Twitter est, outre un lieu d'échanges
souvent riches ainsi qu’ un thermomètre des préoccupations professionnelles … Twitter,
disais-je, est un véritable outil de veille, à condition de connaître et de
savoir utiliser les nombreux outils qui lui sont associés : Outils Froids
l'explique très bien dans sa série "La veille avec Twitter" (1, 2, 3, 4).

Twitter as an opinion tool - as used
to follow the US election Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Just as organisations
are beginning to listen to the conversations about them on forums, in blogs and
in online newspaper comments, Twitter has become a powerful and important
mechanism for tracking US public opinion during the US Presidential election.
In a custom-built application, Twitter has used its search and trending tools
to build an updating commentary on the election, visible at
http://election.twitter.com.
Thinking back to the days of tickertape news releases and stock updates, this
is a high-tech equivalent reflecting the views of US Twitter users.
With the integration of a mention weighting system and positive/negative
indications,it would be possible for any politician or organisation to get a
24/7 view of their public sentiment.
Any sudden changes in the normal flow of comments could then be mined to detect
and pre-emptively prepare for issues before they reach the broader media.
For the sceptics, who do not see Twitter as a valid channel for government
communication with the public or media, here's a list of US government 'A-list' Twitterers, including the White House, Senator Obama and a
selection of State Governors and large US agencies.
And for those who like poetry and the big picture, 3D Twittervision
provides an interesting global insight - particularly during major crises.
