On one-hand Twitter is a platform for the trivial. A time-suck. A platform to distract and, at the same time, isolate ourselves from subjects out of sync with our own worldview. On the other, it’s a proven platform that carries incredible power to reshape how we learn, interact and share with communities online. For marketers and media-makers, it’s hard to think of a recent innovation that’s altered our landscape more than the simple 140 character platform. And for that I’m skewing to the love side of the spectrum.
