Today Oprah Winfrey joined Twitter and did her whole show about it. She really matters. 200,000 followers in the first day during a week where Larry King began tweeting and Ashton Kutcher raced CNN (and won) to become the first Twit to have 1,000,000 followers. How did he do it? He put a video on YouTube, of course.
Last night, I went to a party with 100+ of my high school friends. It reminded me of my senior year... nobody knew me, looked right through me... <oops, that was a quote from song Adam sang on AI> Think how fast this is coming. Not too long ago, a guy in NYC invited his whole Facebook to meet him at a pub. One person showed up.
Last night's gig was organized by one woman who picked a date, made an event on FB and invited the kids she found on FB and encouraged the rest of us to do the same. This would not have happened a year ago. I bet that out of the 100 people there last night, fewer thatn 10 were on FB a year ago.
Now, Oprah. The twitter phenomenon was already way past critical mass. Now the chain reaction will be accelerated. Lots of people don't get Twitter. They better get it fast.
I bookmarked your post will read this latter
