A sense of permanence. I had a strange thought though. For those that haven't been exposed to Twitter, tweets are like a foreign language. Tiny bursts of news and exclamations, strange "@" symbols and cryptic links. It's obviously chatter but the connection between @ names is unclear and mysterious. It's not until you throw yourself into the culture that the connections make sense and become alive and beautiful. In 100 years, I think Twitterville will be the Rosetta Stone and help explain some of this strange culture. There’s something very comforting about being included in the LC. A sense of permanence.
