twitter-bird.gif@msg went around and did short video interviews at SXSW asking people a simple question: WTF is Twitter? As one might expect (considering how amorphous Twitter is), the responses are all over the map. Go check out the project and @msg’s breakdown of each contribution for a deeper dive.

My favorite responses are @innonate’s “EKG” and @laughingsquid’s “people mover,” both of which are embedded below.
