Another Twitter tip--encouraging RTs

Got an email from David Stephenson, this is a nice way to reach out to people...if you follow a lot of people you easily missing something from a contact that you might want to RT

You may remember that Wikinomics begins with the example of Goldcorp, the Canadian firm that released ALL data on its N. Ontario deposits and created a global Challenge competition to guide them on best places to mine for gold. They got thousands of outside-the-box ideas, the top prize was won by a consortium of two Australian companies that created a 3-D visualization of the site (and had never visited it!), and more than 8 million ounces of gold have been found there -- rescuing Goldcorp from near-bankruptcy.

DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE EXACTLY THE KIND OF CROWDSOURCING THE #BP WELL REQUIRES? I HOPE YOU'LL RETWEET THE FOLLOWING:

RT @Data4all
