Mobile technologies have proven to be so powerful in nations that have typically been technology-deprived. Thanks to Twitter, now anyone with a cell phone has an outlet. How empowering!
Romero points out that Latin American people typically prefer face to face communication rather than using technology tools. I think this is a beautiful aspect of the culture. Still, having a technology that empowers the public gives everyday people a stronger voice, and it sounds like that is being noticed by political leaders.
What’s more, I love to hear about old media utilizing new media. Newspapers and radio stations in Latin America are smart to communicate further with their audience through Twitter. The more they hear their audiences demands, the better they can meet their needs.

One of the things I find so interesting about this industry is how similar, yet how different trends are across international borders. Nuances exist across cultures and especially from a marketing perspective, it’s important to understand and adapt to these differences in order to create well-received platforms. However, at the end of the day, we are all humans with the same instinctual desire to connect. We appreciate the two-way conversation that social media affords us to have with what have traditionally been unreachable sources.

About 1 1/2 years ago, I worked in the Latin American division of a large, universal travel client. At the time, the Latin American region hadn’t quite caught on to microblogging with the same force as the US. I also studied abroad in Spain 9 years ago, and at the time, mobile texting there was huge, and didn’t even exist as a mode of communication in my college town back home. Now, Twitter is pretty much universal, and countries like the US are finally riding the mobile wave. We all learn from each other, even if not everyone catches on at the same time.

I think it’s also interesting that especially after Barak Obama’s success gaining popularity on social networks such as Twitter, politicians in other countries are catching on as well. Another example of how we all learn from one another universally.

That’s one of the things I love about the MCDM – we have the opportunity to learn from our fellow classmates, from both near and far, and gain new worldly perspectives.

I agree with you that it will be interesting to see if Birddi will make a difference to how Twitter’s launch of its Spanish-version be in Latin America. As I am from Taiwan and most of my friends are using Plurk (a microblogging site not much different from Twitter but with a slight twist), Twitter never did grow on me until I came back to the states (I probably still won’t be using it were it not for this program).

Microblogging almost seems like a more local/geographical based form of communication. Above all else the platform that has the most users will most likely gain ground the fastest. In Taiwan where the language is hardly interchangeable compared to the US it was easier for another service such as Plurk to pull weight. Were Taiwan an english speaking country I wouldn’t be much surprised to see more people adapting to Twitter.
