Re: Twitter Schmitter.... said by Karl Bode:All true. But it is the beginning of something and still has value in terms of information exchange. I imagine in three years, Twitter won't even be relevant. You'll see the idea of instantaneous info exchange just incorporated across apps. I also expect in short order, corporations will greatly restrict what their employees can say and/or do via Twitter because there's PR risk involved in acting like a human being and speaking your mind (imagine the horror of that!  ). Still, where Twitter is right now, there's value in the info being exchanged. Especially for bloggers -- given there's countless corporate employees who are chatterboxes and give up info you couldn't otherwise obtain from traditional support and/or PR. I hope corporations are smart enough to only allow media relations/PR employees to use twitter. PR disasters, vengeful employees saying bad stuff on purpose to screw over the company, employees handing out proprietary trade information (like admitting they a policy of no capital investment and redlining), employees defaming customers, unresponsiveness being turned by the blogosphere into accusations of genocide, antisemitism, fascism, racism and pedophilia. |

| I'm not talking about "vengeful" employees out to screw the mothership. That seems strange to even infer from what I posted. I'm simply talking about good, regular employees expressing themselves. I think Twitter, as it is RIGHT NOW, allows some insight to these companies that you're not going to see down the line. |

I've been to the secret sections of the mother ship, and truth is:
THEY'RE LIZARDS!
THEY'RE HARVESTING HUMANS FOR FOOD!
Sorry, I had a 1984 flash back. All of a sudden my computer looks like a 128K Mac with that horrible horrible mouse that had those shitty plastic legs.
Maybe in a year I can upgrade to a 512K "fat Mac".
Can't see why anyone would ever need more than 512K and a 800KB floppy.
