Microblogs are the fastest mass media in the world, winning it from radio in speed and global audience.
Therefore, I do believe they will change the world just like writing did, just like printing did, just like radio and television did, just like blogs and websites did in the past.
Remember that Roman society was independent upon the Roman Highway network for the travel of important information from anywhere up to Rome ?
Microblogs are the first global instant mass media.
Earlier, I did already formulate
my viewpoint on microblogs.
