Twitter & The Arts: How Twitter is Being Used in The Arts Community
Posted by peter in Social Media, Twitter on August 19th, 2009
This was a discussion that was broadcast on NPR’s Morning edition about twitter and the arts. Bill Wasik, an editor at Harper’s and an author of a book on internet culture had this to say about twitter during the interview:
“The idea of Twitter is it’s a giant party and you can have as many conversations at the same time as you want with however many people you want, and you essentially sit there and let all the conversation wash over you,” he says. “It’s very emblematic of the age. Whether it’s going to stick around forever, I’m still unconvinced.”
Listen to the full conversation here:
