Five to six years from now, if Twitter survives, there should be more editing power available to the original poster. That’s what I would expect. If Twitter has not changed or provided any ‘fine tuning’ controls to the poster, a rival company may come along with these features, making Twitter into the MySpace Ghost Town of tomorrow. Rupert Murdoch made the mistake of buying MySpace after interest in it had peaked. He spent over $580. million, only to sell it for $35. million. Mistake were made in this new form of media.
But in the meantime, you can sit back and laugh at NYPD for tripping over its own shoelaces!
I hope it doesn’t get like that. I’m glad people are free to add what they want to posts like that. If not, we’d have nothing but pics of people shaking hands with cops, and there would be no national dialog about police brutality like we had today.
