Radio Berkman 128: Tweeting a Dead Horse
Series: Radio Berkman
From: The Berkman Center for Internet and Society
Length: 00:30:39
The hype shows no signs of abating. Now that people have moved from just talking-about-Twitter, to the more meta talking-about-talking-about-Twitter, we here at Radio Berkman decided to take on the topic from our own perspective and see if there is possibly anything new left to be said about the popular microblogging service.
Turns out there is.
On today’s episode:
• An interview with @birdchick about Twitter’s corollaries in the natural world;

• An interview with @zephoria about ReTweeting, and stepping outside of the conversation on Twitter;

• A much anticipated debate on Twitter’s “revolutionariness” between the Berkman Center’s amazing summer interns. (To hear the full debate, click here.)
