Twitter-Use it

I have been on Twitter for a mere 3 months and I have already learned so much about the media. It is so much more than I once thought. Clive Thompson wrote a article titled, How Twitter Creates a Social Sixth Sense. He takes a different view point on the sometimes "meaningless" tweet on day to day activities. Often times people get annoyed when they get contant tweet regarding where they are what they are doing. Thompson doesn't see these tweets so meaningless. he says Twitter can create a sixth sense by allowing him and other useres to constantly know what is going on in someones life. He recalls it as a sort of ESP. It's an interesing way of looking at it. But he's got a few good points.

Thompson says he uses updates on Twitter to get to know a person better. Knowing when someone had a bad day might hinder you from upsetting them further. When something exciting happens to a person, or they express their interest, it can help the flow of future conversations. He defends complaints agains twitter when he wrote, "critics sneer at Twitter and Dodgeball as hipster narcissism, but the real appeal of Twitter is almost the inverse of narcissism. It's practically collectivist — you're creating a shared understanding larger than yourself."  Paying attention to borning little Tweets can create a sixth sense in a way. And using these tweets to better communicate can help with networking and relationships.
