Some people like to say Twitter is all about letting people know what you are doing at the moment, and, then make suggestions like: All that happens down here is: People telling other folks when they are taking a bath, going to the shopping mall, or what they will be having for supper. That's not the real power of Twitter at all, and, i would suggest: Those people know it too !!
From my perspective, and this cannot afford to be overlooked, Twitter really is about, and aparently does stand for Freedom of Speach. not only that, but unlike any other internet device, with Twitter you can reach a lot more people__with a lot less hassle than say...blogging at eather Myspace or Facebook; both at of which i hold accounts also. Don't get me wrong however, because i'm not saying there two accounts are worthless. They are not and have their place. However it is difficult to deni, Twitter is a whole lot better, and there's no crime in saying that.
The important thing i am saying here however is: There is no shock people in mass-media downplay Twitter. A.C. just proved that today in his battle against C.N.N. in a small but equally important way__by getting his 1 Million Followers. The fact is: mass-media is and probably always will be: Nothing more than a cult. Mass-media likes to say: They report the news people want to hear. What they forget to say is: As long as it isn't the whole truth. And although i am not proud to speak these words, but it is the simple truth: There can be no greater reason for Mass-media to downplay Twitter...than i myself. Anyone who has the will to read my web-page and connect the dots together, in spite of all the spelling mistakes__due to the fact that i didn't know how to scan the original letters properly way back then, knows mass-medid is more than willing to tuck it's tail between it's legs; if there is a possibility of things getting ugly__for one of it's own. Unfortunatly for the rest of us, there also seems to be a lot of profit by tucking&running for these people too.
I mean come-on! When this thing all started to happen for me all those meny years ago, eight years ago, i wrote to 60 Minutes, Bill Moyers, a number of Canadian like-minded shows, and, a whole host of others too numberious to mention here at this time. Not one other than W-Five or The Fifth Estate (Canadian) ever wrote back, as did the Ontario Primear of the time. The fact is: What i told these people, and now continue to tell the world, could have brought the house down for Mass-media; which is why they wanted nothing to do with me. In other words: i was denied by the very people who like to say they are there to surve us. I admit the Ontario Primear couldn't really do anything much, simply because it would have gone against his mandate; though he did say: i should find a lawyer because he understood i had a real case here. But for the most part, back then, these people were much happier trying to extinguish my very life, than continue allowing me to put the word out. Oprah was more content to remove her "open daily-journal" from Oprah.com, than to allow her troops to learn a bit of the nasty truth__when i was able to publish there, and, before she learned of The Minister of Cool. Government officials were happier to fraim me with criminal activities__instead of admit i had been working with the police to shut-down a crack-opperation in my building; than to let me publish in any small way The Truth.
Mass-media is a cult ! And this cannot be repeated enough times. Mass-media has allowed this world to to go to war, and probably open the Gates of Armageddion throug, George Bush, rather than to report the truth, allow it's Queen to stumble, and we learn of it's own complisity in this whole thing. I will not forgive Mass-media__even as the tears swell now in my eyes for what it has done. We have all been betraied by Mass-media, and, it has proven it's only intrest is it's own. It is no shock Mass-media downplays Twitter, because Mass-media downplays The Truth !!
This is the reason, in part, i post as: i-christ...because like the Real Christ, i too have walked into the Temple, and, found the need to overturn the tables. Like the Original & Only Christ, i too have been denied by the people who run this Temple called Mass-media. And there is no doubt if it had it's chance, i too would be nailed upon a cross__for nothing more than telling The Truth !!
So this too can never be said enough: Twitter stands for something important__more important than Mass-media ever will. Twitter is not only about what we had for dinner, which mall we are going to be at, or when we had our last bath. And i say this again__hardly able to prevent the new tears in my eyes__hardly able to there'fore able to even see the key-board. But i don't mind these tears, because they are tears of pride in what Twitter has done. And so i say it again: Twitter stands for and Twitter is Freedom of Speach. And in these dangerious times a little Freedom of Speach is not only a good thing, but something this world can always use.
i'll make it easy:
