiquete - social norms - everyone's is different. First of all u lurk then u get involved. Lots of overlapping communities where people relate to each other and build their own rules. Think of social media as part of the whole package - it's not a special magic scary thing

Why keep blogging - it's fun and I tapped into a community. Events from community lead to work e.g from Flickr. If you want to create a carrier out of internet u have to b at forefront of social media. Need to have a gimmick really. It's a level playing field. Digital Economy Bill may limit blogging in future. All this piracy moral panic may ruin it
