Noise kills conversations. Twitter works best when it is conversational. Conversations expand your virtual network. Bots generate noise.  Twitter was growing based on its conversational content.  It is still growing but now the content is primarily noise generated by bots or their human equivalents....

The global networked economy is just beginning.  A year ago it took a hit.  The cry at that time was that some organisations are simply too big to fail.  So the government stepped in to under-write these entities.

The term 'too big to fail' is now part of the language of C21st economics. 

The strange thing about this term for me is it makes no sense in a networked digital global organisation.  The bigger you are the more certain you are to succeed.  What is actually likely to fail are Nation-State governments.

Times of transitions throw-up terms like 'too big to fail'.  They become accepted wisdom.  But they never bridge the gap between 'what was' and ' what is' and 'what will be'.
