we are living in different worlds, then.

because i hear it up to a dozen times a day, from every direction, at every
level of authority.

"twitter revolution" was first uttered by clay shirky and jeff jarvis,
neither one "Some Guy On the Internet." Shirky has changed his tune once he
actually thought about it. jarvis meant a software revolution, but there's
not much difference between a change in software and a change in government.
apparently.
