permalink So approximately 28 hours (or 1,680 minutes) after Tweeting his dissatisfaction, AT&T went from a state of total inertia to one of action. Furthermore, Lance Armstrong has approximately two million Twitter followers. This would support the hypothesis that there is a direct relationship between the number of one’s Twitter followers and the force of a Tweet—in other words, a 2,000,000-follower Tweet can get AT&T moving in 28 hours. With 4,000,000 followers, perhaps it would have taken 14 hours, or with 1,000,000 followers maybe it would have taken 56 hours. In any case, a better mathematician than me could easily calculate the force exerted by each Twitter follower. (Perhaps there’s even a relationship to the DFU.) So if Radio Shack could somehow manage to harness this then we could be on the cusp of using social networking as a renewable fuel resource. For example, the simple act of Ashton Kutcher Tweeting a morbidly fatuous question like “if some1 raped you when you were 13 then pimped you out would you kill them?” could potentially provide light and warmth to a small town. Sure, opponents will claim that the cultural pollution caused by incessant and vacuous Tweeting is even worse than the greenhouse gases caused by our current activities. However, as Al Gore will happily remind you, those glaciers are melting, and at least those poor drowning polar bears can’t read. (via Bike Snob NYC)
