The only issue with using "new mode of communication" to try to convince someone to use a service is that a new way of communicating appeals to people who are on the edge, but won't appeal to a widespread audience who might say "I don't need a new mode of communication, my current ones are working just fine."
It is a good point that twitter is revolutionizing gatherings of large groups of people (like at tradeshows and conferences) - maybe that is the way that it will get widespread adoption. Twittering at ballgames or concerts with lots of consumers? It's a possibility.
- fiaz 19y agoResistance to "new things" is always the signature of something interesting. (I don't need a "word processor", my type writer is just fine; or I don't need a "copying machine", the world runs on carbon copy; or the best -- we don't need a "telephone", the telegraph is far superior!). There is power in the chaotic nature of Twitter. I believe that a higher level of organization is about to emerge soon from the bedrock of what it currently is.
