The ratio of emails to blogs+tweets (10.7^13 / 17.2^7) is staggering and scary. It means there are roughly 100,000 emails for every tweet or blog. Communication is far more likely to be private than public. Yes we *can* talk – but its not as good as an open conversation.
Can we talk openly ? Yes. Here blogs and tweets not only pass along good information to the many but allow for corrections and improvements. One tweet about “Flood rising Ceader Road, Grand Forks” is far more valuable than an email. That tweet can get a much better answer. Why? Because more people than those in the email list get the message.
Its also better than broadcasting or the news. Huh? Twitter and blogs are inter active. You can respond to them, unlike the news.
