  • 9. So….what’s the point? Let our experts explain

Editor's Notes

  1. San Francisco, CA August 2006 Wanted to combine instant messaging (or SMS), and mobile with LiveJournal So they thought of…..
  2. Status. Then Twttr. Then Twitter. Loved the name Twitter because it reflected how fleeting and significant a message can be at the same time. Jack Dorsey: The whole bird thing: bird chirps sound meaningless to us, but meaning is applied by other birds. The same is true of Twitter: a lot of messages can be seen as completely useless and meaningless, but it’s entirely dependent on the recipient
  3. SXSW: south by southwest (annual music, film, interactive conference &amp; festival) -not yet at FB’s level, been around since 1997 (12 years) and now has 200 million users -FB launched in 2004 and hit 4 million members after one year [http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/09/07/85-of-college-students-use-facebook/] -BUT must be noted that FB’s popularity happened in waves by appealing to exclusive groups: offered to college, then high school and professionals, then public
  4. -study earlier this year in April by Comscore that 45-54 year olds were majority until they released new findings in September that Twitter is aging in reverse Benjamin Button complex came up WHY? Blame Ashton Kutcher vs. CNN as the sign of tides changing, endless cycle of youths and celebs
  5. All in common= personalized messages, high engagement with followers AntoniaZ uses her profile picture to support abortion rights; people turned their profiles green to support Iranians fighting for democratic rights in Tehran Average users make small fraction
  6. Following/followers @francesolimpo - replies Direct Messages Favourite tweets List view *NEW*
