Given that my last few posts have been Twitter-related, it seems important to pay some attention to what Twitter does and what, precisely a Tweet is. Raffi Krikorian, a developer on Twitter's API/Platform team has put together a map that shows the way information is embedded in each individual Tweet (or Twitter Status Object as he calls it). Maps like this one point to the data-rich documentation associated with what may seem like simple information practices. If, indeed, the Library of Congress gets all of this information, how will it be mined and analyzed in a way that can tell us something about ourselves?
