Twitter freakin rocks

Ok, so I admit that sometimes I get like in a grumpy old man phase and I will refuse to try new things. Most of the time I am right, new things are weird and scary. But twitter is something I wish I had gotten the second it came out. It’s like old school IRC but the conversation is all around you, like walking into a loud room you can turn up or down. You can also really see the power of this, Jason Calacanis has amassed an army he calls the “JasonNation” and he makes them do funny stuff like add people on twitter and digg his SEO spam. I mean, he got 150 diggs on a spammy review in like 20 minutes.. if he could figure out a way to meter that flow so it looked like legit traffic he could DOMINATE the front page of digg.

Speaking of digg, the other cool thing I have now because of twitter is near daily live videos from kevin rose’s phone on qik. Pretty funny, almost makes me want to work in a dot com office again - wait no it doesn’t.
