Tweet of the week

This week's tweet of the week is from @danlank:

Christian fundamentals: 1) Love God 2) Love your neighbour. What happened in Norway has nothing to do with Christian fundamentals.

What happened in Norway this week was awful. It should not have happened. The suggestion that the man who commited those crimes was doing so becuase of Christian beliefs is worrysome too. Jesus is the centre of the faith, and there is nothing in the way he lived his life that could lead to the idea that bombing and shooting people was a good thing to do.

Twitter users of the week

This week's user of the week is: @xboxsupport who are the Guinness World Record Holder for Most Responsive Brand on Twitter and it shows. Many times I've seen people I follow mention their Xbox situations, and @xboxsupport always replies really quickly. Well done to them for leading the way when it comes to Twitter communications from a brand.

I see they use a tool called TweetRiver to coordinate their efforts, but apps such as TweetDeck with their instant updates and custom searches could also be useful if you wanted to track what people are saying about your brand. What Twitter tools do you use and what for? Please let me know in the comments.

Yesterday my wife and I (along with around half a million other people) attended the March for the Alternative, organised on Twitter via the @march26march account.

It was a great day and we didn't see any of the violence that unfortunately broke out after the main peaceful march had concluded.

As you can see from my photos, people from many different services and sections of society came together to make their voices heard.

It is just a shame A) violent people turned up to spoil the party and B) the government has said it will ignore this march and what it stood for.

Have you ever gone on a protest march? What for, and did it make any difference?
