The Future of Twitter

Our Topic

Here’s one more of our big ideas from the 25 big ideas from my new book: What the #$%?! Is Going On?

In this Podcast Episode

This big idea is about the Future of Twitter. In particular, we consider the emergence of The Internet of Everything. When this article was first written way back in 2009 (a lot’s happened in the past five years!) the Internet of Things hadn’t really emerged as a significant trend.

So, in this episode we share:

  • A little Twitter history – where did it come from and which technology did it mimic?
  • Twitter’s roles a real time news source
  • We share the secret to Twitter’s success – how have they been able to successfully innovate consistently over time?
  • We comment on Twitter’s IPO
  • And, where to next? How Twitter could be the key to the Internet of Everything.
