My purpose is to change reality sooner instead of later. We change reality via our expectations because expectations feed into our actions. The Singularity will be an enormous change. In anticipation of the Singularity we can begin changing now. Most importantly, "collective expectations" can snowball dramatically into a colossal Positive Feedback therefore I am helping people to appreciate how utopia is easily possible. I want people to see how they will create utopia. The sooner people realize they will create utopia the sooner utopia will occur. It all depends upon your confidence, your expectations; it is a self fulfilling prophecy. My following blog post explains this in detail; particularly I want to draw you attention to the video link midway down the page: http://singularity-utopia.blogspot.com/2011/02/science-of-confidence.html One day soon I hope the idea of a utopian Singularity will shake the world.

Within the next day, the company's stock rose 200% due to 50 Cent's followers invest in that same company... Egypt's uprising may also be an indication of a tweetbomb... lol, a minor tweetbomb occured when rapper 50 Cent tweet that he invested in a company on the stock market.

Correction, even if you explained further down:

The tweetbomb is a single, simple message that is sent into the wild of cyberspace, possibly causing a minimum of 100 million people to act at its behest within hours”

To receive a given Tweet, I have to: 1) Install Twitter client on my device. 2) Start up Twitter client. 3) Happen to look at the screen at the right time and actually notice the Tweet before it scrolls out of sight. Twitter does not have a magical ability to harness more mindshare than other media. Just because someone has a million followers does not mean that a million people will see every Tweet. Most people follow a lot of other people, and therefore they only see a tiny fraction of the Tweets put out by the people they follow.
