Now days I see websites saying that Twitter is going to rule the world, and in others, they say twitter is sinking faster than the Titanic. Trend? Tangible sign of human evolution? Best marketing tool ever? The first step towards the apocalypse? The only fact is that no one can be indifferent about Twitter. Check out this Q&A made by Boonsri Dickinson for Discover Magazine to Jack Dorsey, founder of little blue bird everyone is talking about.
