Notas del editor
- We’ve seen this before
- As Om Malik observed: “Twitter is ... the start of an interaction society.”
- And already it is becoming essential public infrastructure.
- Already people are talking about it topping Google
- We’ve seen this before
- Printing press
- Telegraph
- Telephone
- Radio
- Internet
- Web
- This time is different
- In July 2008 at a Nesta Web Science event Sir Tim Berners Lee, inventor of the web, said... “I no longer understand my own creation” He also implored the audience... “Ask not whether we're asking too much of the web, but whether we're asking too much of us” Indicating that what this is and where it’s going is about people.
- This time is different
- So simple that grandmas can use it.
- Being sms compatible, it can be used anywhere, anytime from mobile phone
- And being public
- and 1 - 1
- Which leads us to...
- creating the most accessible, participatory, public medium in history. Public micro-messaging merges the extensible/emergent nature of the web with the 4B person reach of SMS.
- anywhere...
- and everywhere.
- Which leads us to...
- It also enables unprecedented reporting...
- And finally we have unprecedented opportunities for flash mobilization like #hohoto where, in 18 days, over a dozen people came together over twitter to co-led the creation of a sold-out party to 600 people which raised $25,000 and 2t of food for the local foodbank.
- So...
- If most of this happened with less than 5million users...
- If most of this happened with less than 5million users...
- If most of this happened with less than 5million users...
- And what happens when Twitter goes down - again - and again.
- And what happens when there are more services that we want to use? How do we access all these public messages? How do we search for everything everyone is saying about the next major event?
- So where do all those public messages sit? - in Twitter’s private servers And for how long? And what what if I want to use a different service like Identi.ca?
- Researching what makes the medium work
- And convening labs to experiment and evolve the medium for maximum public benefit.
- Building a network-grade infrastructure
- seeking seed funding and partnerships to scope and launch the initiative.
