Twitter

Hmmm....

Twitter at TED.

I wrote about twitter before, and now I almost feel like I need to reconsider.

I hadn't considered the time scale of twitter. It is always about what is happening right now. It isn't really a medium that is concerned with long term ideas. The archive is useful in terms of data mining, but it isn't a source of information by itself. It is all about what is going on in the world at this instant, and gathering that information through small amounts of text.

Still not quite convinced enough to actually start using it myself. But I think I understand it better.
