BusinessWeek on Why Twitter Matters

BusinessWeek has an interesting (to us) article on Twitter this week: "The key question today isn't what's dumb on Twitter, but instead how a service with bite-size messages topping out at 140 characters can be smart, useful, maybe even necessary."

My favorite part, though, is on page 11 of the slide show where they couldn't help asking: "About That Biz Plan?"

Twitter is an exemplar of the web as a "glimpse medium," in which the glimpsed element (thumbnail, text link, image, 140-character blurb) has not only personal meaning at that moment, but will also appeal to anyone else who might come across the same element, and click thereupon or not.

Brilliant Article, Thanks for posting. I Think It's The "open forum" of Twitter that makes it so appealing :) Great To Tweet You!

Twitter is so easy to use, Business Week could do an article about the "Mobile" posting next and it would be well received.
