The You, the Me, and the We – How I’m Changing How I Use Twitter | Stay N' Alive (Jesse Stay)

This got me thinking about how I can build stronger relationships with the people I follow.  How do I get people to add me to their whitelist?  How can I get to know you better, and how can I get you to know me better at the same time? Twitter is very difficult to nurture this type of relationship – it was built as a broadcasting platform that happened to evolve to become a communications and is trying to be a relationships platform.  It also degraded to the point that most of the people that follow you now aren’t even real people! I would venture to say that a good portion (1/4th?) of Twitter’s populace are there with the sole intent to gain a larger follower base.

Good snapshot of Twitter right now and the way many of us are considering this most ubiquitous tool.

Poem for a spring morning by Judith Wright

Lyrebirds by Judith Wright Over the west side of the mountain,
that’s lyrebird country.
I could go down there, they say, in the early morning,
and I’d see them, I’d hear them.

Ten years, and I have never gone.
I’ll never go.
I’ll never see the lyrebirds -
the few, the shy, the fabulous,
the dying poets. I should see them, if I lay there in the dew:
first a single movement
like a waterdrop falling, then stillness,
then a brown head, brown eyes,
a splendid bird, bearing
like a crest the symbol of his art,
the high symmetrical shape of the perfect lyre.
I should hear that master practising his art.

No, I have never gone.
Some things ought to be left secret, alone;
some things – birds like walking fables –
ought to inhabit nowhere but the reverence of the
heart.

“ This is all the more reason that we must use what public funds we do have in the most useful way. We have to support the experimental, the risk-taking and the innovative and quit measuring the success of subsidised theatres by their marketing strategies and ability to raise matching funds or audience development (millions have been spent on this with little success, as the recent Theatre Assessment demonstrated). Instead, we must return to a time when a theatre’s success was measured by what it puts on its stages and how well it does it, and by the relationships it makes and how often it says “yes, please do come in and use our empty foyers and desolate corridors” to the local community and local artists „
Does commercially successful theatre represent artistic failure? (via feedly)
