Seen several posts today extolling the virtues of twitter.
“if you can’t say it in 140 characters its not meaningful”
“give a sense of personality, of realness – authenticity that is needed to make your ideas trustworthy.”
OK … but that presupposes that what we have to say is interesting in the first place.
As you spread ideas, are you also interested in other people’s ideas ?
Is the main attraction not egocasting ?
At what point do the conversations become chaotic IRC-chatroom-like ramblings ?
What is the signal to noise ratio in Twitter ?
Note: i speak as a non-involved Twitter sceptic. And my better half makes guitars, so the value to my household logistics is nil.
