I'm not much of a twitter user but the uptake in the general public in the UK in the last two weeks is crazy - its gone from no-one to everyone in the space of a week.
Personally I think there was some kind of internal BBC briefing about using twitter for publicity - then the radio 1 jocks logged profiles all in the same weekend, started talking about it daily the week after and so started a snowball from the publicity.
Could that explain some of it?
- revelude 18y agoIts everywhere right now, not just the YooKay. This week alone, I've seen Twitter stories in most major and local newspapers that I read. Hell, one of my professors uses it as a primary distribution point for assignments and notes... for a Master's level class.
