Lingering questions regarding Twitter are undeniable and its presence is inescapable. Even more so,  due in part to the recent events in Mumbai.

Mumbai: Twitter’s Moment
Citizen journalism goes real time as Mumbai attacks unfold.

Twitter was inundated with “tweets”–short bursts of information posted by users –Wednesday as mainstream media outlets struggled to catch up with the scope of the attacks on India’s financial capital.

Specific to recent coverage, the question begs will the events of Mumbai impact the direction and/or definition of Twitter? As mainstream media outlets try to disassemble, disrupt and define Twitter, the Twittering community continues its constant state of evolution as individuals, communities and more make Twitter work for them. While I’m unsure of what’s next for Twitter, I do know that it’s not to be ignored, but rather participated in and cultivated throughout as Twitter, and its communities, work to define, refine and redefine itself for the foreseeable future.
