All A-Twitter
Has anyone else noticed Twitter being mentioned in the news more and more the last few weeks?
These have all happened in the last month:
- I chat with someone at SF Beta. Afterward, instead of exchanging phone numbers or emails, she asked for my Twitter ID.
- A co-worker of mine leaves to become the COO of Twitter.
- I start listening to NPR’s Science Friday, where they take questions on the air and from Twitter (and from Second Life).
- David Pogue writes an article in the New York Times about getting on Twitter.
- While reading about the Mars Phoenix Lander, I discover that they have an award-winning Twitter channel.
- Another co-worker of mine does a site review panel at SMX. Afterward, she finds out that someone listening in was twittering the event. She is slightly creeped out.
- My mom asks me and my roommate what Twitter is.
- My parents take me to City Church of San Francisco, whose bulletin encourages members to follow them on Twitter.
All this makes me think I should hop on the bandwagon. I just created an account. I’m danvdk.
