It used to be that if a link was worth sharing, people would bookmark it for all to see on del.icio.us. Now, they just Twitter it (with a shortened URL). Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to separate out all the Tweets with links in them, and sort them by time or popularity? That is what MicroPlaza does in a nutshell.

MicroPlaza provides you with a personalized memetracker based on the links that your friends share on Twitter. While we have seen a fair number of Twitter memetrackers, none of them feature the degree of personalization that MicroPlaza offers. If you follow a very diverse set of people on Twitter, you can also track micro-communities thanks to MicroPlaza’s ‘Tribes’ feature, which lets you organize users into different groups. MicroPlaza is currently in private beta testing, but you can get a glimpse of its non-personalized features on its home page.

“I’ve had a chance to be one of the early users of MicroPlaza and have come away very impressed. The site maps all links shared by the people you follow on Twitter and displays them by popularity (the number of times they have been retweeted) or by date in a Techeme-style link + sources view. MicroPlaza is great for a few reasons.” by Josh Catone

“To me, Twitter is fast becoming my personal submarine and periscope to the ocean of the World Wide Web, the personal areas I want to go to defined by my relationships to people and ideas. It doesn’t mean that I don’t use the rest of the web: Twitter is an adjunct to the web, a very important adjunct, but an adjunct nevertheless. The way I use Twitter teaches me something, something about the way things may be going.”

This phenomenon is called microsharing and it refers to the act of individuals sharing pieces of content with others in a group who have similar interests or needs. Some common activities today that would constitute microsharing range from saving a link on del.icio.us to posting an interesting story or video on Digg. Tagging an existing piece of content or using a “send to a friend form” are also examples of this. The most interesting thing is that as the volume of content continues to increase, more and more people rely on this microsharing to get the information they need. It is the new editorial model, and the editor is each of us.

I am a big fan of social bookmarking. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t add to my huge collection on Delicious. But recently my online research is not just for blogging but for academic papers. So I have taken a look at three great free tools for social bookmarking that will let me register a wide range of bibliographic information.

Your boss thinks you “play on Facebook,” all day. Your co-worker who is jonesing for the same promotion is monitoring the time of day you post to Twitter. The guy from across the hall sips black coffee through his brown teeth and laughs, “Met the man of your dreams on Ebay, yet?”
Take it from someone who knows. It’s not easy being the social media champion in the building. If very few people in the business world understand social media, it’s only logical very few at your place of work would, too. So how do you help make them understand social media isn’t just about posting personal journals on MySpace or blowing 30 minute chunks of your day watching the skateboarding dog on YouTube?
