NPR Weekend Edition:
Scott Simon, Andy Carvin, Daniel Schorr
...Twittering for the cross-generation, cross-media communication win.

Just got done listening to the trio above talking about Twitter on NPR -- fascinating stuff. See a video of the elder Schorr (I mean that in a good way!) and Scott Simon Twittering.

Daniel, as usual, nailed it right out of the gate, comparing Twitter to the days in Rome when folks could stand up in the marketplace and shout out the latest news for all to hear -- this new service is certainly that, and more. Think a global marketplace, and anyone can subscribe to any town center/crier they wish.

Is Twitter the Tower of Babel V2.0? Let's hope God is too old to catch up to Mr. Schorr and company to put an end to this cross-generation, cross-media, cross-WORLD communication tool. Overdoing it here? Maybe. But, the comparison fits.

You can follow me @tmclain and see our work using Twitter for company communications and user interaction @ProQuest. All of my online marketing work as Marketing Manager there (ProQuest is a provider of online research tools for schools, libraries, universities, and businesses) at proquestk12.com (my focus) and proquest.com (company site).

Finally, don't miss out on anything going on via Twitter. Go to search.twitter.com and type in a keyword/name, etc. and see who's talking about what, right... now.
