As a social media strategist I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of Twitter for the last couple of year, though I must admit I am yet to become and active user, in part because I have a hard time keeping up with all of my immediate contacts who are not on Twitter.
The above video is an interesting bit of social commentary on Twitter. There finally does seem to be a critical mass of people using the microblogging tool in ways that being on it become increasingly relevant.
I am curious what this signifies about online communities and our constructions of identity, specifically how sending 140 character communications provide a sense of connectedness and meaning that is not self-indulgent. What would Foucault say about all of this?
