My tech thought for the day…

It’s amazing that people use to complain about the drawback of email not being in realtime and how it could “stiffle” a conversation.

Then somebody invented instant messaging, and realtime communication was born. Alas, immediate communication with your subject was possible and information could be conducted at the speed of light.

Then Twitter came along… some people use it for “real-time” communication, but if you think about it, it’s almost the opposite of IM’s. Sometimes slow, you don’t always receive an immediate response, sometimes your message gets lost in the flow of things, and you can never tell the other person’s status.
