Hooked on Twitter
Posted on February 24th, 2008
Howard Rheingold explains why he’s hooked on Twitter. Nice list.
To it I’d only add:
Entertaining: Some people are pretty consistently funny, insightful, two degrees left of comprehensible…
Revelatory: There’s this guy who in the real world is boring enough that people make up excuses to avoid sitting next to him at dinners. But on Twitter he is sharp-edged, pithy and delightful. It’s odd that people can reveal in 140 characters what is hidden at greater length.
Intimate: I’m keeping up with some people I otherwise wouldn’t even get the annual Christmas newsletter from. Hearing the details creates an intimacy that wasn’t there before.
Categories: blogs, digital culture, social networks

HIs last point isn’t accurate. You can block people who you don’t want to hear from. This helps Twitter achieve a blog-like high signal to noise ratio. It helps keep people from being too reactive and more focused on telling their own story as opposed to picking at other people in a personal way.
Ding Ding Ding… you nailed it in twitter fashion…short and sweet (not tweet)
on twitter it’s what I call “short and tweet”
great points Joho
