A mind burp to accompany the blog post A Vision of The Web in 2008. The original was made with paper and glue, scanned and then printed out in glorious A0. This poster is now hanging in the Osmosoft office, enjoy!

Why Twitter as an address book?

Twitter gives you the ability to message people without them knowing your phone or IM address, less useful in the UK since they dropped sending SMS messages, but the asynchronous "follow", blocking and abstraction of messages paths is so much more powerful than point to point links. You can do all of this with indentica, and even XMPP, but Twitter being simpler probably resulted in them having such a large network. Of course we all have to trust twitter.com, and I suspect in 2009, that'll change.

Interesting, thanks. It's still difficult to follow conversations on Twitter, though.

Thanks for licensing your image to allow re-use. I used it to illustrate an answer to the question Who died in 2008?
