The next Twitter

Every once in a while I find myself sitting and wondering about how some of the most amazing creations came to us.  Though my calendar might not reflect it, my days are filled with email consistantly able to get to me through my phone, about 10 different moments during the day when I open up Facebook to see what is happening…and well…I am addicted to Twitter.  These things have changed the way I interact with almost everyone around me.

Last night I came across this great video, which is an 8 minute talk by Evan Williams.  This is the guy who created Blogger (blogspot.com) and Twitter.  Needless to say, the guy seems to have an ability to come up with some culture-changing ideas.  This video might not interest all of you, but for some it might mess with your thinking for the rest of the day.

Whether you like Twitter or not, what you have to know is that it is helping to change the way people interact with one another…and from this video we can tell that it is helping in ways the creator couldn’t even have first imagined. 

Everything in our culture moves so fast, so I have no doubt that in the years to come, something new will emerge as the next great thing.  I, with many others, are waiting for the Web 3.0 revolution.  I wonder how you, my friends, are engaging with these new mediums of connection?  Do you have some site or service that you are finding is revolutionizing the way you do life?  I’d love to hear what else is out there, what the next Twitter might be…
