Web Laureate Insight, "Twitter: Paragliding Whales"

Today’s Web Laureate Insight to last Tuesday’s poem…

Twitter: Paragliding Whales

BUzz

is in the air after the recent announcement from twitter investor fred wilson and his warning to stop wasting time filling the vast ‘holes’ of twitter. it was not long until the warnings became real to many, for example, the purchase of popular twitter clients for blackberry and iphone – chirp.

buZZ

was the resonance found by many caught in unexpecting, unsuspecting states, those did not expect to ‘be pressed’.. one who was ceo founder of seesmic. i and others too feel that ‘the unconstrained’ creative people, forced to think outside the box, will in the end be better, by not focusing merely on the many many many shortcomings of twitter

will the next hole to be filled be that which bit.ly now fills? what would be their best move?

Twitter: Paragliding Whales

there is no danger
like that of a paragliding whale
with heft buoyed
by the ingenuity of those prior
for once that which is imminently pressing
be pressed
no hole shall remain unfilled

yet
if there can be
one thing learned
from those that subvert
gravity’s will
is that it be of
far better planned goals
place to be among
the unconstrained
than deep within those holes

Web Laureate Insight, "Twitter: Oh Twitter!"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Thursday’s poem…

Twitter: Oh Twitter!

simply

simplicity in spirit, and intended to ooze the frivolously fun that twitter can be

at the time of the writing of this poem … and often discussed and argued to this day … is the necessity of a business model for twitter — so with fun throughout, the question remains, is it too much fun and not enough focus on the sustainable generation of a dollar or 2 (probably more to be sustainable :D)

perfection!

if you add up all the characters you will see that this poem is also a PERFECT TWEET, 140 characters

Twitter & Facebook: introductions are not necessary

introductions are not necessary.
of what I mean, was meant.
by the things together taken,
from tweets, updates of like.

a full of fear of, itty piggzies,
least at, their cute sneezies.
undone, not to been be,
by success, sci fi, fantasy.

as now these trends reveal,
all together different,
from one to another,
and simultaneously,
between those,
of both and either,
connected more,
the future brings,
where –
introductions,
be and
are,
most completely
not ,
forgotten and un-
necessary!

[Twitter & Air] Thanksgiving on Pandora

from all around the net,
from across the many ocean,
on this day of fowl,
people tweet and say,
for what they are thankful for,
as with family they gather, play.

yet, sight should not be lost,
of across greater beyond,
far world in bunch of air,
many would wager, as do I,
a supposition of more thanks,
as comes december, and the blue guy.

Don’t Recycle!

In honor of
Earth Day we
Advocate, say
Let those can
Be re-used and recycled

Such so as
The thoughts
Ideas, concepts
Of more, on
Picture
Video
From and to
Bookmarking
URL shortening
Twitter mashing
Social net apping
Flim-flam flapping

Lest our brash call
Be too much
Overpushed
On thought
Second arrived
When it comes to
Saving the Earth
Just maybe
There should be
Those best not
Recycled.

over here

Over here!
Over here!
I am over-over here.
Been chatting,
Both far and near.

The group
Keeps on growing,
The area is showing,
The pics,
The heads,
Of people
Crowding
’round me.

United —
To a point —
From afar —
Facebook,
Myspace,
Hi5,
Orkut,
And more.

Over here,
From a tweet,
To somewhere,
On the Earth,
I am here,
To share,
And to gather.

With friends,
New and old,
Throughout,
The social world,

We vote,
And we share,
From most everywhere,
And especially,
Most notably,
From here.

Dizzy

Around, around,
I twhirl, twhirl, twhirl,
Changes keep coming,
I hop and I dance and spring,
Between one and another,
To another more,

I twhirl around, twhirl around,
Happily hoping to keep pace,
Reaching out to my friends,
On Twitter, on seesmic,
On Friendfeed and —
All around twisting,

Twisting, twisting, twisting,
Changing and upgrading,
Faster the images and pictures and comments,
All zipping and whooshing by,
My happy little fingers flitting,
Round and round,

Twhirlling and whirling,
Excitedly chatting and sharing and seeing,
Straining to listen, now identi.ca,
Soon new UI,
Blurring is the whirling,
The twhirl, twhirl, twhirl twhirling.
