I started Twittering – along with the rest of the MMG team – last year. It was still fairly new and I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Now I am addicted.
It’s sort of like being a voyeur – I get a glimpse into what people are thinking. It’s also my best news channel. I get great links to blog posts I may never find on my own. Twitter is also a wonderful re-connector. I follow people that I’ve know for years but haven’t seen in ages.
And when our friend Rick Turoczy got the big spread in the Oregonian last Sunday thousands more certainly signed up.
Like all social media, it has a big downside. There is too much of it. I can’t following thousands of people and get anything out of the relationship. And the technology is not perfect. Scalability is a big issues and users have to be very patient.
Lessons learned from Twitter? Like all good communications, it is best when it is focused.
You can follow me on Twitter and see what I am up to.
