Because Today’s Great Ideas start with Yesterday’s Foolish Thinking * Home * Design Portfolio Twittering the Moon: Anyone know what that star is next to the moon? Last night (February 27th 2009) I saw a really bright "star" next to the moon and wondered what it was. I wondered if twitter would tell me, so I did a twitter search for "star next to the moon." Of course, not only did twitter have an answer verified by hundreds of people, but it beautifully illustrated the thoughts of people around the world looking up in wonder at that same bright star in the sky - an age-old philosophical musing suddenly and poignantly jolted into the realm of the tangible. For those of us who still think Twitter is a pointless waste of time, I hope this example provokes some curiosity.
