译文:

继LinkedIn和Facebook之后,又出现了Twitter。当完成创建帐户这个短流程后,你可以开始写最多140个字符的一个类似“邮件”。 Twitter是一个微博客平台。它是类似于一种博客和聊天平台。您可以讨论一个话题,人们可以回答您的那些问题。如果您对一个人的话题感兴趣,你可以参与他的讨论。如此,您会发现所有他参与讨论的的人和参与他的话题讨论的人。当然你也可以连接所有这些人。

在这个阶段,你可能会问自己两个问题。第一个问题:为什么你要使用Twitter?从专业的角度来看,你可以建立一个人在你的领域的一个人际关系网络。您还可以知道在一个特定的域发生了什么事。这种论坛的动态和传播速度远远超过了简讯。
第二个问题:必须少于140个字符,你可以写什么呢?您可以分享一个有趣的文章,重点推荐一个网站,点到博客后,你可以推荐一本你刚才所读的一本很好的书,可以讨论的一些新闻和其他许多东西。事实上,当我想分享的东西不值得整个方导我的博客里的时我就使用Twitter。
如果你想尝试一下Twitter,这里是一个Twitter上的数据挖掘列表。我刚才也适当提到自己的博客或公司:

另外,不要忘记,你可以看到下面的和每个人的追随者。这里是一个不错的博客在Twitter更多的技巧。如果你是一个数据矿工,如果你使用Twitter,随时添加评论这篇文章,提到您的用户名。

原文:

After the LinkedIn and Facebook phenomena, here comes Twitter. When the short process of account creation is done, you can start writing small “posts” of maximum 140 characters. Twitter is a kind of micro-blogging platform. It is somehow between the blog and the chat. You can discuss a topic, and people can answer to your tweets. If you like someone’s topics, you can follow him. You will then discover all the people he follows and the ones following him. You can of course then connect with all these people.

At this stage you may ask yourself two questions. First question: why would you use Twitter? From a professional point of view, you can build a network of people in your field. You will also be aware of what happens in a particular domain. This is much more dynamic than a forum and it spreads faster than a newsletter.

Second question: what can you write in less than 140 characters? You can share an interesting article, highlight a website, point to a blog post, mention a nice book you have just read, some news you want to discuss about and many other things. In fact I use Twitter when I want to share something that would not deserve a whole post on my blog.

If you want to give Twitter a try, here is a list of data miners on Twitter. I have also mentioned their blog or company when available:

Also, don’t forget that you can see the following and followers of everyone. Here is a nice blog for more tips on Twitter. If you are a data miner and if you use Twitter, feel free to add a comment to this post and mention your user name.
