Being a self-confessed Twitter-holic (and a lover all things new media) I was thrilled to see Twitter on the cover of Time Magazine. Yes, Twitter IS showing up pretty much everywhere (and possibly that in itself spoils the fun of it for its original audience), but what I enjoyed about the article was the reference to the super-fresh web.
I’ve heard the advent of immediate updates/content/ news referred to as the real-time web and super-fresh is as accurate (and fun) a reference.
The magazine is worth picking up for this story. Of course you can also read How Twitter will Change the Way We Live online.
Here was my highlight (and what I think many ‘jump-on-the-bandwagon’ users forget:
“It’s entirely possible that three or four years from now, we’ll have moved on. But the key elements of the Twitter platform will persevere. Every major channel of information will be Twitterfied.”
This is really exciting. The conversation, engagement, super-fresh way of receiving and sharing ideas, information and resources is here to stay. And that’s something worth Tweeting about!
On another note, after many requests from the Australian Businesswomen’s Network’s community of women in business I will run a one-hour webinar on 17 June 2009 – Twitter for Business – to show users how to use this super-fresh tool in a practical way to grow their networks and their business. I’d love for you to tune in.
