“I’ve been using Twitter for a few months now, and today jotted down a list of things I’m learning or never would’ve guessed before signing up and using. Here goes, in no particular order.” Read article.

“Short and simple – Twitter is a micro blogging service. Fact: there are people around the world who would be interested in what has your attention at any give time. And vice versa. Well, you get 140 characters to tell each other. As many times a day as you like. These little ‘status updates’ (called tweets) include the sorts of things you’re doing in between emails and blog posts.

They can be insignificant: ‘first cup of coffee for the day, finally’ through to your on-the-ground report on a natural disaster: ‘the entire town has been evacuated and we’re awaiting further instructions’. Unlike email, you do not have to read every message.” Read article.

“Why microblogging has value. That’s right, with the advent of the Facebook status API we may have to stop saying Twitter and start using the more generic term. This is good because it puts focus on the medium, not the branding or cliques surrounding twitter that some have struggled to see value in or make sense of.” Read article.

“If you pay attention, you can find at least one article a day about how to get more followers on Twitter. This isn’t about how to get more followers, this is how to follow more people. If your focus on Twitter is simply to get a lot of numbers in your followers column, then you are missing out on so many great people with amazing thoughts…you’re too focused on yourself.

This also isn’t about how to spam people by following 2,000 within 15 minutes of signing up, then making only one post that links to your “how to get rich quick on the internet” site. It’s about finding quality people so that the cocktail party that is Twitter is much more enjoyable for you.” Read article.

“No doubt you’ve heard of – and probably even joined – the social networking site Twitter.com. It’s a huge viral phenomenon that’s quite literally growing like a weed since it’s so easy to engage with customers, prospects, companies, celebrities, and friends you are interested in. Unlike Facebook or Myspace, there’s no need to “approve” those you interact with. If people like you and what you “tweet” (post), they follow you. If not, they unfollow you. It’s 100% up to them.” Read article.

“Well the time has come. Just like with any other popularity explosion, the crowd is no longer asking if we should spend our time on Twitter, but instead has shifted to how can we optimize our time on Twitter. Let’s be honest, some of us spend a lot of time on Twitter. Some of us have spent hours (entire days…okay maybe multiple days) tweeting away before we see the sunshine again. We are left with hundreds of thousands of caffeinated, shaky, hyperactive, information-sharing insomniacs, all desperately seeking out ways to streamline and optimize their Twitter-filled hours.” Read article.

“I just don’t understand Twitter.” That is the reply I get most often when I talk about Twitter to friends and family. “What is Twitter?” they will ask. And when I explain the basics of how Twitter operates, they ask, “Why would anyone use it?” It’s actually a pretty good question.” Read article.

“It is perfectly possible to be a great artist, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you get everything right. More generally though, for all its success, there are quite a lot of twitter sceptics out there, especially in the British political blogosphere. I am certainly in the enthusiast column. I doubt I will be able to convince everyone, but here are my five reasons why twitter rocks…” Read article.

“On Monday March 16 we started a discussion with groups on LinkedIn, “Reasons why twitter might be right for your business” and after receiving over 120 comments back we’ve distilled the strongest themes into 20 simple points on how companies are gaining an advantage by using twitter. It is true some companies are still getting familiar with this new tool and see it as a time consuming and there can be an overload of non-valuable information but over 80% of comments we received indicated the pro’s far outweighing the con’s.” Read article.
