Comment on Help! I’m Being Impersonated on Twitter by Travis

I have become impersonated on twitter as of this morning and whoever is it really hates my guts or is a hater. I contacted the police who then contacted twitter but I’m still waiting for twitter to take the impersonators account down which may take a few days.

Another element is that Twitter has provided a pretty simple workaround to the regionalized censorship. I haven’t seen that reported on too much.

I think I’ll adopt your approach, though, Mat.

thank you Raul – if a blackout works for most users, so be it. Would love to see others advocate, mentor and support.

I’m not sure I agree with Zeynep nor your reading of her analysis, but what I can agree with is the following: by having an explicit censorship policy, Twitter is enabling activists to detect instances where government-led censorship efforts are happening. In doing so, Twitter becomes an even more powerful tool for activists’ mobilization, simply by design: what is censored in country A doesn’t necessarily get censored in country B, and if country B (where the tweet is arguably not censored) has a strong influence on country A, or even a coalition of countries have a strong influence on country A, then we have an easily designed pressure-transmission trajectory. What more do activists want? I’m not in favor of Blackout Twitter and I think it’s stupid too.

Comment on Storify Meets WordPress: A Perfect Marriage by Raul Pacheco (@hummingbird604)

So I totally hate to drop a link to a blog post of mine in a comment, but I think this post totally applies. You definitely highlighted how easy it is to integrate Storify with WordPress. The same way you did with curating the Liberal Party Convention I did with the tweets around my talk at WordCamp Victoria 2012. I can tell you that at least The Georgia Straight, The Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Metro and 24 Hours Vancouver are using Storify to curate tweets. It's working better than Cover It Live (which is a liveblogging platform). That said, I am a live-blogger and will always be, so for me, Storify only tells half the story. The other half is my liveblog, which I will always continue to do with Cover It Live.
