No, I'm not addicted to knowing who is going to the grocery store, the coffee shop and the bathroom (Seriously people --- note item #4 below). I'm addicted to the knowledge sharing.
A curious person by nature, I'm finding Twitter to be the equivalent of a 7-shot espresso. This morning, compliments of Twitter-ers (ites, ies?), I learned:
- Emotional Intelligence DOES affect SAT scores!
- You can find the blogs of many big companies all in one place.
- Blogging moms rule the world (simply search Mom and Motrin to see what I mean!)
- Obama will likely have to give up his Blackberry when he takes office! (I can't even fathom doing this)
....and so much more.
People have information -- and they want to share it. Twitter provides another opportunity for us to do just that --- in REAL TIME.
Quick tips from one Twitter Rookie to another:
- Content vs Fluff Solution : It's all about who you choose to follow. Find interesting people and follow them -- and look at who THEY are following since interesting people tent to follow interesting people.
- If you use Mac....set up TwitterDeck to organize your twittering.
- iPhone users visit the App Store and find "Twitterrific".
- Assume your boss, clients, professors, friends, family, etc will find you on Twitter.
Follow me on Twitter.......I promise not to tell you when I am on my way to the bathroom...well, except maybe on April Fools Day.
Wishing you the best in all your endeavors,
