Friday afternoon thoughts at Twitter
Author: NiamhThe idea of Twitter employees having a set time to express their thoughts on the company explains in some way why Twitter has become so popular. After all it’s all about communications and the staff can say what they like about Twitter and tweets. The fact that they do so each in his or her own individual ways must give even more ideas to the bosses who listen in on this Friday afternoon event. So if they come up with another innovative way of getting our thoughts across we’ll know where they got the idea.
We all know the best ideas are simple and what could be simpler than letting people express their feelings to anyone who wants to hear them? The fact that what you can say is limited should be an idea copied by every chairperson of every meeting all over the world. Think of the hours it would save if everyone had to get their point across in 140 characters. Reports, comments or suggestions would have to be snappy and to the point.
There’s only one thing certain about twitter and tweets and that is that it is a very human activity. It has the world talking and the fact that some of the tweets are stupid only reflects on the way we are and what we say to each other anyway. Whether it will be a commercial success is still in doubt. Whatever about that it has touched a chord with us and made us want to answer that question “What are you doing?”. Well obviously we’re tweeting or maybe twittering of course!
