I have had <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/regularguy\" target=\"_blank\">a Twitter account<\/a> for a few months now and have mixed feelings about the service. It&#8217;s kind of cool to follow updates from some people and organizations, but it also seems silly a lot of times, especially since some people &#8211; and I am guilty of this &#8211; use Twitter to update their Facebook status. I follow some of the same people on both sites so it&#8217;s kind of redundant.<\/p>\n<p>As Leitch compares and contrasts Twitter with the late 1990s tech companies that imploded, he also also looks at how the sharing of information has changed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Are we really becoming a nation of people who reflexively share information with everyone the minute we have it? We might be. Twitter has no choice but to hope so. They might be right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leitch goes to examine how the plane crash in the Hudson proved this as eyewitnesses provided &#8220;tweets&#8221; with information and photos almost right away. The article then goes on to examine the difficulty of that turning into a money-making venture.<\/p>\n<p>My one complaint about the article is that Leitch has, at his fingertips, an example of why Twitter faces an uphill climb. Sure, a guy used Twitter to circulate a pretty powerful photo of passengers waiting to get rescued from the Hudson River. The picture got lots of publicity, but no one made any money.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few weeks later, a guy (or woman, not sure) sold <a href=\"http:\/\/image.examiner.com\/images\/blog\/wysiwyg\/image\/phelpsbong.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">a photo of Michael Phelps taking bong hit<\/a> in South Carolina. Again, lots of publicity, but also a financial transaction. While a bunch of us might be sharing info virtually, there is still something to be said about good old-fashioned newspapers, even those who sleazily pay for photos to stir some controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Like Leitch, I have rambled (although not as eloquently) and don&#8217;t have much of a point except that Twitter really does have an uphill climb, but it is completely out of their hands. They can try and develop a revenue model to make money, but there are existing technologies, some of them really old, which already have that going for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Leitch, normally known for his snarkiness at the great sports blog Deadspin, has a great article about Twitter at New York Magazine, where he serves as a contributing editor.
