I'm trying to understand what is different from a blog or Facebook or myspace.
>From what i can gather it creates a platform where either anyone or those >invited can post a brief comment so it creates an ongoing thread sort of like >a forum thread tho i presume one can twitter on a cell phone? what makes it snappier or more immediate than a blog-- like if you are a reporter? --- On Wed, 1/4/09, linda westmore <[email protected]> wrote: From: linda westmore <[email protected]> Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: twitter and tweet To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 1 April, 2009, 9:48 PM Completely agree with you David Cheers, Linda On 1 Apr 2009, at 21:22, David Rosam wrote: Just try it and see what you get out of it. I couldn't see why I'd want to be on Twitter until I tried it out and realised the questions I'd been asking and the assumptions I'd been making were completely off-beam. Cheers David 2009/4/1 Virginia <[email protected]> Thanks, Anna. I have been totally baffled by this need to tell the world what you are doing. Thought maybe I was too old to understand it all. 2009/4/1 anna churchill <[email protected]> so is this like a digital network of 'walkie talkies". i am trying to find the rationale for this obsessive connectivity madness. from what i can gather it means a limitless amount of people can feed into someone's twitter set up and everyone can keep putting in little updates. but why? unless a group working on something that needs to intersect. then, very handy. an example i saw was just a sort of mad, ongoing, virtual reality show feed of people being seduced by banal babble and alerting each other that they have just gone to the loo. is it like a digital conference call? is it so its like an always "open line" so at any given mo someone may be putting in an update and bump into someone else and then they can communicate right then? eh???? -- David Rosam SEO Copywriting and Online Strategy http://webpositioningcentre.co.uk http://dangerous-thinking.com http://twitter.com/seocopyandstrat --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
