Dis-closer We are on Twitter:

Before twitter was discovered by the famous the big and the many it was basically a way to say what are you doing right now. Of course many still answer this question, but still many create it as a place to see how many followers they can get. I recently went to panel were several web 2.0 people talked about Twitter and what it means today. One thing they said was there are many people who try to see how many followers they can get and who can get to the top first. Now that many high profile stars are on Twitter the 1 million mark of followers was easily past. I also recently read are article about how people have hundred’s maybe thousands of friends on Facebook. But how many of these people do you think they connect with physically, in the real word on week to week bases. And how many do you think there are of these people that they never meet, probably a lot. Now would you considered these people you never meet your friends. On Twitter you are more likely to have people you never meet before. Yet you tell your life, and your followers probably knows lot about your day to day life than you realize. Now that almost everyone has heard of Twitter it has become the bloated not much useful social network. Now I can’t say it’s all that bad. Twitter has allowed many to get news as it happens which could be a very useful asset to society. But then again how soon do we need to know about news halfway around the world.

Lets hear your comments on this issue.
