I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

Paul Boutin, our Media Safari Leader, Explains the Oncoming “Twitter Backlash”

He spells it out for us in no uncertain terms:

  1. The Observer says there’s a backlash. 
  2. A Gartner analyst uses the article to say there’s a media backlash to Twitter. He’s right: It’s in the Observer, which means that it will be repeated by the most trend-conscious journalists all over Manhattan. Didn’t you know about the Twitter backlash? It was in the Observer. 
  3. Many of those journalists will now quote Gartner, a widely respected technology analyst firm, that there’s a Twitter backlash. 
  4. The backlash topic will become a hot Twitter topic: #backlash 
  5. Didn’t you know there’s a Twitter backlash? It’s all over Twitter.
