First Friday 2/6/09 Discussion: Twitter

Discussion of the Fast Company article (admittedly, not one of my better articles):

TWITTER

Benefits
  • non-corporate vibe
  • feels "personal"
  • tends to follow people with interesting lives: authors, Xian teachers, columnists

Who do we have who may have Twitter "following" demand? ***cheap***

  • CWC? (concern: possibly seen as "trying too hard", unnatural fit)
  • MLE? (concern: ditto)
  • EDs?
  • Program heads?

Problem: None of us "gets" it or "gets" the opportunity. We all think it's kind of dumb. But ... many people don't.

Next Steps: Drew, Allen, and Christian to try Twitter before next FF
