Re: Twitter

Think of it as mini-blogs. The attention span of most people are really low as a result most people want you to get a thought across in a sentence...hence tweet...

For I, in a Jamaica context:

Some pretense at discussions.
More real Jamaicans
No Moderators

Facebook is possibly even more dynamic, but I am not on it so I do not know!

1. Amazing you should say that when the attention span here is short or shorter.

2. A lot of responses here are also well within the 140 characters limit of Twitter.

3. jamaicans.com is on twitter. Although I know the account is on auto-pilot and not a run by humans.

Twitter also represents a generational shift. Remember when our parents just couldnt understand why we were on the phone sooo long? Many people under 40 dont use their phones as phones. They text everything. Twitter is an app that allows you to send texts to your group of friends, OR send texts on a topic.

Tweets among friends are like this foo foo shout box we have right here at Jams.com which some people blame for the sites present anemic state. Im reading it now. Someone has laid themself dung. they feel pekkish. Someone has arrived with ten kids. Someone needs cookies for a snak later. Trust me... Twitter is not so inane.

With experience and practice anyone can create a twitter feed that is fascinating to your own life. Im interested in these revolutions that are happening in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain. I get tweets from people there who are marching in the streets in the now. For example right now a few tweets from Libya are saying that some special units of the army have joined the protesters.

Im just encouraging people to see that these social networking apps, like Twitter and facebook, aren't really just narcissism run amok. Social networking can be used in many different and creative ways... and are the ONLY tools in the hands of freedom fighters in many countries.
