i have a bad perspective on all this stuff b/c i kind of HAVE to use both twitter and google reader for work. so far for me twitter is basically only good for breaking news, but its GREAT for that, it feels like an old-school news ticker, which is maybe why "media people" love it so much. (and that in turn is why hype hype hype)
i dont think itll change the world (i dont really even understand HOW its supposed to have like caused a revolution? like the mechanics of twitter being a political tool are foreign to me. people retweet slogans?) but i think it or something like it will always exist, if only as a tool for news junkies/reporters. (also for palinesque media-hating pols & celebs)
(also seems worth pointing out that i didnt really like twitter until had a couple hundred followers and all of a sudden people were actually reading/RTing/replying to me with some frequency. & my guess is that most people who are hyping twitter are in the same boat, and dont see how boring it can be if no one is paying attention to you)

i have over literally 100 followers - i havent really been into using it for two way communication - i like it more or less for syndication purposes - in fact when im checking out someones feed to see if i want to follow them and its all @ replies and RTs im like naaah - im in it for the links mostly - although recently i seem to have started following a lot of i dont know what to call them 'mentally ill twitter comedians' - like people who say v strange abstract things that structurally look like jokes but dont really make any sense - also it made me realize thats kinda what my tweets look like :/

I pretty much stopped reading twitter entirely. idk. I mean it's not that I don't get it or anything but I guess I found it kind of annoying. Too much crap to follow. Maybe I should try again.

yeah i never use it and dont get much value out of it personally

Only reason I am even on twitter is due to a couple people I know who basically dont use anything else, and their tweets are locked, so its that or I never hear from them. Which is ridiculous of course.

well plz present some rationale for the entire up until this point internet narrative of creative destruction and inovation to turn 180 to a static corporate controlled futurescape - something better than 'people seem to like mobile apps' and 'google results are not the best' - i mean you know corporate interests wouldve loved to control this thing from the beginning - instead we got the unraveling of the music, print, and advertising worlds and the rise of huge new technology companies more interested in facilitating peoples internet experience than controlling the content of it― ice cr?m, Thursday, February 24, 2011 12:01 AM (22 hours ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

basically i dont see how the history of the internet up till now which has been 'liberating content' switches to 'locking down content' is all - at least present a plausible narrative where users would be cool w/giving up their freedom/free stuff
