Host and best selling author tom standage has a new book out, and its called writing on the wall. Tom standage, what do cicero and twitter have in common . Guest well, the idea of the book is that social media is a very old idea. We think that its recent and only people alive today have ever done it. But really what im arguing is theres a very long and rich tradition of social media that goes back to the era of cicero, so thats the First Century b.
