Kate StarbirdWondering if anyone has coined the term, Birdchan, yet for the future of Twitter? It slipped out in a conversation yesterday with some university comms folks who are trying to figure out what their social media strategies should be going forward.
Dr. Donna K. Kidwell@katestarbird birdchan is very good, captures so much of the tone of what's happening. What if future social media embraced federated University models, where our researchers, alumni, athletics etc. could all flock together while also participating in other social communities?
AnnRichards@drdonnakidwell @katestarbird I've seen people say this wouldn't work for government accounts to make them accessible to the people like they were on Twitter, but why couldn't it have its own server(s). Am I missing something?
@AnnRichards @katestarbird seems like it might work really well, especially if you could affiliate with an institution more akin to an 'appointment'.
