- 6. Biz Stone co-founder of Twitter “It seemed like only a small part of the twitter updates were actually answering the “What are you doing?” question, which are of the more personal, less newsworthy variety: “(…) a birds- eye view of Twitter reveals that it’s not exclusively about these personal musings. Between those cups of coffee, people are witnessing accidents, organizing events, sharing links, breaking news, reporting stuff their dad says, and so much more. The fundamentally open model of Twitter created a new kind of information network and it has long outgrown the concept of personal status updates”

Notas do Editor
- In short it’s characterised by interactions between users and features content generated by users. It effectively stacks on top of Web 1.0. Anyone remember the levels of engagement? Transitory Persistent Role-specific Self-expressive identification
