So how are you imagining they send the data back once you’ve sent out the tweet “request”? Direct messgage? I couldn’t imagine they’d do a directed tweet (e.g. “@missrogue: Lulu SF: 123 22nd St”) because when usage grows it’d be too much noise.

Re twitter and company paranoia – ranting at a small conference we ran for grad recruiters earlier today about social networking tools/web ’2′ sense-making tools and so on and one woman commented how she wasn’t allowed to look at ANY websites without applying in writing! The excuse is terrorism, viruses etc. The reality is the ongoing addiction of so many corporate IT departments to a panoptical view of the world.

I believe Tara may have been using the Kender scale of counting:

“One, two, some, many”

Oh…your a big numbers guy, then. How many is many for you?

Many is a handful for me.

Um…which doesn’t count the news sites, the twitter apps (very recursive), etc.

“Currently, many companies are using Twitter for their service updates or company announcements”

Is it “many”? Really? How about “some”? or “several”? or even “dozens” (which sounds high)?

It’s interesting to sit back and watch the blogosphere revisit concepts that have been around for a while for the hyped web “2.0″ application d’jour. What ever happened to “as we look to the future, we should examine our past?”

As an aside, remember the cumulative advantage story in the NYT? That perfectly explains the case of Twitter, where Leo & Scoble were primarily responsible for pushing it to stardom in the blogosphere.

I do like that Tara was one of the early adopters who tried to find value in Twitter instead of randomly posting what you’re doing.
