How To Become A Werewolf In Real Life

Twitter, celebrities, politicians and journalists with respect

to a while ago, Twitter was a stronghold of geeks, nerds, and journalists technologized. We had a great!
Some rules had invented something that has them and many came to think that Twitter was.
But one of the most interesting things about Twitter that has no rules, except the 140 characters. You can not "teach" to use twitter, you can not, because twitter has no manuals.

Suddenly, that a while ago and we're here, we feel invaded. Continue reading


Thanks to believe that excessive public exposure by the actual use Twitter in this country has many famous people who previously had no twitter, decided it was important to have it. Clarify that does not include a todos. Manu Ginóbili hace rato que tiene cuenta y la usa mucho, muchos periodistas conocidos también la tienen hace mucho o hace poco.

El hecho, como podría pasar en un bar o en un boliche que de golpe se pone "de onda", es que a los viejos frecuentadores nos molesta. Pero lo vamos a tener que aceptar y aguantar un tiempo, y acostumbrarnos.

Respecto de las críticas a los famosos, tengamos en cuenta un par de cosas. Es humanamente imposible contestarle a 25 mil personas. No esperen que contesten. No critiquen que le contestan "sólo a los famosos": le contestan a la gente que conocen. Si les molesta que los famosos monologueen, sencillamente no los sigan.
Si quieren enterarse de lo que dicen, síganlos and accept their way to twitter. Everyone makes their twits what you want.

Depues is the journalistic use of Twitter, chatting it later. Later came

politicians and officials (this leads to a separate post, but goes by way of introduction). In many cases, their coming to social networks had to do with a well-intentioned and aimed idea that things happen here, we talk and they have to be. Most exceptions, do not use as social networks. Maybe I just have to give them time to learn and stop using them as virtual whiteboards where they make announcements and proclamations.

not speak of those political who have left their accounts in the hands of agents of the press ... these themselves do not understand anything. Perhaps, over time, understand how they can be used to interact with people in a relaxed manner and, paradoxically, more personal than when out walking the neighborhoods. For politicians, the exchange itself would be valuable.

Part I personally do not like is that some journalists, politicians and officials (I stress some, repeat some), started using Twitter for assaulted and insulted, not to share or discuss politely. I believe that both politicians and officials, and journalists have roles that include should LIABILITY make us much more careful in the way of expression.

journalists against journalists, politicians against politicians, government officials against journalists, journalists against politicians ... and often not in constructive dialogue or substantive discussions, but aggression and meanness crossings, protected by not having the other forward, face to face.

The issue is that so does the "common people" say. I have seen many free assaulting twitter politicians, journalists and / or famous. Simple assault, zero discussion.

Maybe that's the only thing Twitter has to be polished. That does not become a forum for grievances held by the cyber distance. We welcome discussions and voices.


But tratémonos with respect.

tratémonos Social networks are noisy (Look, someone read your twits)

Too much noise makes social networks. Thus, it appeared layoffs and locks for journalists on Twitter. This week, they drove to a CNN for a comment on Twitter. (For much the same, the UK will shut down the blog to its ambassador in Lebanon).

The tweet that left without work after 20 years Octavia Nasr, editor of the Atlanta-based CNN, was " is sad to know the death of Sayed Mohamed Hussein Fadlallah, a Hezbollah giants whom I respect a lot. "

The issue of the British Ambassador in Lebanon, Frances Guy, obviously politically different, but in his post only Fadlallah described the deceased as one of the figures with the most enjoyable found in Lebanon. " When I visited had a real debate asegurado.Dejabas their presence feeling better" , wrote the diplomat. Everyone can make value judgments you want about the Ayatollah. Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah was the leader of the religious Shiites in Lebanon and is considered the spiritual mentor of Hezbollah. In recent years, developed some liberal ideas, including aspects related to women's equality, but was openly critical stance toward the U.S. and always called for resistance against Israel.


The truth is that both women made their claims in their spaces of opinion, with your name and not on behalf of companies or countries they represented.

In May, a National Geographic editor in Brazil, Felipe Milanez, was fired for criticizing via Twitter also an article in the Brazilian magazine Veja.
Milanez wrote "Veja smell vomit more racist x Indians, now in Bolivia. As can be so cool after this century of the Holocaust? "After the magazine Veja a report entitled as" A farce gives nação Indian, "which criticized the Bolivian government and the country was branded as" false Indian nation ".

Cornald Maas, journalist and Dutch television, was fired by also be ironic in a tweet: " We are curious export products here in the Netherlands: Sieneke, Joran van der Sloot and the PVV.
Sieneke is a Dutch girl who won a competition in the channel that works Maas (ba) and represented the Netherlands at Eurovision. Van der Sloot is a young man, also Dutch-suspect in the disappearance of an American woman and the murder of another woman in Peru. The PVP is a far-right party, also clear-essentially Dutch anti-Islamist. Paradoxically, Sieneke said he was not offended by tweet ...

Several media have already made "recommendations" to the journalists on the use of social networks.
The Washington Post tells his reporters: " should renounce some of their privileges as private citizens " and prohibits "write or publish anything that might reflect bias or favoritism, racial, religious or sexual."

Reuters has just launched its "social media policy." It directly prohibits its journalists twittering firsts, asked to have a separate account for "personal issues" and that any twit journalist accompanied by the word "Reuters"

Globo Network prohibits journalists use social networks to discuss "issues related to the activities of the television, the media market and its regulatory framework" .

The BBC advises caution when retweet because " may seem that the journalist is to support the author's point of view."

The debate has to be, no doubt. It should be recalled in the midst of the debate that journalists are people who have ideas, humor and viewpoints that do not always have to agree with those of others.
