As we make our way through
2013, I continue to find people who dismiss Twitter, saying "I'm not
interested in hearing what someone had for lunch." Like any technology,
uses for Twitter run the spectrum from useful to useless, from meaningful to
banal, from the sublime to the ridiculous.
However, I think more people
would benefit from Twitter if they understood what it represents. I find
Twitter to be one of the greatest communication platforms ever invented. I
think it takes a rightful place at the top of an august assembly of the most
significant paradigm-shifting communication platforms in human history.
