There are natural phenomena happening on a constant basis on this planet of ours. Sudden thunderstorms. Check. Sudden hailstorms. Check.
A blizzard with white out stranding millions in the midwest as late as April. Check.
But I refer to a different kind of storm. A man made one. A shit storm of some magnitude. This with all those who tweet. Unlike melodies from a bird this too is man made. It is using a platform called Twitter.
People who think they can express themselves in 140 characters or less use this ubiquitous technology enabled channel to rake up a 'tweet storm'.
In recent history famous CEOs both in private sector and public, as in the highest offices of the Government have taken this tool and done whatever they want with it. Amendment rights and all, better than gun toting nutjobs, they have gone and blasted the ether with their thoughts or half thoughts at all odd hours of day and night. Influencing large money movements, whether stock price or brand awareness, or just playing a demagogue, these tweeters have raised quite the ruckus.
Their consumers eagerly have sucked their message down or have thrown it up and regurgitated with their own back slapping or venom as the case may be.
Using hip sown glass devices recognized by their fruity or not so symbols these members of our species are creating their own history with informal publishing. Here there are no rules. If there were or are they are viewed as ones to be broken.
No Red Traffic Light violation fines here it appears. Hmm .. could that be a new source of revenue for cash strapped governments? But wait - the POTUS might veto it.
