Twittering my brain. On technorati too.0

Posted by Bru December 14, 2006 11:03 AM

Phipunk seems to have been the first. Tantek made it a trend. The idea is really simple: twitter is a dump for your everyminute snapshots right? Well, claim it on technorati :)

I think it makes perfectly sense, since even if nowadays everybody (me first) seems to be just on a twittering high and continously writing mostly nonsense kitten-food like sentences, chances are people will start soon taking advantage of this "distributed watercooler" and keeping track of references and conversation will be paramount.
Twitter gives the affordance of a shared background noise, something similar to what we used to do back in the days (and quite often I still do) by keeping a window open on a popular IRC channel, just to keep in touch with the meme of the moment.

Also on this topic, here is a highly recommended post by Cathy Sierra on twitter, continuous partial attention and Flow.
