Evan Williams : The voices of Twitter users

Evan Williams at TED2009  (transcript)
The voices of Twitter users
Summary
This talk was told by a co-founder of Twitter excitedly. Still, there were people who didn't know Twitter was based around a very simple and seemingly trivial concept. In 140 characters or less, people can send messages on what they are doing and people who are interested in them can get those. The fundamental idea is that Twitter lets people share moments of their lives whenever they want and feel connections in touch, despite a distance, in real time. It made many people including me excited.  It led to volunteers, businesses, raising money, even politicians started to use Twitter, and building an application programming interface. It's spreading rapidly and excitedly and people and even cofounders had a hope what will next with Twitter fascinatingly.

I was encouraged to know that there were not only Japanese people but also many people in the world who studied English from Twitter. No one had thought that the platform was filled with not healthy conversations in the near future.
