Twitter Me This

Regular readers will know that here at FishbowlNY we are big fans of the Twitter &#151 we like to think of it as a pocket-sized version of us you can take with you wherever you go.

Well the folks at Business Week have taken it a step further. Their recent story about Twitter was actually written in conjunction with Twitter readers. A rep from the magazine tells us that senior writer Stephen Baker “posted the first 140 characters of his article via his Twitter stream last week, allowing people to correct his chunks or write what they thought should be the next one.” (Puts a whole new spin on user-generated content.)

The resulting article queries whether the micro-blogging platform, which has grown “far beyond its circles of bleeding-edge tech enthusiasts and hard-core social networkers,” will soon be in the position to challenge online networking titans like Facebook and MySpace. In the meantime, you can find us here, and TVNewser here.
