ted.com — In the year leading up to this talk, the web tool Twitter exploded in size (up 10x during 2008 alone). Co-founder Evan Williams reveals that many of the ideas driving that growth came from unexpected uses invented by the users themselves.

Twitter is useless and pointless, and once people realize this, it'll be gone and forgotten.

its just one mega PR tool that every god damn PR agent uses.sad thing is, it doesn't even work. i stood 1st hand as my company tried to do this. Sad thing was, i got 2 of their articles on digg which i wrote for them, one reaching 1.5+k diggs, another 2+k, and boosted traffic by 500%. Twice.

An interesting talk. I didn't know Evan also created blogger.com. I'm working to find ways to help grandparents use technology such as twitter.

I was very impressed with how Mr Williams is letting the users have a say in new functionality, mainly the @USER functionality. If the users demand and will use something, this is much better than a company rolling out something and dictating what the user has to do.Mr Williams, my hat is off to you, Sir.

digg.com is full of f**king haters and only powerusers get attention. Much more useless than twitter.com And besides.. when was the last time digg.com got into TED or whatever. So shut the hell up digg.
