Like falling in love, providing signals meant for sharing is normal and natural. We have to start thinking of tweets as the knowledge worker’s pheromones. Signalling. Alerting. Marking out “territory”. Warning off. Pointing towards food or shelter. Looking for relationship. Sometimes preparatory, sometimes catalytic, sometimes just plain old informative.
Interesting aspect of what Twitter, blogging and social computing really are. Maybe the metaphor of the common brain some people think we are emerging into is exaggerated. Maybe we are just heading towards one giant ant colony... Whatever the real difference is?
