Fred Wilson's tweetstorm about tweetstorms
- 1/ The thing that's interesting about #tweetstorms is that they turn Twitter into a blogging platform with several unique characteristics
- 2/ Instead of prose the posts are bursts of unique thoughts in sequence
- 3/ And each thought has its own comment thread
- 4/ Like @tumblr but few other traditional blogging platforms, Twitter comes w/ a built in follow model which insures your posts will be read
- 5/ But possibly the most interesting & unique aspect of #Tweetstorms is you are posting in real time and the reader experience is real time
- 6/ Which creates this anticipatory reading experience that is unlike anything I've experienced in online publishing
- 7/ Like @replies and #hashtahgs, #tweetstorms are emergent behavior created by users (hattip to @pmarca )
- 9/ If #teeetstorms were more discoverable, consumable & permanent, @twitter would have an entirely new product and mkt oppty that is native
- 10/ EOTS (end of #tweetstorm)
- #### I would be remiss...
- If I didn't mention "Little Pork Chop", the easiest and most powerful way to tweetstorm!
- It's fun too. :kiss:
