For those of you wondering, Twitter is still alive and very well. The micro-chunking revolution continues to chug ahead one imposed 140 character limit at a time. If you can’t see the promise behind these micro platforms (Facebook’s presence platform included), I suggest another line of work besides marketing.
That being said, Robert Scoble has published an excellent excellent excellent video for all the Twitter nation out there eager to see some behind the scenes goings on at Twitter HQ…
My Twitter video. An inside look. Meet the team. 37 minutes of Twitter brilliance. Watch it.
You get to see the inside of Twitter?s headquarters. Filmed last Friday, the day after they got funding. Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, talks about funding for the first few minutes ? we start the interview as Biz is on the move just as they were starting to celebrate Niall Kennedy?s birthday. I?ll watch the video right now and add a list of what?s discussed.
Why should you be on Twitter if you’re a busy business person in the online marketing world? Because Twitter is the essence of sharing ideas, services, platforms, theories and products. It represents a new way of thinking, communicating and consuming information. Twitter is, because of its limitations in function and available space to post, a perfect platform to understand the sociology behind persuasion and attention.
Leave your old metrics behind, and come join the reality train.
