Twitter is fantastic for small businesses – we’ve managed to find clients, staff and market our business and it’s saved us as contractors a lot of money.

The reason I think platforms like Twitter are so powerful is that people can move between using it as a broadcast medium and a conversational tool almost seamlessly. This means people actually become the news, as opposed to just reading it. I was able to learn of an earthquake in California * at the moment it was happening*, and then watch as people reacted to it (puts new meaning into your idea of “movement and response” ) I’d much rather participate in all the world has to offer rather than have it thrust upon me.

Thanks for the thoughtful analysis.

Forget the numbers. Twitter will probably be a gateway to greater details of a person and further pushing of personal information.
Also social media is probably going to lead people to search for certain types of information from others rather than engines or feeds.
Thank you for another perceptive post.

You make a provocative statement, that our interactions — informational, social and commercial — are motivated by “the point and place of introduction and bound by context and time.”

Then you say, “Noticeable content sparks curiosity and dictates our next move and subsequently the next moves and reactions of friends and friends of friends (FoFs).”

Then it struck me. Twitter is a sort of magical network that proactively fosters a rippling effect of Movement and Response.

When I went to Wharton for my marketing-focused MBA (I was the oddball who chose the Wharton MBA for its marketing program, not it’s finance , the marketing was taught along 6 P’s: product, pricing, promotion, placement, push, pull.

Twitter, today, and perhaps another medium in the future that will spark the next marketing (r)evolution — represents the next-wave marketing of Movement and Response.

Like you say, other media brands should be excited about the opportunities twitter brings for them.

They can now connect their content to new audiences, who are increasingly seeking a personal news stream.

Wow, this is one of the first instances where mainstream people are deciding what’s news to them via the social web, and not the national media sources.

That’s astounding. Are people ready to be updated on what’s going on in the world in so few characters. And already RSS feeds – once seen as the most up-to-date of technology – are being surpassed by Twitter.
What a speed technology is moving at. I’m just getting into blogging and this is all a whizz. Thanks for more interesting posts on PR2.0

I’d agree that Twitter is luring us from the traditional RSS feed. I prune my follower list so that every time I log in, I’m presented with a stream full of meaninful conversations and link sharing. Management of your stream could limit the need for an RSS feed.

Ari, indeed…Quantcast also show much higher numbers for Twitter.

Brandon, that video was spot on…”LOCK IN!”

The video had to be the best use of an animators’ time ever. Hilarious and awfully on-target.

Thanks, Brian.

Twitter is much, much higher than compete.com says it is, because the comparison tool only looks at twitter.com, not desktop and mobile clients that use the Twitter API.
