It was used pretty effectively for the launch of Aion, the new MMO from NCSoft. It was actually nice to follow the community liaison on Twitter and get short, to-the-point updates on server status, problem resolution and current events without having to resort to the message boards on any particular site. Not having to wade through the nerdrage to try to find a few tidbits of information was pretty great. Also, if you tweeted at him, he tweeted back answers. It was effective, efficient communication. I'm not sure that's ever been said about Twitter, so I figured I'd say it here. (I must admit that I will never 'tweet' myself. I figure no one needs a chronicle of my life or doings and I am far too lazy to keep up with it.) I disdained Twitter until recently.

You tweet at them. You retweet each other. It's a big happy Smurf village." I sincerely hope it lasts and flourishes in that way. I am also a "light user" of Twitter however friends and family who use it more frequently enjoy its simplicity. My general concern however, is that despite the continuing expulsion and growth of different Social Networking tools and Technology as a whole, many people (especially children) are unaware of any potential risks on many of these "mediums". I think people should obtain or at least be provided at least a basic idea of how the entire process works so they know how to protect themselves and their families while enjoying the benefits of this (Twitter) and other networking avenues online. I run an organization which I intend to use as a tool for disseminating information about the Pros and Cons of these sites and other networking and social networking tools. I honestly hope that with sufficient enlightenment, people will become less vulnerable as subjects for online Vagrants. This my objective, as stated above (providing information through my organization), is in part what has attracted me to your blog posts. Now I stay because of the wit and light hearted but incisive articles I read here. PS: Your last paragraph was hilarious.... your blog will emerge as the key to the Internet future. Aye, aye :) Interesting piece! LM http://theblindspotsofgod.wordpress.com/ What a happy scenario you have described "People tweet at you. You tweet at them. You retweet each other.
