Seeing how easy it has been to use Twitter for good has exposed the double-edged sword of how easy it could be to co-opt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think, like, Twitter is somewhat difficult sometimes, and it can be kind of negative.
Twitter is an amazing public tool with an incredible capacity for public good.
Twitter can be great and very bad.
If you use it intelligently, Twitter can be a form of engineered serendipity.
Twitter needs to continue being a good listener and recognize that the service has been redefined by lots of people, tweet by tweet, but also come up with its own priorities.
I think Twitter is great.
The first complaint we hear from everyone is: 'Why would I want to join this stupid useless thing and know what my brother's eating for lunch?' But that really misses the point because Twitter is fundamentally recipient-controlled - you choose to listen and you choose to leave. But you also choose what to put down and what to share.
I love Twitter! At first I made fun of it, because it is very narcissistic, and there's already so much narcissism flowing in this industry, I was like, 'Really, one more?' So I was against it at first. But I really love the idea of the direct connection - there's no middle man muddling it up.
On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions.
Twitter is not a business. I know its founders would like to think it is. It is, for the most part, a diversion.
