Twitter as the Tree of Souls
The Omaticaya clan link the group mind via the Tree of Souls in the movie Avatar
Steve published a Quickie post recently on the Twitter remix of his Deep Dive Interviewing Secrets webinar.
I was struck by how the Twitter remix goes beyond reportage, not just echoing the points raised in the presentation but adding a layer of synthesis and translating the content across different media.
It’s a crowd-sourced boiling-down, and yet another of many examples of how this type of platform can be harnessed to interpret and respond to events in real time.
It’s also another illustration of how, as complex as technology has become, it so often still exists in service to the most elemental human activities. In this particular usage of Twitter, the support of tribal communication and the distillation of the group mind.
