Conversations Captured and Reused

Truffle Media Networks — Thu, 13 May 2010 01:44:08 +0000

Today's conversations in Twitter create streams of information flowing through and around many participants. The linkage between conversations can be made with a tag, key words, or the participants themselves.

But, after the party is over, there is not much left. Tweets are lost in the noise over time. The context of the conversations are broken up. The connections are fragmented.

Yes, you can search for bits and pieces of the conversations though Google. But the wholeness of the conversation must be pulled back together, a task that is more cumbersome as time moves on.

The ability to capture the conversations as they are happening (or soon there after) is one step toward keeping the pieces together.

Like a reporter or editor uses a note pad or word processor when they organize information on an event, digital tools are available to automatically pull tweets together in a usable form.

These digital publishing tools can also expand on the basic conversations by providing excerpts, summaries, and resource information. Like the stories and reports in the magazines and newspapers, the Twitter summaries themselves become part of the conversation, placed in the stream and yet still available over time outside the stream.

The published snippets provide historical context. They add value to the conversation because they readily provide extracted information and links.

They also remain available as a whole over time for others to discover and use.

Re-discovery of the conversations can help extend future discussions and provide reflection on the issues.

What is being said on social media? Food, Inc. discussion on #agchat

Truffle Media Networks — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:40:30 +0000

What is being said on social media in agriculture? Earlier this week (June 23) during the #agchat discussion on Twitter, a group of about 100 people contributed about 1200 posts in a discussion of the Food, Inc. movie. About 30 people provided at least 10 Twitter posts or more.

To learn more, check out the #AgChat Facebook group and to participate, #agchat occurs every Tuesday from 8pm to 10pm Eastern time.

The following are the questions and a sample of the responses and a full transcript here.

Q1: IF (& only if) you have seen Food, Inc., please share your perspective. What did you specifically see as accurate or inaccurate?

JeffFowle: Q1 Antibiotic discussion may have accurate numbers, but was distorted. No trend of use, or breakdown of raw numbers.
agchick: Q1 Film had excellent production quality. Effectively dodges the "whack job" label by artfully coming across as middle of the road.
JeffFowle: Q1 Failed to offer a positive solution that would result in being able to feed the world population.

Q2: What feelings did the preview/trailer or last week's #foodinc chat give you relative to #ag & #food production? Why?

Fastline: Q2. the fact that the movie is trying to portray that farmers have something to hide and don't want to talk... so untrue
AgWiredLive: Q2: #foodinc showed me how irrational people who say they hate big ag are and how willing ag people are to try to communicate.
shaunhaney: Q2 I did not like the accusation that farms are owned and told what to do by large multinationals.

Q3: For those in support #foodinc, do you believe the facts in the movie or the general premise? Please elaborate.

LAFarmGirl: Q3, the principal that a few large corp. run big ag. is the same as in other biz, look at banking and & car industry, US has changed
pamelasweeten: Q3 But is isn't all about large ag, there are lots of small farms still.
meredithmo: Q3 As I said, I support it as a conversation-starter. I don't believe in taking anything you see at face-value. That said...
meredithmo: Q3 ...there's a lot of important info. Seeing how the "sausage is made" so to speak in food processing plants, for instance.
Jambutter: Q3: Haven't seen #FoodInc, but read Fast Food Nation & Pollan books. All were solid, investigative books that made me think...a lot!

Q4: Given movie agenda & broader dist. of its msg., what could be used to address the movie facts or misinformation.

shadysidefarm: Q4 #agchat A simple thing is to address misconceptions as they come up, as I did on fur thread today on etsy. "Shearing doesn't hurt sheep."
agchick: Q4 Difficult ? I think moderate audience is open 2 listening to farmer stories. Perhaps we shud focus on that group, triage the msg?
cowartandmore: Q4 I think the correct message will come best from the farmers. Has any group taken (or willing to take) this project on?
AgWiredLive: Q4: Who has budget similar to #foodinc for any type of public information campaign? Like alternative documentary?

Q5: #foodinc says farmers don't want to tell their story. How can you tell #ag story in 140 char. or less?

RayLinDairy: Q5 Not sure but been trying!
agchick: Q5 I've been using twitpic to load farm photos. Seems to go over well. Linking oppy's prob the most valuable
RayLinDairy: Q5 w/ Twitter Search looking for certain terms to address misconceptions & using Twitter 2 push 2 blogs or links
Fastline: Q5. We have done some profiles of farmers, looking to do more.
whitwallace: Q5: Can't tell WHOLE story, but can definitely use140 characters to DRIVE traffic to bigger picture of ag story. Ex: #agfact Tues.
