Twitter summary 28/03/2008
I’ve been truly sucked into the asynchronous, broadcast instant messaging of Twitter. It’s a little bizarre, but very compelling, especially when you have a desktop client running in the bottom right hand corner (I use Spaz). Here is a dump of twitters posted in the last week. I’ve left out the ones I used to coordinate meeting with people. You can directly follow the ‘stream of consciousness’ here

- When I post short blocks of text to Twitter, short posts on my blog, a quick video to YouTube, etc, I'm broadcasting myself in micro-format compared to the 30 minute format standard TV broadcast. This is being done from my very own desktop (including browser, mobile, playstation, etc), not in a professional studio/newsroom. This studio-> desktop transition is the same seismic shift as that seen in digital graphics and typesetting during the 80s and 90s). What I suspect motivates Seesmic's M+A is this: just like Adobe, Corel et al got big on the back of a desktop revolution in publishing, Seesmic feels it can capitalise on the desktop (micro-)broadcasting revolution by building a unified program that people can use as a gateway to broadcasting themselves to various places on the web. Prediction: 2008/2009 is going to witness many surprise moves in the micro-broadcasting space. Here are some wild guesses to...
