Green Day
Spring is here and it’s time to start thinking about planting stuff outside. Whether it’s a vegetable garden, a new tree in the yard or tending to the flower box in the window nothing says spring like live plants.
It’s also almost time for the NBA playoffs and while we’re talking about things that are green…how about them Celtics? Way better than the Nicks right? Take that @AJV! I had to bust AJ Vaynerchuk‘s chops a little bit because he kind of dissed Boston in a video at SXSW. Now he wasn’t too inflammatory but still come on…this is our house. 
Huh…That IS cool
I also spent a little time reflecting on a little “huh” moment I had today. It’s always weird when you notice something special about your own product that you hadn’t really paid much attention to before. When was the last time someone replied to a Twitter post of yours that was more than a day old? Probably never right?
Well, on Tweetworks it’s not uncommon for a great thread that was started over a month ago to continue to have life. This is because popular threads tend to stay at the top in a group. People come to the group see something cool and jump in. Since we keep the thread with the most recent activity on top some conversations just keep on going. Like this one by Amy Langford in the Movies where she asks “What’s your stick movie?“

Tweetworks TV Episode 18 – Green Groups

Despite the down economy, the green movement is still very much alive and the groups profiled by Mike Langford in episode 18 are a testament to the excitement in the air about making the world a better place.
Special thanks to @Alexa for prompting the idea to profile the green group in this episode.
Mike also answers a community question submitted by Sean “Just Sean” who asked “How exactly are you planning to get more active users?” Sean noticed that the group activity is relatively slow on Tweetworks. This is natural for a site that is only 3 months old and still developing it’s feature set. But there are a few things the user can do to help increase activity in his favorite groups and Mike takes you through a few.
HubSpot’s “State of the Twitterspere” report highlights that 70% of all Twitter users joined Twitter in 2008. That’s huge growth, Mike says “Twitter was a ghost town in 2007″ so we should expect some ramp up time for Tweetworks as well.
