I personally like the “Twitter God View” – like I kill the Twitter timeline.

Every voice just coins as one voice no matter what language, culture or social background they have…

as long as they are on Twitter, they are equal.

Age, sex, location doesn’t matter.

I have to accounts one with about 400 people I follow (I’m being followed there by about 600) and that’s open to the public.

And a closed account creating a sort of innercercle.

Time is in essence completely different on ‘God View’, Jansegers (the open account) and Pieter Jansegers (my personal space).

I can’t read all the stuff posted on Twitter nor even on my open account, but on my closed account there is an extreme feeling of rest and peace and happiness.

Experiencing Twitter is extremely depending upon the context(s) you create for yourself.

Personally, I'd rather see a global tool with local filters (language, location etc.), simply because I feel people will struggle to manage global and local conversations through separate tools. Perhaps the generation that follows me is better 'programmed' for multiple micro-blogging tools! ;-) I hear you Pieter, but as this week’s tragedy in Mumbai demonstrated, Twitter is a global phenomenon.

Thinking that as twitter increasingly goes global, could we amend to @microprhk (for Hong Kong tweets), @microprau (for Australian tweets) etc.? I realize this adds two characters, but it does help localize the diiscussion. Great initiative.

Of course, that later became a business, but I really appreciate the grassroots approach Twitter brings to this process and the willingness of PR and journalists to give it a try. Twitter works perfectly for this and I'm sure many will benefit. If we participate with the idea of providing benefit it will work. If we succumb to the idea we'll make money and use it as a firehose, then we'll quickly see it lose it's value. No bad pitches, please!

Looking forward to seeing it in action.
