Just Turn it Off
July 11th, 2007MIT Technology Review has an interview with Evan Williams. I love this little exchange:
“TR: Couldn’t that get annoying, to constantly get text-message updates about the minutiae of your friends’ days?
EW: You can stop following at any time. You just turn it off so it doesn’t get overwhelming.”
In the picture, Evan looks like Joey from [...]

Twittergramming
July 10th, 2007I just recorded a Twittergram from my phone and it was so freakin’ easy. Thanks Dave Winer for doing what you do.

Twitter for Museums
April 18th, 2007Great post (via Smart Mobs) over at Museum 2.0 on Twitter. I’m loving the last paragraph:
“It’s each person’s individual choice as to how much emotional investment he/she puts into experiences with tools, whether those tools be the web, cell phones, or anything else. I used to hate cell phones. Now I appreciate the utility [...]
On the Web, attention spans shrink, the need for value rises
April 14th, 2007Chris Shipley writes:
“I was reminded of this after coming back from a near three-week holiday out of the country and off the grid. Folks were atwitter about Twitter.com, a site that hadn’t hit the radar before I left, and one that was fading from the screen by the time I’d returned.”
Twitter had faded? Really? [...]
