Web 2.0 transformed from "an interesting phenomena" into "the way we live now"
Ryan Kuder was a typical Yahoo guy who often twittered his day asa matter of course. For the uninitiated this means he continued to send "tweets" in to social networking site Twitter. So for him when he was laid off it was no change in the routine for him to continue twittering his day, even though it was a bit different.
And it was noticed...
In his words:
Henry Blodget excerpted my day on Silicon Alley Insider. That story hit the top of Techmeme by Tuesday night. Yesterday, my layoff was on the front page of the LA Times print edition and it was reprinted in today's Merc. I started Tuesday with 87 followers on Twitter. By Wedensday night, I had over 400. We're just a few shy of 500 now. Hopefully one of you is hiring ;)Fascinating stuff. Where the daily drudge of the ordinary man becomes the news of tommorrow. Through no more than standard daily activities. The world is changing very quickly my friends, and I wonder how we are going to keep up.
Personally... I don't "get" the twitter thing. Seems like a lot of uneeded "noise" only to me. But others aparently do... maybe I should listen in for a while.
