The Real Value of Twitter To NASA’s Space Missions, Wired
“What better way to reach a multi-tasking, short-attention-spanned Gen Y’er than to limit your messages to 140 characters? I think my favorite NASA Baby Boomer reaction to Twitter (a micro blogging tool that lets you send 140 characters to subscriber’s Instant Messaging programs or cell phones) is, “Well, there is a technology that solves a problem I don’t have.”
Editor’s note: Yawn, yet another example of someone parsing new Internet capabilities (such as Twitter) into false dichotomiesas belonging to either Gen Y or Baby Boomers. This is getting old. Look at the most popular Twitter feeds. I can see a large number of authors/topics whose feeds are most certainly NOT being authored by someone from Gen Y. Can’t we all just get along and use these tools without applying an inaccurate litmus test?
