What Are You Doing?
Posted in Twitter | By LGR | On December 18th, 2007
Anyone that uses Twitter knows that question well. When I first discovered Twitter about six months ago I really did not get the point. Seeing the seemingly endless Twits made me almost feel sick. My first thought was why would someone want to broadcast their life like that.
I have to admit I do not use Twitter to its full potential. I hope to change some of that. I have been reading Caroline Middlebrook’s Twitter Guide and have already discovered some new tidbits of information. Her explaination of Twitter as a broadcast medium has helped me understand more about what Twitter is about than all of the other guides I have read.
Caroline also had this great video embeded in her Twitter guide, and since I am very much a video learner I wanted to embed it here.
I look forward to reading all of the Twitter Guide and becoming a better Twitter user.

that’s a nice explanation of Twitter, I always thought WFT? when i saw people posting things like “on the bus to work” and such but I can see the power of it in a marketing sense (if it’s used properly).
I’m still too lazy to register with yet another 2.0 site though. my blog takes up all my social time, I prefer to hang out there instead!
Andy,
I am still playing with Twitter. One of the things I did was set up my RSS feed to post to Twitter through Twitterfeed. It is probably not the best use of the service. Like you though I hang out at my blog and a few forums. That is enough.
