Social media in Indonesia: Eat, pray, tweet

Social media in Indonesia: Eat, pray, tweet

By HijabGirl on from www.economist.com

Indonesia is now the world’s second-largest market for Facebook and the third-largest for Twitter, according to several web research firms. For industry insiders, however, the most exciting statistic is not how many Indonesians use social media, but how many still don’t. Of 230m or so Indonesians, fewer than 20% are connected to the internet.

Foreign firms see untapped potential.
Octavia Nasr’s Twitter Disaster

Octavia Nasr’s Twitter Disaster

By SuhaibWebb on from www.suhaibwebb.com

“Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah. One of Hezbollah’s giants I respect.”

That was the execrable tweet that has been hung around Octavia Nasr’s neck like a slain Twitter albatross, as CNN wasted little time in sacking her.

Tweet-tweet, Mr. Iranian President, & other Fake Twitter Accounts

What if the outspoken, opinionated, rather infamous President of Iran spoke urban English and had a Twitter account? Would he be writing things such as, ‘“Enriching my uranium.” [Wink, wink] OR Although there are no homosexuals in Iran, Jake Gyllenhaal can be the Prince of my Persia anytime? The average Muslim would think not. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or should I say @M_Ahmadinejad, is just another hysterical victim of ’TwitterJacking‘ by culprits who are now common enough to be referred to by name: Phweeters (i.e. Phony Tweeters)
