Tweeting in the World Wide Whirlpool
Yesterday, on Twitter, I was tweeting my own thoughts about my theory 'The World Wide Whirlpool" and using Twitter as a practical tool for online communication and/or social network. Following you will find sentence by sentence of my writings and tweets I sent out yesterday to my respectful followers. I just wanted to record my thoughts in this way and then doing this to my tweets today. I was writing my tweets in a way that for instance I am talking to my audience or speaking for a group of people informally. I didn't want to go into details because as you know we have a limitation of 140 characters for sending a tweet. If you go there and follow me and my tweets on my twitter account - http://www.twitter.com/taban - you will see while I was writing I had spelling and dictation errors. Well, English is not my native and first language, and that may happen even with native speaking not only in English, but in any other languages.
I noticed that tweeting in this way was a very creative and motivating activity. It was creative because I was actually WRITING, and it was motivating because people reacted with following me. My thoughts was traveling at the speed of light. Following you can find my tweets sentence by sentence altogether. I was writing about Tweeting in the World Wide Whirlpool:
In the World Wide Whirlpool, you have to be organized, confident and a good communicator - you have to be able to work as part of a team. I believe Twitter is still an ‘important tool’ for journalists, although some may call it a 'nightmare' or a 'fad'. Digital / social media has improved the range of sources available to journalists and researchers. Thanks God I live in this era ... The World Wide Whirlpool, is somehow my own analogy @webfaqt about the Internet and the digital media, some say it's like a car or a city.
Are you saying you cannot follow your friends' and followers' tweets no more, I say it's natural, you are in the World Wide Whirlpool. To survive in The World Wide Whirlpool, you just need to learn n move faster, to manage and handle your tools to get what you want. You say there are so many tweets, blog posts or articles out there that I want to read them right now but you've got no time to capture all. I simply say you are in 'the World Wide Whirlpool' pal! No escape from it if you use mobile phones or computers to connect or be connected. I simply say you are in 'the World Wide Whirlpool' pal! No escape from it if you use satellite dishes to get more info and watch TV channels. I am tweeting online what I think right now, I am sharing with you my thoughts, to say hey there! I'm here thinking, sharing and informing. To say simply that we are now in 'the World Wide Whirlpool'! I believe just right now more than one sixth of the world's population are somehow connected to this virtual world via computers n internet. To survive in your life and business, to survive in this World Wide Whirlpool, you have to master fast learning digital skills ... To survive, you have to master faster and wiser thinking, decision making, managing your time and capital, set your goals and move ahead.
Suppose you have the ability to travel at the speed of light, like photons. How can you control your direction n your landing at this speed? In the digital world, messages travel at the speed of light, in 'the world wide whirlpool' we have to learn where and how to land safe. Within our brain, we think and our thoughts travel at the speed of light, in the 'World Wide Whirlpool' we need to think the same way. Within our brain, we can make decisions instantly at the speed of light, in the 'World Wide Whirlpool' we need to decide the same way. And, we have to learn how to decide wisely: where to go, what to say, how to say, saying, which RSS to subscribe, which twitter to follow?
Twitter is a new media to broadcast our thoughts. Like any other online tools, we have to manage to use it wisely. By saying 'wisely' I mean exactly: showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment. Therefore, in using any online tools ... We need these elements: Experience, Knowledge, and Good Judgment. We have to ask ourselves: for instance, Is this twitter thing a suitable tool or media for me to broadcast my thoughts? Does it really work?
Are you following the 'News'? How do you interpret the word 'News'? Is this that I'm broadcasting, a piece of 'News'? No, but my Act maybe. In the 'World Wide Whirlpool', online people come and go, here and there, to expand their knowledge, experience to achieve a good judgment. By that, I mean, online people are not here and there to gather only news, they are here to communicate and gather knowledge and experience.
As far as I know, for a good judgment, we need precise observation, we need knowledge, experience, fairness, freedom and responsibility. Consider all these above-mentioned elements in a matter of seconds and tweet to the world, post to your blogs and participate in forums. Because, you are using a media to broadcast your observations, your feelings, your thoughts, your knowledge and your experience. The act is 'tweeting', but do all of us have the same 'freedom' of any biases or prejudice? Find out from where I am tweeting out! I hate being called 'anonymous'. I am from Iran, the beautiful Persia. The Persian Gulf, hey, look at some of these faces, prejudice: they may say: Just another jerk! But, I am a human being, or better to say, almost, I try to be one! I'm talking about 'a good judgment', read my previous tweets if you wish to find out more. I'm talking about 'the World Wide Whirlpool', read my previous tweets if you wish to find out more. The virtual world we are living in, today, I mean.
Online, I believe, we need a better understanding of words and concepts. We should pay attention to the technology, psychology, sociology .. You know, the web is a 'written' form of communication, so, we need to pay attention even to etymology - the history of words. Also many other sciences are involved in the virtual world, and that's the hard part or aspect of living or doing business online. I am saying if you want to succeed in the 'World Wide Whirlpool', you have to equip yourself with many skills, knowledge and experience. It is almost more than ten years that I am using Internet, reading, searching, talking, writing and teaching other fellow Iranians about it, and please let me say that it has been, is and will be really very hard to use all these tools, the digital media, to succeed and survive.
