Ok, so everyone and their analyst is talking about Twitter (or Jaiku). And some are concerned with how these apps are making it quicker to get interrupted.
Eh, it’s probably been said before, but what I see is actually these apps taking over what other apps, such as blogs or feed readers were doing.
These apps are making it easy to more closely ‘ring-fence’ (not my term) one’s relevant social network. People are willing to invest personally relevant communication (twittering) with fewer folks. I’ve been seeing people’s public blogs make way for Vox and Twitter and Jaiku as folks try to get a handle on the real reason they are out flying the Cloud: connection with people who want to connect back.
That’s the next wave of the Internet.
Internet, wave 1 – mass broadcasting and publications
Internet, wave 2 – it’s about the youniverse, many to many
Internet, wave 3 – it’s about me and mine, few to few, in relevant and closely tied connections, making my First Life vibrant via my Second Life tools.
Hmm, perfect stage for the mobile phone.
🙂
*Heh, heh. As I was writing this, I did a search for Jaiku and Twitter and the first link is none other that redsoda, Henriette.
