I was fortunate enough to catch Duncan Watts' speech at ICWSM this year. I've taken a few notes on his presentation.

I attended the International Conference for Web and Social Media (ICWSM) this year. I was left with a few lasting impressions, and some exciting papers to read.

After attending ICWSM this year, and talking to some folks from Digg, I got interested in comparing Digg to Twitter. The question that I wanted to answer was: Has Twitter made Digg obsolete?

Lately, I've gotten interested in the Twitter stream. Last weekend, I hooked up a desktop to download the stream for about ten hours on Friday. I did two main things. First, I just took a look at the data, and what it has in it. Then, I applied TF-IDF to my personal tweets in an effort to see if I could find new tweets based on my tweet stream.
