Here's some reflections: Thoughtful, Intentional Experiments Thoughtful experimentation is setting up a low-risk experiment with metrics to figure out what is and isn't working is a social media best practice.

His work was recently profiled in this New York Times piece. I've known him through his " Twitter ant trails " (I'll explain that in a bit).
