Dear Friends
The significance of Twitter, as a 21st century communication medium,
is underlined by the use of this technology by President Obama during
his highly successful and ground-breaking campaign. From Davos in
Switzerland to TED in California, 2009 has been a Twittering year! It
was possible to get up-to-the-minute news, views, thoughts and
observations about each and every main panel -- as well as
simultaneous panels in other rooms -- from Twitter messages in real
time. Further, ATCA was able to ask questions and influence dialogue
in many panels via Twitter.
The Twitterverse (Twitter Universe) is metamorphosing the opportunity
for Socratic dialogue in the 21st Century and points towards the
future of niche and mass communication as well as breaking-news,
reporting, analysis and executive decision making. This is precisely
the reason why ATCA Open is embracing Twitter wholeheartedly.
