I like Twitter though when I first saw Twitter I thought it was sort of silly. I have to explain Twitter to some folks in my company this week and was looking for a good explanation. This video’s a pretty good description. Does anyone else have any good Twitter resources?
The Pulse of Open Source is the stream of collective consciousness of the open source community on Twitter. The Pulse of Open Source was inspired by and based upon the code for Pulse of PDX. The site is managed / operated by Raven Zachary and developed / hosted by Michael Richardson (thank you, Michael!).
