The 'next generation' can't use twitter after all

Posted by fraser in Untagged 

At the economic summit Tuesday I heard a number of EDs talk about the challenge of finding the next set of leaders. I think this approach from the staid Chronicle of Philanthropy has merit - a twitter based discussion. Check out how they did it and the comments here. While the comments about leadership were pretty basic (ethical, letting people set a direction,etc) what I found most interesting was the fact that this supposed tech oriented young people couldn't figure out how to use a twitter forum. A few minutes into the dialogue they were asked "How's the twitter chat working?" More than a quarter said they couldn't figure it out! I don't know why, but  this makes me feel better.... but you have to hand it to the paper for trying!
