paul lowe on 16 Apr 09Twitter: it's a medium not a platform It tweets but it ain't Twitter It tweets but it ain't Twitter So I am on a panel talking about Twitter, while Jemima 'mistress of multi-skilling' Kiss is Tweeting to the few enterprising students who are Tweeting while another is broadcasting it on Qik. Then Anthony Thornton from IPCmedia says "Twitter is a not a platform, it's the medium for short-term communication". And he's right. I have been active on Twitter for a month or so. It is a micro-blogging service that limits messages to 140 characters, but you can link out to other webpages and thus include video/stills.
