Twitter Becomes Better With More People

Robert Scoble, recently wrote an blog post respond­ing to Phil Criss­man about his Twit­ter behav­ior. Phil was basi­cally ask­ing him if he could actu­ally get any­thing of value out of 6,000 peo­ple talk­ing on Twit­ter, or was it all just “eat­ing a sand­wich” type of infor­ma­tion. I have to say that I have been slowly increas­ing the num­ber of peo­ple that I am fol­low­ing on Twit­ter, and while it can some­times get annoy­ing see­ing it never stop going off telling me some­one just said some­thing, it is also fas­ci­nat­ing. I love it, the infor­ma­tion flow is amaz­ing in this envi­ron­ment, peo­ple are dis­cussing all kinds of things at once and then con­ver­sa­tions can develop on a topic in a mat­ter of sec­onds that will have 10, 15, 20 or more peo­ple all dis­cussing back and forth. Twit­ter really is a social im as I talked about in an ear­lier post. It does get bet­ter with more peo­ple, for you are expand­ing the depth and breadth of infor­ma­tion all at the same time.
