Start Things

I finally signed up for Twitter yesterday, its addictive, and it made me think a lot about why it has become popular so quickly, I think there are three big things.

1. Its mindless. “What are you doing?” Twitter doesn’t make its users think hard to interact.

2. Its ubiquitous. Easily available everywhere: IM, Mobile, Web

3. Barrier to interaction is almost zero. Easy as popping open an IM window, it takes a couple seconds.

I’m sure the fact that people are naturally voyeuristic doesn’t hurt either
