HelloAlexCLThu, Nov 19, 2009 Cool! I just registered for a twitter account yesterday. Although Twitter always seemed so very different from other social networking sites, I never could quite put my finger on this overarching difference as the absence of collective interaction.
By eliminating collective interaction, Twitter allows for self-direction and self-motivation, which increase the engagement of every person. Thus, any emergent collective interaction will be richer and more dynamic, as each individual is much more involved than they'd be otherwise.
I have a question. Why the "edge" of chaos? This implies that there is a tipping point between order and chaos, and the two are discrete. What about some kind of grey area? Please explain the choice of this term if possible.
