What is Twitter? An analogy
Twitter is analogous to 2-way radio. Many of the same dynamics that apply to radio communications are also applicable to how Twitter allows its users to communicate. Radio communications gives everybody in the group the ability to listen in. The ambient radio chatter gives all members of the group situational awareness of what is happening throughout the organization.
While radio carries voice communications, Twitter carries text and background awareness of what is happening in the network.
