With all of the excellent discussions taking place on the site concerning human interaction with cybertechnology, I thought I would share this video from Rocket Boom.  [See also the discussion on how cyber-immortality is no longer sexy and the discussion on Kurzweil's singularity and our attitudes toward the human-cyber meld].  The Rocket Boom vid is a good introduction for those unfamiliar with Twitter and offers a good description of Twitter’s unique capabilities by comparing it to a worldwide mind.  I have to admit the video both freaked me out a bit (think big Brother) and excited me (think having the powers of Hermes).  Take a gander and tell me what you think of Twitter as a global mind . . .
