  • Evan Williams on listening to Twitter users | Video on TED.com

    Pretty impressive. It's not that Twitter has any real intrinsic value, though. Comparatively speaking, of course. It's that a large number of dumb people decided this fits their intelligence level and now all use it at once. The power of Twitter comes from the power of stupid... more

    Acho que este é um TED que vale a pena guardar, como um marco do início de uma idéia: Twitter, como foi idealizado e como os usuários estão moldando o seu desenvolvimento. Um exemplo de co-criação. Clap, clap

    Pretty impressive. It's not that Twitter has any real intrinsic value, though. Comparatively speaking, of course. It's that a large number of dumb people decided this fits their intelligence level and now all use it at once. The power of Twitter comes from the power of stupid people in very large numbers. A formidable power, to be sure. 140 characters is just a dumb artificial constraint when you boil it down. As a communication service and medium, Twitter is intrinsically even less than just plain text messaging! Yet somehow, people like their dumb constraints. They want to follow rules. Even if the rules are just compromises for their stupidity. That feels comfortable for them.

    Twitter should be more shocked of the fact that they ever threw at all

    Evan William's intro to Twitter does a wonderful job to show the bigger impact that this "seemingly trivial" service provides in addition to the power of following your hunches
