I follow U of M sports, Wolverines and many local twitters from Ann Arbor too.
IMO we have only began to see the long range effect this will have on us for breaking news.]]> Comment on Why Twitter is Potentially a Mainstream Media Killer App tag:transparentre.com,2008-05-17:1051116 Dave Wirsching http://www.clearingtitle.com 2008-05-17T04:59:31Z 2008-05-17T04:59:31Z
Thanks for the links. I opened a twitter account about 2 weeks ago and I think it will be the killer app for micro-communication.

The original "where are you" premise doesn't seem to fit for business, but the "who are you" is a game changer. Eventually you will be able to look at a person's tweets and get a sense of what's important to them. Blog posts, URLs of interest, etc. Kind of a virtual cup of coffee. Not a place for marketing things, but definitely a place for marketing who you are.

As an info stream, I can see it replacing my blog reader some day. I don't need 1000 characters to see if I'm interested. 100 or so and a link is all I need.

I think the tools for following twitter are getting better and better. Using twirhl and twitterberry. Be interested in hearing if anyone else has suggestions.]]> Comment on Why Twitter is Potentially a Mainstream Media Killer App tag:transparentre.com,2008-05-16:1050895 Pat Kitano 2008-05-16T23:46:49Z 2008-05-16T23:46:49Z ]]> Comment on Why Twitter is Potentially a Mainstream Media Killer App tag:transparentre.com,2008-05-16:1050871 Brian Humphrey http://lafd.org/blog 2008-05-16T23:20:03Z 2008-05-16T23:20:03Z
Thanks for including the Los Angeles Fire Department among your roster of Twitter feeds. Like you, we see these technologies not as 'disruptive', but rather connective.

Please accept our best wishes for success in your many endeavors!

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

Could not agree more with you in your conclusions. I think it has the potential to be big, but like you, I'm of the "park it and wait" mentality.

For people who want to use it to generate business, Twitter is probably a bit too much like CB radio (I Love the 70's!) or chat rooms in the early days of AOL (I Love the 90's!).

Again, another great post.]]> Comment on REO / Foreclosure Online Resources tag:transparentre.com,2008-05-16:1048508 Scott Roemermann http://www.investing-secrets.com 2008-05-16T00:58:09Z 2008-05-16T00:58:09Z Comment on Why mainstream media should be developing online real estate magazines tag:transparentre.com,2008-05-15:1047049 Landflip http://www.landflip.com 2008-05-15T11:40:12Z 2008-05-15T11:40:12Z
