In riot or revolution, the Tweets must flow, says the network's co-founder Biz Stone. “Our goal is to instantly connect people everywhere to what is most meaningful to them. For this to happen, freedom of expression is essential. Some tweets may facilitate positive change in a repressed country, some make us laugh, some make us think, some downright anger a vast majority of users. We don't always agree with the things people choose to tweet, but we keep the information flowing irrespective of any view we may have about the content.” Join us for a discussion of how people use Twitter to create business, follow the news and even track public health trends.
Our guests:
- Amy Phillips, chair of the Social Media Club for the Baltimore area
- Patti ("CITYPEEKPatti") Neumann, social media consultant and CEO of Citypeek.com
- Mark Dredze, researcher at the John’s Hopkins University’s Human Language Technology Center of Excellence and an assistant research professor of computer science
