Twitter enables a call to action in real time during crisis. It establishes an open,and global community, unlike facebook. On twitter you interact with people who stimulate and share common interests, and, at least, common motivation to see & learn more than what's in front of them. Twitter succeeded when Wave did not; one, because it already established credibility and users already built a follow base they most likely didn't want to lose. Also, like Coca Cola, McDonalds, FedEx - they were the first, and established a new standard and brand loyalty. Even William actually states that twitter began organically; he had no idea it would grow into what it is now. You can see him present here at a TED conference: Twitter Founder Evan Williams at TED 09 Video http://ow.ly/2svVE http://ow.ly/2svVE Great presentation! Hope my 2 cents helped! :) esta
