Il faut bien justifier dès le début le nom du site : dans Voyageek, il y a geek. Il est donc tout naturel que j’écrive ici à propos des nouvelles technlogies, surtout quand elles ont un rapport avec le voyage. En lisant le blog de Dan York, l’une de ses 10 manières dont j’ai appris à utiliser Twitter en 2007 m’a interpellé. Il s’agit de Twitter as a Travelogue (ou Twitter comme carnet de route). Voici ce qu”écrit Dan :
“I travel typically 1-2 weeks each month. Speaking at various conferences. Attending different events. My schedule has been that way for several years. In the past, when I was traveling to places, I would often update my dyork.livejournal.com blog with information about my travels. Where I was going. What flights I was on. If flights were delayed, etc. While I am definitely aware that there is a dark side to doing this, overall it’s been extremely useful over the years. Today I do this with Twitter. In large part because it’s so incredibly simple to do. Just use the web browser on my Blackberry… or use SMS if the data side isn’t working. Simple. Easy. “
Que les “écriveurs” passent leur chemin, Twitter ne permet que des articles de 140 signes.
