Background

• If you're new to the #p2 wiki, please check out our Getting Started page. If you're relatively new to using Twitter for activism, we've got some resources and links here. The links on the wiki's home page describe our history.

• Our most recent tweetings:
• May 14: Summary here, notes here ... the full log and participation analysis are interesting too.
  
• April 30. Summary and notes here. Discussions continued after the tweeting, starting with comment #60 here, comment #8 here, and the entire thread here.

• If you're interested in Twitter activism, Building engaged communities that act and Cognitive evolution and revolution are two good places to start. Clay Shirky's A group is its own worst enemy is great background about online communities and social software.
