:-) sometimes we think we’re explaining things to 10-year olds. As you say, they understand already. The people we land up explaining to is ourselves.

Nice thought-provoking post, as always. Fortunately, these days, I don’t think you have to work too hard to explain these things to a 10 year old. This generation expects any and all resources (especially games and interactive groups such as “Club Penguin”) to be online. It’s the way they’re learning to live.

I also agree, well in principal with twitter. It’s a great way of communicating with people you know, but I do find that sometimes you have to trawl through a lot of rubbish to find valued information. It can get abused by people; maybe it’s just the company I keep.

Overall, a great tool and it’s great to integrate and play about it.

thanks for your comments everyone. Ayan, you should set up a business selling the prints above. You have a great gift. I know I would buy them! Seriously.

After so many days, I could read the post. I do not know much about twitter. But your post is very interesting indeed which forced me to open twitter on a separate tab of IE.

Will do a bit research… :)

And keep writing mate..

I think you have summed it up well here with these 2 photos! I have been using twitter for nearly 6 months now but still would have no idea how to explain it in a couple of sentances!

Love the pix but disagree. Most of my twitter followers aren’t ‘friends’ as would be depicted in the picture. That’s more what my Facebook status updates & activity are like. I find Twitter to be a bit more tribal. Everyone has a tribe that they speak to and interact with but at different levels. Still don’t know how to explain to a 10-yr old.

When I first used Twitter, it was a collection of people I knew (those I followed)

Now most of my time is spent reading tweets based around subjects (# tagged ‘channels’, or just keywords), so as an example, but without elucidation, I currently follow

gaza
#cloudinterop
tweetdeck
spelunky
#coml

Maybe its still an adda, but more focused on content than connection.
