How does twitter help us collaborate?
They call it informal collaboration. I decided to investigate because my favorite podcast/blog just blogged about their tweeting community- and how all the tweeters in this planet money community are going to start meeting up. More on this planet money community coming soon.... but for now this quick explanation (by Twitter itself) of just what need Twitter meets, what purpose they serve.

* Bonus- As advertised, Twitter answers the question “What are you doing?” It means that you can stay in touch with others without being intrusive. Just follow their twitters.
Twitter can be distracting, but it can be useful. It’s up to you.
ALL of this is quoted directly from the website Alice :)
God I'm almost tempted to become a tweeter! Two cool follow-ups to the power of Twitter....
ReplyDeleteYou might have seen these already, but the wikinomics blog applying The Tipping Point to Twitter: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/index.php/2009/01/16/applying-gladwell-tipping-point-theories-to-twitter-users/
And then a new yahoo search engine using twitter to help prioritize news stories. This was all over the U.S. news after the plane crashed in the Hudson- and people were tweeting live photos and updates- reporting far more accurately and up to date than any traditional media outlets. First thing that's made me pay attention to yahoo in a long time. Google beware- here comes Twitter!!
