Twitter

The past few weeks, I have been exploring this new phenomenon: Twitter.

I don't care what the haters say... it is excellent for information transfer. It's all about your subscriptions. A plethora of fascinating people are beginning to get into it, including a ton of recording artists and other celebrities.

Oprah got it last friday: CS Monitor article CNET article her actual twitter page

Another discovery: Larry King. His Twitter page has actually been way informative... I love CNN!

If Twitter grows like Facebook has, it could be amazing for the networking capabilities. Go ahead, laugh at me, but it's all about the information! Twitter used an example explaining direct messages that I found useful. Say a friend tweets "at jamba juice. love the mango-a-go-go." If you were about to meet up with that person, and you wanted them to grab you an orange dream machine while they were there, you could easily reply back in a direct message and say "d joey grab me one too?" Or you could just call him, now that you know he's there. Either way, you wouldn't be without that sweet smoothie without twitter.

Say your favorite bakery gets on twitter and tweets every time they pull different baked goods out of the oven. You'd know exactly when to head over and pick up that deliciously warm and flaky croissant based on Twitter's capabilities.

Users can subscribe, unsubscribe, get mobile updates, or turn off mobile updates at any time they wish for any particular person at any time. Yeah, the power!

Going to be interesting to see if this twitter revolution gets bigger... or if it hits the maximum point on the parabola in bit and then starts to die down. Very interesting.
