If we didn't grasp the idea that TIME Magazine was attempting to stay relevant when they announced they were going mobile* it became more clear when they ran the very current article: Why Everyone's Talking about Twitter
"The chatter about Twitter escalated into a virtual roar two weeks ago during the South by Southwest multimedia festival in Austin, Tex., when the barebones service owned by Blogger founder Evan Williams, 34, was named the best blogging tool and attendees used it to meet up at parties."
"Since then, the fawning attention to the seven-month-old service has come full-circle as reviewers have begun to realize how boring most people's lives really are . . . Twitter has been the top term on blog search engine Technorati for the past two weeks."
Time gets it - kinda. CNN & Fox News. The Wall Street Journal gets it. And it was the WSJ that reports that wannabe President, Senator John Edwards get it as well.
"For the John Edwards presidential campaign, last week was, as usual, busy. There was a college rally on Tuesday, speeches to firefighters and boilermakers on Wednesday, a swing through New Hampshire on Thursday and then a three-city tour on Friday."
"We know all this not from news accounts, but from Mr. Edwards himself, via his postings on Twitter.com."
Who's going to be next in the presidential race, the main stream media, or your very own family to "get it?" Talk about spreading in a viral way; the Twitter effect is a classic.
