Hello
I have been researching and learning more about how young people learn and think. Part of the work has been reading, I am enjoying a book by Don Tapscott called Grown Up Digital and the other part is learning how to use Web2:0 tools and on-line social networking tools. One of these tools is Twitter.
Twitter is described as: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? http://twitter.com/
This week actor Ashton Kutcher challenged cable news channel CNN to a Twitter duel. Kutcher’s Twitter page sports more than 1 000 998 followers while CNN’s breaking news Twitter page has 998 297. This grew from 998 507 (Ashton) to over a million in the time it took me to type this!
What has been interesting is the speed at which things move and the competition between old media and new media. CNN published this via television and Kutcher via web. It seems new media wins this one!
One last word - thanks to team in the emerging technologies area of xx bank for helping out in learning these new world tools (Web2:0). What a great ride!
