Microblogs are the fastest mass public media.
About the potentiality of microblogging
I was reading a blogpost that put forward a few usages of microblogs:
"[...] a few uses can be envisaged:
1 Daily tips and tricks: energy saving, use of a software package, … But consider, how quickly will you run out of steam?
2 Quick reporting from a roadshow, tradeshow, … Microblogging can be easily done from mobile devices. It allows you to communicate broader about your event for the folks not there, while you are busy with the event.
3 Information during a crisis, when aid workers have essential information, but no time.
4 Animate events, such as a conference or trade fair, showing announcements of participants on a giant screen."
I added this comment to this article:
Microblogs can offer a place for good ideas you don't have the time for yourself, insights, notes, links, quotations.
Microblogs can offer a way of knowing things because someone you know, knows about them and share them on their microblogs.
Microblogs can pass an message worldwide within 5 minutes: they are the world first global instant mass media.
You find microblogs in English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, German, Polish, Dutch and probably also some other languages as well.
For the first time in history any one can follow the news in any place they like directly using microblogging account of people living over there.
It could be worthwhile to look upon microblogs as looking upon newspapers, radio stations and televion channels.
What's happening to people in New York right at this moment ? just read some microblog posts and you have a nice idea of it.
