Twitter allegiance

December 24, 2008

In the spirit of passing time at Christmas, and following on from a heated discussion about the meaning and robustness of community in online environments, I invited 100 of my 1,276 current Twitter followers to fill in a quick survey cunningly designed to provide a fairly wonky measure of community allegiance.

Can we ever keep the 'personal' separate from 'professional' when tools and services mash-up our online identities in ways that are beyond our control? The Rhizome project, funded by Eduserv, is ...
