in The Race to 1,000,000 Followers Sends Twitter and Social Media into Relevance and Irrelevance on Brian Solis
Great post; you make some very relevant statements. There are two things I'm curious about.
1) What will be the impact (if any) of 'losing' the race to 1m followers on CNN? Does this cheapen their brand in any way? Their participation seemed like a cheap publicity stunt, and their actions /comments were fairly reactive to @aplusk's. They did not have a lot to gain by participating, and through this we found out that they did not own the @cnnbrk Twitter account until a day or two ago. Oh, they also lost -- slightly embarrassing, right?
2) Now that @aplusk and @cnnbrk have their 1m followers, what are they going to do with them? This could be the most interesting item to follow coming out of this story, because their actions will define whether this was a race to collect / cajole people, or part of a greater strategy to communicate with this audience in a new way. To your point, can you have intimate and connected conversations with a group of people the size of a small country? Clearly, you can. Can you sustain them, though? Not sure. Attention is easy to get and just as easy to lose 140 characters at a time.

in The Conservapedia has a Racist Agenda on Jack and Jill Politics
Thanks for bringing this to my attention (by way of Raw Story) but Big Deal and Who Cares?
If anything, this will make it easier to spot idiots in society: anyone who uses the Conservapedia as their source will instantly be exposed as a retard. This is also a project that will peter out in no time, collapsing under the weight of its own idiocy. It'll never go anywhere. Be content with that knowledge.
Anyway, let's get back to more useful pursuits, like getting the Chimpanzee impeached and then put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
