twitter redemption

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not sold on Twitter. The idea that it's successful as a one size fits all communication format is preposterous (and a little funny). There are, however, some interesting/beautiful/[dare I say]poetic applications of this medium, like the video above. Running a search for "star next to the moon" on Twitter will bring up these images and some lovely person compiled them for us. Watching it, I am overwhelmed with the knowledge that indeed we do all share the same sky. And even though I know that fact intellectually speaking... there's something amazing about seeing it represented visually. So, in conclusion, if Twitter is the engine that bubbles little things to the surface so that bystanders can present a "meta view"... I'm down. But I can really live without hearing what Ashton Kutcher ate for lunch.
