Twitter foi parar na capa da Time

Começa assim o texto que estampa a capa do site da revista Time, escrito por Steven Johnson:


How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live


"The one thing you can say for certain about Twitter is that it makes a terrible first impression. You hear about this new service that lets you send 140-character updates to your 'followers,' and you think, Why does the world need this, exactly? It's not as if we were all sitting around four years ago scratching our heads and saying, 'If only there were a technology that would allow me to send a message to my 50 friends, alerting them in real time about my choice of breakfast cereal'."


e a conclusão não poderia ser outra:


"Injecting Twitter into that conversation fundamentally changed the rules of engagement. It added a second layer of discussion and brought a wider audience into what would have been a private exchange. And it gave the event an afterlife on the Web. Yes, it was built entirely out of 140-character messages, but the sum total of those tweets added up to something truly substantive, like a suspension bridge made of pebbles."
