Twitter’s Real Edge: It’s not Scary
I liked this one insight from the article:
Twitter is noncommittal, bite-sized lifecasting in a manageable text
form. It’s similar to how I refuse to check one long rambling voice
mail, but I’m happy to scan hundreds of texts or emails. Hoffman
compared it to the difference between watching a vacation movie of your
friend sitting on a boat in the water for an hour, versus reading one
140-character Tweet that your friend was sitting on a boat enjoying the
sun.
As someone who hates watching vacation videos, and never once logged onto one of those life streaming sites to see what the person was doing, I can relate.
