A "new media" primer

For those of you who may not be familiar with some of the "new media" that is out there, or who wonder what in the world I'm talking about sometimes ...

Today's lesson is about Twitter. If you know what I'm talking about, STOP! And go look at one of my other blogs and read (and comment on!) something else.




















You don't listen well, do you? Well, you can read on, but you probably know more about Twitter than the article will share. [Sorry to those new to Twitter; keep scrolling.]












For those of you who see Twitter and say, "Huh?" - I point your attention to this great article over at eNilsson. It's a great synopsis of what's going on. It still can't make money (which means it's living off the good graces of venture capital companies who are likely finding their pools of investment funds available shrinking along with the economy), so it might not be around as long as some would like it to be, but it's here now.

And it's part of the "now web." [Click HERE for an interesting article about Twitter that incorporates this concept.]

Later, at my tech blog, I'm going to talk about a different aspect of the web: the deep web.
