Twitter changes "What are you doing?" to "What's happening?"
#-Link-Snipped-#
People, organizations, and businesses quickly began leveraging the open nature of the network to share anything they wanted, completely ignoring the original question, seemingly on a quest to both ask and answer a different, more immediate question, âWhatâs happening?â A simple text input field limited to 140 characters of text was all it took for creativity and ingenuity to thrive.
Sure, someone in San Francisco may be answering âWhat are you doing?â with âEnjoying an excellent cup of coffee,â at this very moment. However, a birds-eye view of Twitter reveals that itâs not exclusively about these personal musings. Between those cups of coffee, people are witnessing accidents, organizing events, sharing links, breaking news, reporting stuff their dad says, and so much more.
The fundamentally open model of Twitter created a new kind of information network and it has long outgrown the concept of personal status updates. Twitter helps you share and discover whatâs happening now among all the things, people, and events you care about. âWhat are you doing?â isnât the right question anymoreâstarting today, weâve shortened it by two characters. Twitter now asks, âWhatâs happening?â
We donât expect this to change how anyone uses Twitter, but maybe itâll make it easier to explain to your dad.
