Twitter Fight! (kinda)

Jump to Comments

If nothing else, Twitter continues to bring out the strong opinions.  AdRants has a nice overview of the current war of words (here, here) between “marketing guru” Seth Godin and blogger Ryan Kuder.

It’s fascinating to see how Twitter evolves - since it is basically a completely open communication forum it is up to the users to decide what is deemed “acceptable behavior.”  I’ve already witnessed, and been a part of, admonishing what was perceived as a misuse of Twitter - mostly when people posted what amounted to unsolicited sales pitches or links to products/services (i.e. spam).

We’ll have to wait and see if Twitter collapses under the weight of it’s own openness or if it is able self-regulate itself into a fruitful community.
