Astro_Mike to twit from space | Astro_Mike a twitear desde el espacio

English | Español

Earlier today, someone wrote on his own Twitter page “I’m going to put my spacesuit on, next stop: Earth Orbit!!” Not all of us can actually say and do that, but Mike Massimino did it so. He is one of the astronauts inside the Space Shuttle Atlantis en route to the Hubble Telescope to make repairs and upgrades.

Astronauts have gone to space before, but the use of the internet as a medium for one of them to communicate with the rest of the world is a very interesting idea. Of course, he could have chosen the usual suspects such as Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo Messenger, but access to Twitter does not require extra software and anyone can use it. Mike just needs to login and that’s it. He could have gone to MySpace or even Facebook as well. He did not.

Twitter is an innovative service in the non-interactive social world that is so easy to use with just one purpose: to share with others what’s on your mind in a few words. If you remember the CNN vs. Ashton “Twitter Battle” and the Oprah influence (with help from Shaquille O’Neal), Massimino must have been inspired by them.

Follow the astronaut on Twitter: [http://twitter.com/astro_mike].

Español | English

Temprano el día de hoy, alguien escribió en su propia página Twitter “Voy a ponerme my traje espacial; siguiente parada: ¡¡la orbita terrestre!!” No todos nosotros podemos en realidad decir y hacer eso, pero Mike Massimino sí lo hizo. El es uno de los astronautas dentro del cohete espacial Atlantis en camino al telescopio Hubble para hacer reparaciones y actualizaciones.

Los astronautas han ido al espacio antes, pero el uso de internet como un medio para que uno de ellos se comunique con el resto del mundo es una idea muy interesante. Claro, podría haber escogido los sospechosos de siempre tales como Windows Live Messenger o Yahoo Messenger, pero el acceso a Twitter no requiere software extra y cualquiera puede usarlo. Mike solo necesita iniciar la sesión y listo. Podria haber ido a MySpace o hasta a Facebook también. No lo hizo.

Twitter es un servicio innovador en el mundo social no interactivo que es tan fácil de usar y tiene solo un propósito: compartir con otros lo que está pensando el usuario en pocas palabras. Si recuerdan la “batalla Twitter” de CNN vs. Ashton y la influencia de Oprah (con la ayuda de ShaNASAquille O’Neal), Massimino debe haber sido inspirado por ellos.
