If you haven't yet heard, rumors really are going around about Twitter getting a Nobel Peace Prize. It all started when former Deputy National Security Advisor Mark Pfeiflesuggested it in an interview with Fox News. He said:
"If there's anybody that should possibly get a Nobel Peace Prize in the next time around, it should be the founders of Twitter who delayed the tuning up of their system in order for an amazing amount of tweets to be sent out in the last week or so."
At first, most people scoff at the idea, but is it really that far out in left field? The issue raises mixed opinions. WebProNews spoke with several people regarding the topic and also received mixed responses. Logan Weiler III told us that he didn't believe it was appropriate to award such an honor to "an inanimate object." On the contrary, Tom Godell told us he felt that Twitter "richly deserved" a Nobel Peace Prize.
Do you believe Twitter deserves a Nobel Peace Prize? As society modernizes and technology advances, should we expect more suggestions such as this in the future?
