I am listening to the NPR program about the point of twitter, and it isn’t keeping my attention. No real observation in this program that we don’t already think about Twitter, unless you have been under a rock for the past 5 years. This guy interviews some lady about how she is upset that people are dying of malaria, yet more tweets go out about justin beiber, when people could be cured for just $20…then she says she tweeted a pic of her effing sushi lunch…jesus, how can you even put this report online? I don’t blame the idea behind us listening to this, it is kind of interesting from one stand point, real time news, that doesnt require a bureaucracy of newspaper people judging what is written because a coma was out of place and had to be rewritten three times and thus 4 hours time late.
Oh, then they talk about social media data analysis, understanding how giant corporations can help their image if they engage the public when things go wrong, such as the GM recall of just about every car they make.
Wrapping up they plug the idea of getting Twitter to get a viable business model so they can make money!
Twitter...whats the point...besides my grade?
