Who Are You on Twitter?
http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - I was quite surprised to fire up a Web browser and check out my "Twitter Grade" (which I'm sure doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it's still an interesting statistic to know - considering just how many people are using Twitter these days). Turns out, I'm in the Twitter Elite - outranking everybody else. I have no idea how the hell that happened, but I'm in some good company there. Then again, I consider everybody on Twitter a part of the elite - one person's tweet is equal to another's (despite what some might claim). Just because you have more or less followers than me doesn't make you any more or less important than you already are. Twitter is instant gratification, instant validation, and a chance for you to tell the world what you're thinking... before you've had a chance to think about it. Then again, maybe it's more like an exclamation of feelings before you've felt them? What is Twitter to you? Is it anything? Are you there? Is it a fad - like this blogging thing? Will Twitter be around in 10 years? Will you? Oh, too many questions - but I dare not pose them directly ON Twitter, lest I be lashed with the 140 character limit. Beh. So, you can follow me if you choose to follow - I'll auto-follow back, because that's how I wish to use Twitter. It's a firehose of information and emotion - a digital microcosm of life itself. |
