Today I am writing about Twitter. I was going to write how Twitter would not gain mainstream acceptance. Then, I saw the article on Reuters regarding the earthquake near Washington, DC. I found out on Twitter before anywhere else.

  1. Nice article. Did you hear about that plane crash from me?

  2. great post, Twitter is really on fire lately. From freeing people from jail to warning of earthquakes. WOW!

    I don't remember if it was you or SilentJay. I remember a few people talking about it though.

  5. @steaprok I loved the story about the student getting out of jail in Egypt. Pure Twitter genius!

    I still don't get Twitter, suppose I'll have to try it out.

    If you are looking for "breaking news" or information of that nature, twitter is purely awesome. It is instant information at its extreme, and highly addictive. It took me a long time to figure out, and it is hard to explain because there is no "one thing" to get.

  8. So far I have convinced one non geek to sign up to Twitter.

    I signed up yesterday but am still a little perplexed about it, I haven't really given it my full attention due to GTA IV. I'll give it a proper try this weekend and see how I go.
