twitter is changing us

fantastic TIME article about the (un)expected social impact of twitter. it absolutely is worth a read.
how twitter will change the way we live

we don’t think it at all moronic to start a phone call with a friend by asking how her day is going. twitter gives you the same information without your even having to ask.

innovation, equality, shared experience, a sense of community. the TIME article actually dovetails nicely with this piece from the New York Times.
