Twitter: The Voluntary Human GPS Chip

Just when you thought instant messaging, cell phones and Blackberrys were the ultimate form of making yourself available 24-7… along comes Twitter. You’ll note a Twitter box in the bottom right corner of WillVideoForFood.com. We’ll see how long I decide to text message Twitter with my status (“typing blog post while bored on a conference call”).

I haven’t fact checked these, but here are some testimonials Twitter uses:”

  • Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer app.”
    TIME Magazine
  • “It’s one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet.”
    New York Times
  • “Suddenly, it seems as though all the world’s a-twitter.”
    Newsweek

So why in the world would I Twitter? I’m someone who backed into social media via video, and in fact prefers antisocial media. But I had to give it a shot because it’s gaining such notoriety. Kinda like the iPhone I finally returned on Sunday.

What does this have to do with online video? Nothing, really. Except that I think I need to do a video called the Twitter Shitter (“on third wipe”).
