Twitter Eulogy: RIP George Carlin

June 23rd, 2008 by andyhunter

in the wake of George Carlin’s death, the twittersphere has dialed up in “tribute” to Carlin, similiar to the the dialogue that hit when Tim Russert died. though it started as a simple, and frankly confusing app for me (i didnt see much big picture application for it) Twitter continues to amaze in how it evolves to be much more than a conversational status billboard. in fact, in this case twitter became my “headline news” channel, as I heard the buzz from those I follow on Twitter before hitting my morning online news sources.

have a a look at this mornings reactions to George Carlin’s death on summize (the equivalent of google search for twitter posts):
