Mika's tweet

Today Mika tweeted this:

- I've been made aware this am by Adele that it is indeed world water day today. It's worth spreading the word when you see these stats; world water day
- 884 million people do not have access to clean drinking water and 1 child dies every 5 seconds from not having clean drinking water;
-  As you can see this isn't about the London hose pipe ban!!

MIKA writes his column for the Magazine XL Repubblica 01-03-12

Ciao(Hi!)! Here I am again on the new XL.
Ah, I'm also on twitter, @mikasounds, but with some issue, unfortunately.
Before Xmas I tweeted from the recording studio sayng that i was working with Benassi on a very cool song but I got tons of tweets from fans protesting cause I wasn't tweeting in a while.
To tell the truth I never dedicated lots of efforts to my twitter account.
There was a phase when I enjoyed it a lot ... shortly before my 2nd album came out I had the idea to invite fans in a club to celebrate, kind of last minute party.
I tweeted where the club was and 600 people showed up and stayed with me till 11pm dancing on the tables. I was thinking about drinks.
As usual pessimistic people had me scared, they thought, it'll be a mess, they say, instead everything was fine, noone has done crap (sorry I didn't how to translate that).
I did this experience again in L.A. with the blogger Perez Hilton we launched a party at Roxy on twitter.
We've distributed the tickets from an ice cream van. We expected 300 people and showed up 2000! Twitter is an amazing mobilization tool, it allows you to transmit infos in a personal and free way, the news doesn't seem to be filtered, as the ones on TV and newspaper.
If you read a news on twitter you have idea that it's something yours, the felling that you can share with so many people the power that media assume. It has never been a faster and effective system to broadcast first-hand testimonies.
A young photoreporter, James Buck ows his freedom to a tweet. Stopped by the police during a public demonstration, it was enough to type “arrested” that his collegues and blogger mobilitate for his release.
Throughout the Middle East Twitter has become an extraordinary channel serving the protesters of the Arab Spring (I don't if it is said like that in english too).
Maybe Twitter is able to to humanize wars as in the 50's it could have made a novel.
The stentorian voice of BBC announcers now seems to belong to a remote era.
Cheers for Twitter, then, only that it's impossible for me to make a constant use.
I feel like an idiot to post stupid stuff, not for what people can think about me, just because condense my thoughts in 140 characters is limitating and let over people know what I ate I found it useless. Am I the only one to think so?
But maybe it's not the point.
Maybe tweets that now judge dull will prove something important to historians in the future.
In the 2010 Twitter donated the whole archive of public tweets the U.S. library of Congress, the biggest one in the whole World.
These are infos that in the future historians could study to identify not only individual reactions to events of our generation, but also reconstruct the causes.
Just try to imagine if it had existed Twitter at the time of the rise of Nazism in Europe.
Maybe now we will know more about the mechanisms of certain terrible ideas to establish itself and then influence history.
Perhaps, after all, a tweet isn't just one of the many bricks of the Tower of Babel, but will be an important means to tell the story of a society.
Even what we eat for breakfast in 100 years could be interesting.
