Twitter..a conversation.
I was asked today by my friend Deb , “so what’s the big deal with Twitter”? At first, I shot her a look like “are you serious” ? I mean isn’t the entire free world using Twitter. I forget that many people are not using the internet and attached to it like I am.
What is Twitter?
Twitter is in essence a mini-blog and its a conversation between many people that wouldn’t normally have a conversation. It basically answers the question “what are you doing?” One person once described it as “permission based stalking” which I guess in a way it is. I’m a big fan of Twitter and have been using it faithfully since I found out about it in March of this year. Twitter can very easily create addictive behavior and need an intervention. You can use it very SMS, IM, and web as well as cool apps that have been developed for it like TwitBin and Twiterrific.
So how do I use it?
I use it in a variety of ways that all add to my productivity or some days the lack thereof.
1. Questions - Sometimes I pose questions to other new media/social media experts for information I am seeking for myself or for a client
2. Blogs/Podcasts - many times I’ll post a link of a cool blog I’ve come across, a new blog posts (my own and others) and/or new podcast episode.
3. Mini-Conversations with Friends and Followers - Sometimes its just as simple as that
Like I said Twitter can be used for good or for evil .. it’s up to you to decide. : )
