Twitter – the Next Big Thing!

March 13, 2009 · Posted in Networking · Comment 

Okay, you’ve seen it on the news, read about on blogs and it keeps popping up at the water cooler.  Yes – it’s twitter.

What’s Twitter?

My short answer — if a blog married a chat room and they had a child, it’s name would be twitter.  That sounds silly – hey, I felt silly writing it.

In truth, twitter is a phenomenal communication tool that puts you in contact with almost anyone in the world.  You can follow anyone and they may even follow you back.  Unlike Facebook, you don’t have to be friends.  You can share your thoughts, great sites, news — you name it.

Where to start

  • Go to twitter and set up an account – its simple, quick and best of all FREE
  • Create your profile – don’t worry too much about this, you can update anytime
  • Spend a little time following the public timeline
  • Start using the search function to find people who have similar interests
  • Follow me

A good video introduction

Like anything new, there’s a short learning curve – very short.  If you can type – you’re in.  See you soon and by the way I’ll follow you back.
