Re: That explains... said by nixen:said by winsyrstrife:I think most of Twitter's popularity comes from being able to receive the person's feelings/thoughts right at that moment. Provided they aren't screened by that person's agent or PR person. I believe Ashton Kutcher doesn't screen his, and that's how his wife's pics (or something like that) were on the net. It's a cool idea. I haven't used it yet, I dunno who I'd be interested enough in following. I've seen just *one* use of it that made sense: as a tool for communicating between a presenter and an audience (e.g., a large lecture session in a university). Beyond that, it seems pointlessly instantaneous for a broadcast-style medium. Simply put, unless a communication is directly for me and requires real-time return communication, it seems a bit pointless. And, if it does, there's things like the phone or AIM/Yahoo/MSN/gTalk. So you can call up Kevin Smith and talk to him about howthe filming is going on his new movie, or maybe shoot him an IM? Wow, you are important.
I like to read what is going on with things like that. Opie and Anthony post pictures during the show. You read it, say "that's neat" and then move on.
