Google Tech Talk April 30, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Laura Fitton Headlines alternately shout how Twitter is a Google Killer, and how it is a narcissistic flood of updates about what people you don’t care about had for lunch.

Twitter is fun if you keep it simple and keep your followers and following exclusive to close friends and families. But massive informations coming from all kinds of people, news, thing—whatever, where eve, whoever can be overwhelming. I can see how this in the future can created a whole new generation of anti-socials who just would rather spent time following all the comments on twitter. If smart, keep twitter simple.

Twitter will be on serious decline within 6 months and won’t even exist at all two years from now. Not because a bigger company such as Gooogle bought them but because everyone will realize its stupid and the fad factor will be gone.

just watch, what google wave does with twitter before this year ends… but it’s never been about competition, google want’s activity on the web, using google tech (almost unavoidable by now) so it’s a win-win : )

ABSOLUTELY! This is basic presentation technology that Google needs to get up to speed on.

Great presentation (apart from the redundant slides), and interesting to hear a lay persons POV of this quiet revolution we are going through.

Twitter is SLOW!

GoogleTalks can improve the video quality with better microphone placement so the questions from the audience can be heard. You could try to have the presenter repeat the question but that makes them work when it could be done another way.

well, I find good links on Delicious. Rather than waiting for others to follow me. Twitter is great for someone who has a lot of followers.

Damn, this bitch is hooked on Twitter as if it was heroine. Chill out, lady. “I don’t buy anything without asking Twitter first.” Fuck, she probably pays more attention to this than she pays to her husband.
a1mint | August 24th, 2009 at 4:11 am #
Ok, she says it looks really stupid, I think it’s really stupid, so wtf is twitter about.
All I can do is try to “find people”. Ok then what? Find who, why?
Why can’t I search for things people typed in to their status.
What in the freaking hell is twitter about? It’s driving me IIIINNNSSAANNNEEE - HELP!

Threat? haha, they’re kicking Google’s ass!
lisathorell | August 24th, 2009 at 4:11 am #
Great scott! An interesting nest of nay-sayers here for perhaps obvious reasons given the locale of her presentation.

This would be a useful tool for fantasy theme analysis of new streams such as was envisoned by Bormann at the U of MN. Useful in marketing and politics even legal.
