Comments on: Observations on Twitterdom

Twitter and its ilk will go mainstream as the generation that has grown up texting rather than e-mailing takes over the planet.

Interesting that you note the Obama camp' s use of Twitter -- and even refer to them as digitally savvy -- considering that they hardly make great use of the tool. I'm not sure if one is more correct than the other, but Leo's choice to follow only 427 might mean he's actually listening to those people. @barackobama, on the other hand, has zero public interaction with followers/friends.

I charted a number of my Twitter stats starting in 2006 that might interest you, to give you a sense of when "followers" might have started to rise system-wide:

Microblogging are becoming increasingly important as information source.

I, myself, have just suggested a Worldwide microblog based press agency idea

The essential point of this post comes in the final paragraph: "humans in the early 21st century will be required to process and buffer more discrete, loosely coupled bits of data than in the past of human history" Exponential growth of information is one of the defining trends of the times we live in. The internet contributes to that growth and exacerbates problems dealing with it. Solutions such as Twitter are inevitable since, as you point out, it increases efficiency of broadcast and sharing information. The explosion of Twitter-related applications further supports this view. We are seeing the evolution and diversification of information delivery systems. For the moment, at least, Twitter is at the leading edge.

An interesting side note about Obama. I contend that his campaign has been responsible for the revitalization of Twitter following a relative drop in interest after its initial launch, as charted on my website in a recent post: http://www.twitterthoughts.com/social-media-news-analyses/2008/5/12/obama-gives-twitter-a-boost.html
