I wonder if I gathered 100 of my neighbors…

all of whom (are) quite intelligent, armed with all kinds of the latest devices (many, many people (have) iPhones, for example) and not sluggish about technology

…if any of them would even know who Kara Swisher is. Or care.

I don’t think the concept of Twitter is quite as foreign as many people make it out to be — and certainly no more foreign than the idea of “instant messaging” was not all that long ago.

    14 months ago (right around the time Twitter exploded, but I'd already been using for ~6 months) I was speaking with a friend of mine who lives in Europe. He remarked at the time, "Twitter is funny. It's really just you Americans finally getting a handle on SMS".

    What's "new" and foreign about Twitter, and the things it enables, is the fact that it's a truly mobile/portable app. Beyond that, the interactions aren't new, they're just more raw because they are very *now*.
