Say, for example, you wanted to know: who is actually using Erlang (the new hotness among the developer cognoscenti, a programming language designed for concurrent processor architectures, based on message passing, enabling powerful pattern matching capabilities, invented at Ericcson for network use) in production? Well you could ask RedMonk or…<\/p>\n
head over to

So we know Jens Ohlig<\/a> is the guy. In other words not only do we now know someone using Erlang in anger, but we can… talk to him.

Any marketer or community manager should find it easy enough to head to tweetscan and find people talking about their customers and competitors. <\/p>\n The information is out there, about what people are doing, saying, and using. Its ours to harvest. The title of this blog is a tongue in cheek hopefully, because the fact is tools like tweetscan make us far more powerful, extending our reach, allowing us into new conversations, making us smarter, and allowing us to test ideas in near real time. A database of conversations. A database of intentions. Its all coming together. 2008 is going to rock.<\/p>\n blog family tree (via): David left a comment on a Rafe Needleman How To Use Twitter<\/a> post.
