Twitter Made Relevant
Just when the air was filled with sneering and parodies of Twitter and the whole Twitter culture, the Iranian revolution or student uprisings or whatever the hell it all is, came along, complete with Iranian twitter updates and a Twitter war between Ahmadinejad loyalists and Mosavi supporters, not to mention bots and all sorts of random wackiness, to make sure that Twitter’s claim to relevance could no longer be denied. Is Twitter actually relevant? Not really. Any system that’s based around 140 character updates is going to be fundamentally silly, even if it isn’t fronted by a bluebird and Ashton Kutcher. But none of that really matters, because relevant people actually began making use of it for something relevant, and the silly tool proved useful for quick updates of a mini-war. Which now defacto makes it relevant.
