The open exchange of information makes us smarter. It’s changing the face of journalism, improving relationships between consumers and businesses, and has potential to take us into the future with more empathy toward one another. It’s in our community’s hands to embrace technology and move us forward. There are 90 million tweets sent everyday, and the seven I’ve selected represent the diversity of information people can now access via a simple SMS or an increasingly sophisticated Web. They show that Twitter is many things for many people; solidarity, transparency, education and trust are among those represented in this list.
Biz Stone is the cofounder of Twitter.
