Twitter is all about the participation
Brian Clark is
hosting a haiku contest through his Copyblogger site and the grand prize is a MacBook Air. Besides
the 5-7-5 structure, the only rules are to post the haiku on Twitter
& then paste the Twitter with its permalink in the comments of the
contest. This is my entry:
Cool as Obama
Twitters replace blog chatter
Victory for all
I think this is an interesting use of Twitter and I'm sure it'll be a boost to Clark's stats (7698 followers, 199 following 1650 updates as of this blog post). However, I think it'll be a bigger boost to people interested in creating haikus. We'll find each other, start to follow each other, start exchanging @replies and @dm's. Someone will win a MacBook Air, but some of us will find new friends or strengthen existing relationships. Just by participating.
I've forgotten how much fun haikus are. More to come @zesmerelda.
Update: I had a senior moment and swapped the followers/following numbers. Corrected now. Thanks @emilwisch!

Who doesn't love a haiku? On the topic of Twitter, I really enjoy seeing how people bend the tool for so many different purposes. Collections grow, swarm and shape around micro-content, as needed or desired. So intriguing for me, as a follower / observer of human adaptive behaviors.
