Twitter, tweets, twerps and now twivers
Doc Searls in another interesting post posits that part of the reason for the success of Twitter is the contrast between live vs. static and light vs. heavy
I think I agree with that; I can dial up or back my interaction with it. I follow some pretty heavy twerps and don’t find it too hard – as I turn off my SMS notification for them – but I get to see their funny/clever attention getting stuff online – and focus on the twits more closely.
As an aside, I also *love* how fast the twit/twerp meme has travelled and some of the kickback it’s received…
… and lots of the fun with twitter is how fast you can check what’s arousing ire by a quick terraminds search.
I’m still learning with this all the time – but I love it (rather more than my mild regard for Facebook). I haven’t had to unfollow anyone yet…
