Since its inception, our generation has struggled to pin down an answer to the question, What is Twitter? Ive seen attempts at describing Twitter as microblogging, a messaging platform, a broadcasting tool, a social network, an information network, an interest graph, and real-time communication. Twitter, itself, has used phrases such as, the world in your pocket, and more recently, a global town square.
That it hasnt (yet) been holistically and easily describable in a single phrase is part of the beauty of Twitter to me…
