TwitterNation resource on Forbes.com - articles, pics, info
April 23rd, 2009 by Lani VoivodThey say what you focus on expands.
Never has this been more clear for me than over the last year, since Twitter first got on my radar in any real and meaningful way.
Still, I continue to get waves of “OMG!” when I come across whole sections of major, heavy-hittin’ media outlets - like this mighty Forbes.com Twitter info cluster - dedicated to the business applications, cultural impact, and FUN FACTOR in, round, and inspired by the Twitterverse.
As they say in their suitably brief intro leading to a Twitter info portal of vast clickability:
TwitterNation: Give us 140 characters, and we’ll turn on the world.
News has never traveled faster. The first Twitter prototype was cobbled together in two weeks in March 2006. By the end of the year, it had became a sort of digital pulse—a way that anyone could communicate thoughts, ideas, news, views or just greetings. “I tweet—therefore I exist” became the mantra. The company was founded in May 2007. A gazillion million tweets later, Twitter is becoming the way people all around the globe reach out and touch someone.
Fascinating. Addictive. Engaging. Enthralling. Ridiculous. Brilliant. Inspiring. Simplicity exploded into infinite applicability, complexity, and miraculous connectivity.
And to think, as of the last week or so, the whole Twitter behind-the-scenes Empire consists of Twitter founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, and just 35 or so other peeps.
Just goes to show us all — add a little audacious “What if…?” thinking to focused, streamlined technological razzle-dazzle, and you change the way we silly little humans communicate with each other.
Whodathunkit?
