Tags: Twitter Detroit Michigan internet technology from kohenari
Twitter coming downtown is exactly the kind of innovative company Detroit needs to advance our vision of becoming one of the most exciting high-tech and web-centered corridors of growth and activity found anywhere.
Dan Gilbert talks up Detroit’s high-tech future in “What Twitter Means for Detroit.” I’m posting this from Detroit, where I’ve been visiting family for a few days … and, while none of them have Twitter accounts, I can tell you that they’re all hoping Gilbert is right. HT: Michael Tofias. (via kohenari)

Seriously, if Twitter encourages any other tech companies to join them in Detroit, that’ll be huge for the city. Fact of matter: The auto industry is exactly the right industry to use as a base for this kind of growth, but if these companies are smart, they’ll use it as a trojan horse of sorts, a way to encourage economic rebirth in a city that could make it happen.
