Are You A Twitter Artist?
So. Are you a Twitter artist?
Twitter is a new medium. No question.
And like any medium, people can use it to create art and build community.

Think 1922, Paul Klee.
It’s no coincidence that Twitter came to be in an era of economic uncertainty.
Many use this simple new tool to build a community around ideas and emotions. They’re reaching out to others. They’re expressing themselves. They’re creating new social groups.
These people are the Twitter Artists.
When centralized mass media outlets cherry-pick stories to tell us how others are feeling, we are often led to believe these outlier feelings are mainstream and normal.
But when we read first-person narratives of the life that occurs in between the big stories, we tend to see a more finely nuanced portrait.
Twitter artists provide this nuance. Tweet by tweet, they create a portrait. Their perspectives provide a balance.
Are you a Twitter artist? Or do you know someone who is? Who are they?

I can’t wait to see how Twitter turn their brand equity and traffic into money.
If I were them, I’d come up with some sort of Adsense-like program with revenue share to the Twitter page owner and sell small and tasteful banner ads on profile pages at a cost per impression and a cost per click.
