Twits of Meat
Somewhat surprisingly for a web 2.0 phenomenon, twitter is — at heart — a broadcast medium. People have come up with ways to make it more social, but those are largely afterthoughts. This is probably why twitter has become so popular with marketers recently: for them, a one-way broadcast is much more comfortable and safe and familiar than actually having to have a conversation.
The big difference, however, is that with twitter people actually have to subscribe to your feed. It’s a broadcast, but entirely opt-in. And if that’s where some of you want to get your meat, we’re happy to broadcast too.
