Looks like Youtube, twitter, and facebook have decided to explore the synergies of overlapping their social media
This is an exciting initiative that will allow RSS feeds from either site, to appear on each others site.
commentators rushed to explain why this is so significant:
'now we'll be able to broadcast your favourite tweets into an animated YouTube video for others to read and comment on .. and tweet back in the mix'
'like WOW ...that really changes the game'
'the convergence of social media is just so exciting ... can't wait to explore the synergies here'
'the future is here - its just not evenly distributed : but this is like a meme from the future'
'forget Web 2; this is Web X; where X iterates so quickly its like a singularity'
its expected that the new site might be called YouTwitFace which also created excitement:
'it just captures so perfectly how these early adopters are changing the world'
'cyber pioneers is so last century - but youTwitFace just expresses the niche i want to carve out for myself!'
several academics also expressed interest -
'i have several phd students exploring identity formation in this new hypermediated cultural space, using recursive discourse analysis' said one
(several listeners nodded - 'oh yeah, recursive DA - thats kinda cool' tweeted imaTwFa)
and although some foresaw a future where nobody, like, reads more than 140 characters at a time, there is just no reasoning with such a profoundly deep movement
