Using Twitter as step one for actionable information from Print 09.

Information only has value when it leads to better decisions. Actionable information is about having the information at hand when a decision has to be made. Tweets are data points. Rich "dots" of information that have links to other data points.

Step One
find the interesting(2me) tweets. That's easy.

Step Two
follow the links as long as each click delivers interesting(2me). As soon as it doesn't or if it takes too long (2me) STOP and use the time to find more interesting(2me).

Step Three
Keep repeating until you run out of time. Then start up again when there is more time available.

Here's what I found was interesting(2me) in the time I wanted to spend. I'll go back some other time when I'm in the mood. When you have some relaxed time, you can do it yourself by going to Twitter School. The hashtag is #print09.
