I would really like to advocate twitter in dallas just to get people talking and change the culture. It would be nice to do something silly like take out a large newspaper ad (oh the irony) or a billboard. It would be nice if I could communicate with folks over twitter locally. Going to try and get everyone at work to use it, but I’m sure it will be a very slow process. The culture of “status updates” is very awkward at first.

I think this is the ultimate question for Twitter. Can it create community where none existed before? It works well for facilitating community when time sensitive information needs to broadcast to the community, but I wonder how well it establishes it.

I’m curious to see how it turns out.

I have some britekite invites as well. Let me know if anyone needs them. Had to get mine from a girl in San Fran but I bet they’re getting more common now.
