Andrew,

Thanks so much for the write up and interview - it was a lot of fun and a good exercise in trying to define exactly what Mindshare represents and also what we intend for the future.

It's a very exciting project and I hope to see some of you here soon!

It is completely true that Twitter does not shine as a synchronized, results oriented commnications tool. However it doesn't need to to be on order to be useful. Sure, for immediate action a phone call, even and SMS, is more dependable. However, Twitter excels in the small niche I call personal newscasting. While I don't really care if you had a hazelnut latte I AM interested in some fact you just learned, a phrase you just coined or where the party is still rocking...

After I leave SXSW I'll probably turn off the SMS notifications,or perhaps I'll opt in to the convenience of quick, bite size knowledge or personal 'moment recording'. Not only did I learn that Eliot Spitzer liked prozzies today via Twitter but I also recorded a new dance move I coined: 'The Pope' and heard about a backdoor to the late night partying spot.

Can it feed me or keep me warm if Armageddon hits? No. But in the meantime it's a useful way to stay 'in the loop', share things and all with minimal effort...

Stan_Schroeder I absolutely agree with you, Douglas. But the fact is, people have started using Twitter for everything, and if you don't follow, suddenly you're out of the loop. Thus, I feel like I'm using a pocket knife to fix a car although I have a box of nice shiny new tools collecting dust.

Thanks for the in depth post!

I've recently returned from my own charitable mission (tuxedotravels.com) and have to say it's AMAZING how much can be accomplished for a surprisingly tiny amount in some of these places.

For example we bought fertilizer fofor an entire vietnamese village, shoes for an entire Kyrgyz orphanage and put a rehabilitated Nepalese sex-slave through school for a year - EACH FOR AROUND $100.

Of course there's MANY people that need help, but many hands make light work and it's wonderful to see organizations like KIVA and Microplace taking off!

Hooray for good people!
