I must admit that when I first heard about
Twitter
I thought it represented the apex of
what concerns me about internet technology: solipsism and sound-bite
communication. While I obviously spend a great deal of time online and thinking
about the potential of these new networked digital communication structures, I
also worry about the way that they too easily lead to increasingly short space
and time for conversation, cutting off nuance and conversation, and what is
often worse how these conversations often reduce to self-centered statements.
Bob Rankin tips us: "It allows you to back up all of your tweets, which is a huge advantage since Twitter does not store more than 3200 tweets at a time." And it¡s free!
