    Twitter is a revolution in and of itself. Reality tv shows first began feeding our hunger to "always know" what people are doing. The develops of twitter were genius to capitalize on it. I think it will affect our world in a profound way that is yet to be seen.

    Twitter is not the symbol, but the means to advance a cause --- a modern day 'underground railroad' or resistance network of WWII, Twitter will let voices of the oppressed be heard. I believe we have only begun to see its influence.
