How do people use Twitter? Aug. 2 discussion & update

Two items were discussed last evening.


1. Does the use of Twitter to post witty quotes/comment on plot while a user is watching a film count as part of INPUT #5 (Blather) or does it deserve a separate item number?

For now, GTEX moderators have decided that it should be 5 b) intelligent blather.

This may be upgraded to something--creation of cultural content?--in future if observations warrant.

2. Mathew Ingram @mathewi posted the following observation on Aug 2:

it's remarkable how similar Instagram pics are regardless of city or country: food, faces, animals, the sky: http://now.jit.su

which will be worked into the list as soon as a suitable category heading is found.
