Twitter Me This

So, the latest explosion in social networking is happening on Twitter.

Happening "to" Twitter?

"With" Twitter?

Whatever qualifying word is used, it's happening.

It's not that Twitter just started. It's been around for a couple of years. But at some point in the not-so-distant past, it reached the Tipping Point.  And in the very recent past, there was a battle between Ashton Kutcher and CNN to be the first to reach a million followers (Ashton won), followed in the same week by Oprah signing up for a Twitter account (and posting her first Tweet on her show... which also featured Ashton Kutcher).

When we look back on these days, we'll either say, "Oh, I remember Twitter" or "Yeah, I remember when Twitter first became big... and look how much it's in our lives now".

In any event, whether the future is Twitterless or Twitterful, surely there will be many more methods for connecting in many more ways in the future.
