Exploding twitter: Be Inspired

If my cousin had used twitter, the vocal cords of my aunt (QDDG) would have had a better life.

Many things have changed in the way the new ones are advertised. Life 35 years ago was simple, after the second day of classes -Because they were two- nothing mattered, nor the tasks, nor the examinations, nor the tutoring of the parents -That I did not obsess like today-.  images Our cousin Do, by inertia he would go up from his house on the banks of the ravine to spend the afternoon in our patio, in an old game that did not have to throw cashew seeds into a hole. Under the lush tamarind, the hours passed without anything happening in that dusty courtyard. Whoever put in more seeds, earned more.

-Wilfedooooooooooo !!!!

It was all that our friend occupied to collect his gain, to shake the dust off his navel and to throw himself downhill before the Aunt Leda He would say his second Wiiiiilllll !!! Which already in combo insurance included a punishment.

Six years ago, email was the way to let you know that you had won an award at the Be Awards. Everybody we expected That Juan, with his official parsimony, warned that we were very close, that we were finalists, that we did not dream but did not despair, that we were winning.

Now, in the Be Inspired 2010, the articles that the package brings are similar, quite common, though not all:

  • A reprint of "The Year in Infrastructure"Which will be in my bookseller for about ten years,
  • A fine pen with allusive serigraphy, which will go to my daughter's collection for 5 years, While becoming adolescent And send it to the box of cursilerías,
  • Una Pintosa Hard paste book that does not make me want to scratch, I would like to keep it in the collection, but my son will surely break in a week with his Awesome drawings,
  • A magazine with the event schedule that is discarded in three days.
  • And a leaf that says to the letter:

Yes sir, social networks have come to change the way we communicate. Like my aunt's pitiful scream when she called Wilfredo, The warm greeting of Jeff Thurston who Announced on Vector1 has sounded before the event starts. The representative of social media, -What is your name?- It will do the same with what guest magazines do, some with many years of importance, other fans who have positioned ourselves in our niche. Every laugh and tear from the Bentley brothers, from the sponsors, from the winners and even this entry will sound on twitter.

To date I have come to understand half of the business model of Facebook, and more or less I imagine where it goes with its Internet of people. I still had a hard time chewing the business logic of feeding silly virtual chickens. But understanding twitter seems more complicated, we digest it when we see it working here, although in common sense no one can imagine where a service will go that all it does is that:

Tiwt!

Twit!

Twit!

It is just what my aunt did, to make a cry, that was different from ours when we claimed because my brother always did -And at the same time- cheat. But it worked, and in the same way it happens with Twitter, because science is not in the bizarre sky blue bird, but in the authority that the one who launches it has. When Dell, Bentley, CNN, Univision and other large companies put a celestial bird in the footer, we understand what the potential of this microblogging service means, which came to put more use to the symbols at @ and numeral #.

It is common now, that famous people of this social medium are mentioned with an @ before. Although in a great majority, Twits! Are useless warnings from mobile phones, with bedrooms Controversial, Autosam and people making noise for every gas they release. And not only for twitter but for the many that have come out as the annoying Buz of Google!. But the ingenuity of the creator of twitter will remain that: the common sense of life applied to a short form that can hold up to 140 characters. A simple twit! which turns into a scream when a user with 50,000 followers does it.

This is life, changing, shocking from the start for those of us who one day use AutoCAD 11 on a 286, with a black background and offensive orange letters. But that's how these trends are, unpredictable at the beginning and predictable at the end, as the one in this post will be:
