Plagiarism Today Now on Twitter

By Jonathan Bailey • Aug 27th, 2007 • Category: Articles, Housekeeping

Over the past year or so, I’ve resisted the micro blogging movement because, quite frankly, I didn’t see much use for it. However, after watching several people I know use Twitter and other services to great avail, I’ve decided to conduct something of an experiment to see if Twitter can help me with my work here.

With that in mind, I’ve created a new Twitter account, username plagiarismtoday, and have started to set things up. I have not added the links to the navigation of this site nor any integration tools though both are in the works. I’ve also only posted one tweet so far. But if anyone is interested in helping me get a head start there, feel free to add me.

I’d love to hear from you and I look forward to seeing what suggestions and thoughts others on the site come up with!

  • I think the people who created twitter.com are twits. LoL get?

    Anyway, Twitter looks like a cheap ripoff of stickam. Hey John, I have a better idea,why not sign up to stickam.com and talk to people about plagiarism and copyright issues live.
  • I suppose there are people who wonder how modern civilisation managed to advance to the point we are today without Twitter, but I bet they're outnumbered about a billion to one.

    Mr. J:

    I'll consider it, I am looking into doing some vidcasts. But really I don't know how much interest I have in being in front of the camera.

    Letters:

    I don't really think there's anything magical about Twitter, but I do see it as a new means of communicating. Plus, as someone who follows content theft issues closely, I need to be up to speed on the latest tools. If the experiment fails, it fails and that will be that. If it succeeds, then I'll have a new tool to add to my arsenal.

    I see it is a low-risk, high potential reward situation.
