There is a lot of good of the new technology and its impact on communication, transparency, etc…. On the other hand, there is a lot of information overload out there and the implications are yet to be seen!!!!

I disagree with "tartufe" that it's ONLY narcissism. It can be, but it can also be quite powerful. Two things: finding out stuff you didn't know you wanted to know... and quickly finding the answer to timely information. These two things twitter can do. But, I heard someone say that there's no point in trying to convince people to use twitter--and I agree, so I've given up.

Anyway, check out my satire about twitter--created at the height of their performance problems:

Tweeting and twitter are, I assert, a flash of narcissism of people wanting to at least think they matter. A comforting illusion until repetition reinforces the status quo - despite their wailing into the ethernet.

Opiate to the blogging masses.

Keeps em off the streets till they get a life, which is probably good.

Twitter is text messaging writ large, and is like realtime mini-blogging. I could see it being susceptible to a lot of fraud. At worst it suggests to me Athenian mobs or the plebians giving their thumbs up or down. Short Message sizes are 160 7-bit characters, 140 8-bit characters, or 70 16-bit characters (including spaces) and that accounts for the 140 char limit. Frankly, I think it quite possible for some of this stuff to go bust in the near future, as it appears to me unsustainable in the current econ climate unless Bernanke somehow has his way, and I can't think of any way to monetize it either, unless perhaps cos hiring ppl to "tweet" their products and services and make payments directly to Twitter for that.

Charlie, fact is, Twitter is glitter. As we continue to witness a shift away from traditional (interruptive) media to that of social media, where relationships are the new currency, and marketers adapt to "long-tail" narrow but targeted markets, many of them, Twitter is at the leading edge of this paradigm shift...so cool to know that 50% of their user base is speaking Japanese..Now go talk to Tumblr.

thanks.

Evan is a terrible marketer. His description of what Twitter is at the beginning of the show was painful to listen to.

Thanks, Charlie, for another superb interview.

Do you have your Twitter account set up, yet? When you do, send me a direct message on Twitter ... http://twitter.com/PhilJohncock ... would love to get your tweets "in real time."

Loved the focus of your show on the change in trends ... to putting one's self out there and transparency, as Evan mentioned. It's interesting that this seems to be a major focus of President Obama. I wonder if the transparency treatens some people, especially ones with something to hide.

The facts that you have your interviews are on the internet now and allow for embedding the video into blogs shows your transparency and is another way in which blogs are changing. For example, by allowing for embedding of your video, you are rapidly progressing syndication of media beyond RSS feeds and traditional TV!

Regarding Twitter in journalism, Julio Ojeda Zapata, a journalist from St. Paul, covered the Republican National Convention last year (#RNC08). He writes about his experience as well as includes a chapter on "Twitter and Public Relations" from a unique journalistic perspective in his great new book, "Twitter Means Business" ... http://budurl.com/TwitterMeansBusiness

Loving playing with Twitter, too, since December last year.

Provocative subject for shy Canadians. Twitter, the use of, was profoundly explained by Paul Pogue at NYT recently. His example was a business meeting. The question arose "Has this already been done?" A colleague sent a Tweet, internationally. The answer appeared in minutes "Yes", with an example.

This is a very powerful research tool. Good luck to 'young' Evan and thank you for the interview.
