I have to admit I am very slow to the whole Twitter phenomenon even for an Australian which is itself fairly laggard in terms of its embrace of the [new] social media. This talk on Ted by Twitter Co Founder Evan Williams is short and sweet but he portrays its uses as being of profound potential. I have to say it is almost moving to hear of some of the ways users are not only using the medium but shaping it to form a truly user empowered means of distributing and sharing information.
