This short guide is based on a paper presented in November 2008 at the conference "Social Web:
Towards Networked Protest Politics?" organized by the University of Siegen, Germany. I want to
thank the organizers of this conference Sigrid Baringhorst, Veronika Kneip, Annegret März and
Johanna Niesyto for the invitation and the opportunity to formulate in writing my thoughts on the
uses of Twitter for political activists. I also want to thank Patrick Meier who encouraged me to write
a practical introduction to Twitter for activists on the basis of this paper and provided valuable
feedback during the writing.

When a Movement Becomes a Party: Computational Assessment of New Forms of Pol...Pablo Aragón
Social media has become a key mechanism for the organization of grassroots movements. In the 2015 Barcelona City Council election, Barcelona en Comú, an emerging grassroots party, was the most voted one. This candidacy was devised by activists involved in the Spanish 15M movement in order to turn citizen outrage into political change. On the one hand, the 15M movement is based on a decentralized structure. On the other hand, political science literature postulates that parties historically develop oligarchical leadership structures.
This tension motivates us to examine whether Barcelona en Comú preserved a decentralized structure or adopted a conventional centralized organization. In this article we propose a computational framework to analyze the Twitter networks of the parties that ran for this election by measuring their hierarchical structure, small-world phenomenon and coreness. The results of our assessment show that in Barcelona en Comu two well-defined ´ groups co-exist: a cluster dominated by the party leader and the collective accounts, and another cluster formed by the movement activists. While the former group is highly centralized like traditional parties, the latter one stands out for its decentralized, cohesive and resilient structure
A social media walk through to help any new Twitter user get started. This will guide you from setting up a great profile to starting conversations with others to finding specific users to follow.
Twitter is a great place to find people who share interests with you, and build relationships. It is also a great place to listen to users to understand how they feel about certain topics. Whether you're a business or just looking to connecting with people, Twitter is a great place to do so. Twitter is a completely public platform so everything it open. Try not to feel weird joining in random people's tweets because it's typically ok. Join conversations that you are fluent in and understand.

{For Video & More details, see: http://bit.ly/na2ie }Behavioral bases for an Islamic society are gratitude, contentment, and trust. These are radically different from the characteristics of homo economicus, the basis for modern economics. Even though it claims to be descriptive, modern economics is actually a normative definition of "rational" behavior. However, this rationality is actually very foolish in human society, where cooperation, generosity, and social responsibity lead to far better outcomes. This lecture is the first in a new approach to Islamic Economics, which seeks to create an Islamic society on foundations of Islamic values.

And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise a people
whom Allah is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they
[the advisors] said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may
fear Him. (Quran 7:164)

people…and the greatest of them in his sight were

6. STAY RESPONSIBLE
No matter what level a worshipper reaches he is
never free from needing to worship his Lord, nor is

(death).” (Quran 15:99)

I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me of an act which will take me

have asked me about a great matter, yet it is easy for him for whom
Allah makes it easy:
Worship Allah alone; establish the prayer; pay the zakat; fast in
Ramadan; and make the pilgrimage to the House.”
“Shall I not guide you towards the doors of goodness? Fasting is a
shield; charity wipes away sin as water extinguishes fire; and the
praying of a man in the depths of the night.”
“Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar and its
peak?” He said, “The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is the
prayer and its peak is jihad.”
Then he said, “Shall I not tell you of the foundation of all of that?” I
said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” So he took hold of his tongue and
said, “Restrain this.” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, will we be taken to
account for what we say with it?” He said, “Is there anything that
throws people into the Hellfire upon their faces except the harvests of
their tongues?” (Hadith – Tirmidhi)
17. GUARDING THE TONGUE

A servant committed a sin and said: O Allah, forgive me my sin.
And He said: My servant has committed a sin and has known
that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them.
Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And
He said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he
has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he
sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He said:
My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a
Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins. Do what you wish,
for I have forgiven you. (Hadith – Bukhari & Muslim)

when you slip into an error.” (Hikam of ibn Ata’llah)
