Norah O'Donnell is talking about twittering on MSNBC. Mike Allen wrote an article on it. There are lists of the most influential Twitterers. Ana Marie Cox has 79,000 followers. So I give: Twittering is the next big thing. It's the new blogging. It's like Vampire Weekend combined with Watchmen dusted with affordable hydrogen energy technology. And unlike with blogs, the MSM seems determined to get there first. But everyone seems to Twitter differently. Mike Allen is running a pithy newsfeed. Ana Marie Cox relies on an oddly compelling mixture of snark and reporting and personal trivia and public introspection. Dave Weigel has the advantage of being absurdly funny. And me? I still confused by the form. I'm mixing whining about Twitter with occasional article links. Oh, and I provided never-before-tweeted insight into the details of the TAP vision plan (it sort of sucks!). But Mark Bittman follows me -- Twitter is, I guess, the ultimate in Minimalist communication -- which probably means you should too. It's the future, you know.
