I feel pretty new to it and do not have many outside contacts. Plus I am one of the few who do not have texting on their cell phone because of the distractions. However, now that I think about it, having a Twitter enabled phone does sound like a great option to get for work though since our emails are monitored. We could start the underground Twitter club at work and simply keep each other motivated and happy and say that person in room 5 has green stuff in their teeth without worrying about getting written up or fired.

I went to an ICT cluster event last night talking about the success of New Zealand businesses on a world scale and surprise surprise, the common denominator of international success was networking, people doing business with people. Then we looked at the companies where the founder was big on networking and built a huge successful business, then passed the business on to graduates who had all the models and didn't believe in the networks and business went down fast, blamed undoubtedly on the economy.

It is a great listening tool and if you use the track feature and hook it into Google talk, all the tweets get stored in your inbox and are searchable. The King of the Internet is a big word, and the use it very limited still - although I can see my 76 year old mom usjing it soon via her mobile because it is so easy to use. Crush of the internet for sure - now it is a matter of finding out how long lasting this love will be and how it matures.

That title for me is for the platform where the buzz is, and since most of the content creators / early adopters are on Twitter, I think companies should start realizing Twitter is very important for their brand.

That's hilarious :) Twitter is mostly used by marketeers, bloggers and geeks. The girl that is working in your favorite bar, your brother or sisters, your office manager, your old class mates etc,.. can they be found on twitter? I don't think so. You do find them on FB or Myspace. The reason that a company like Dell is monitoring Twitter is because they now that most people on Twitter are content creators like bloggers or decision makers like business owners and marketeers. That's why damage control on Twitter is way more effective than on any other social network. The king of the internet? That’s hilarious :) Twitter is mostly used by marketeers, bloggers and geeks.
