Twitter

Personally, I've been tweeting since the end of April 2008 and I was affirmed in this decision after reading a blog post from Cheezhead. Then, in September 2008, I started tweeting as Cool Works and have been actively twittering about the new summer job postings and employers who advertise on our website. More amusing or annoying, depending on your like or dislike of animals, I even tweet as my cats, which for me goes back to an old paper I wrote in middle school that was written from my cat's perspective. Call it my creative outlet - =^.^=
Anyhow, there has been an inordinate amount of chatter about Twitter lately as it seems to gain footage in mainstream society. Here are some examples:
Evan Williams [Twitter co-founder] predicts that "normal people" will use Twitter in five years. This is an excerpt from an interview with Charlie Rose.
From the Today Show -
Like everyone else, celebrities all a-Twitter
And you know that it's really gaining traction if Jon Stewart talks about it on The Daily Show. He may not know what he's talking about, but clearly people are listening. Funny stuff.
In closing, I definitely believe in the power of twitter and am happy to sing its praises. For me, as a solo web worker, it is an easy way to be social and I have made connections with many cool people in the photography world, the recruiting industry and even with a few of my real world friends. I hope you'll at least follow Cool Works and check out twitter. You never know who you might meet!

Rss was a better idea, and pingbacks (an idea that has never gotten enough traction from the bigs like Blogger) better for full conversations. I would rather see full thoughts not mental diarrhea of 140 chars. Case in point, this comment is already longer than that.
I heart twitter ;)
