Explaining the Impact of Twitter and Friendfeed

In the beginning, there were social networks

and blogs

Yes, blogs and social networks are Web 2.0

But online conversations are hard to maintain

Online conversations are hard to maintain

1. Too many social applications to track

2. Too much time writing thoughtful comments on blogs

3. Conversations fill inboxes! Participants just can’t keep up

It’s hard to build relationships without real time conversation

1. Too many social applications to track

2. Too much time writing thoughtful comments on blogs

3. Conversations fill inboxes! Participants just can’t keep up

That’s why conferences, BarCamps and Tweetups are fun

They’re like pen pal parties - you meet your online network

F2F Casual Conversation Develops Real Relationships

You take videos

You take pictures

You become friends

This kind of conversation was missing from social media

Then Twitter happened

At first, very few could “get” Twitter

Why would I care about this?

It’s called “microblogging”

But the crowds discovered utility

Everybody noticed how simply and elegantly Twitter broadcasts breaking news and ideas to a personal network

All these new Twitter applications appeared

Time efficient

I can opt to spend ten to thirty minutes responding to someone via a blog post or I can take ten to thirty seconds posting a response via Twitter.

Nick O’Neill, Social Times

Conversational

Twitter is like IM, it’s casual, it’s personal, it’s instant gratification

Twitter fills the conversational void in social media

Social networks grow faster

It is better to think of [Twitter] as a café.

People keep coming, conversations are perpetually on, someone leaves, and someone else joins in. You chat with your friends and acquaintances regularly and every so often you also meet one of their friends. You join into their conversations and make new friends in the process…

Rajesh Lalwani, Hindustan Times

and more intimately

There are more intimate conversations being held on this next-generation chat room, and it’s filled with early adopters and those who are trying to reach them.
