There has been made a first cartoon about twitter (twouble with twitter) and how it affected social behaviour and relationships. Now there is a sequel and it is again very funny. The main character acquired now 3 followers on twitter, and furthermore there is a lot of mockery of the celebrities on twitter. watch it and pay attention to Britney spears, whose manager is managing the account. I wish to refer to the belgian equivalent, Natalia, in my post: Famous and twittering.
To which point turns the debate: Twitter is for me all about authenticity. To know someone on the other end of the line is, really who he clames he is. And whether you’re a celebrity, or a company, or just good old you, authenticity remains the key. I suppose people also demand a certain level of authenticity in the people you follow, or is it irrelevant? I only except this from newschannels, where I deliberatly follow their newsfeed.
What’s your opinion? Feel free to comment.
