Inform, Inspire, Engage

Is this the evolution of twitter, now celebrating its 5th year of operation? Or is it how we got into Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya?

Or could it be both. Lets see..

twitter.
Phase 1 - using it to send links to other stories, or just broadcasting the state of something, like the sky above you when its hailing (inform)
Phase 2 - using it to motivate others, and convey the inspiration that keeps you going at 4am, like the Mayor of Newark sending snippets of Bruce Springsteen songs (inspire)
Phase 3 - using it to create revolution, communicating with other activists to stage rallies and organize overthrows of a corrupt government, as in Egypt (engage)

Libya.
Phase 1 - let Qaddafi and his "troops" know the NATO alliance is deadly serious and is not going to take him oppressing his population (inform, courtesy 124 Tomahawk cruise missles)
Phase 2 - keep the European nations committed to the fight, encourage them to take the lead since we are already broke (inspire, time for leadership guys)
Phase 3 - mano a mano, it will eventually come down to it, to take Qaddafi o-u-t (engage, as in military engagement)

Inform, Inspire, Engage
