We’re hosting our first official Twitter developer conference this month. It’s called Chirp.
– From twitter co-founder Biz Stone’s newsletter.
Bakhtin tells us that dialogic utterances contain the expectation of an other’s speech, and that objects and words are surrounded by the different relevance and import of that thing or term for different languages, sociolects, dialects, and jargons. Some utterances make the difference between distinct dialogic expectations and jargons clearer than others, but it’s always worth asking: Whose speech does this utterance expect? Whose expectations might differ from the code of this jargon? Which different layers of preceding language will different audiences see?
“It’s called Chirp.”
