[lbo-talk] About Twitter

[Joseph Catron]

I'm afraid I lack the scientific basis to write the historical article
that deserves to be written about Twitter, but isn't it one of the
best examples of anti-capitalist innovation coming full circle and
being fully adopted and marketed by capitalists? I distinctly remember
using its predecessor, the TXTmob technology developed and deployed by
the anarchist Institute for Applied Autonomy, at the Republican
National Convention in 2004. And how long did it take the convention's
funders (broadly defined) to catch on to this awesome new
revenue-producing concept?
