Twitter is a very odd duck. I’ve been using Twitter for a little over a month and in some indefinable way, it’s almost as important to me as email. I find myself vaguely unsettled if I wait too long before looking over what others are twittering about. I get annoyed at Twitter’s occasional performance problems because it means I’m missing out. I get a little puff of excitement when I see a new Woot announcement.
It’s a real community builder in a way that really complements blogs and forums and even personal face to face meetings.
In the last month, I’ve followed one person’s attempts at shaking a cold while trying to manage a Seder.
I’ve learned personal detail about many folks I mainly "know" through blogs — where they live, the kind of projects they work on, that they have a work / cuestións familiares para xestionar, así como eu.
Nai dunha persoa faleceu … a sad event for sure. But sharing that fact changes and enhances the character of the whole experience.
Isto é só o material persoal.
There’s more to it than that. It’s also another medium for sharing ideas, ou máis veces eu creo que, seeking help. Throw a question up on Twitter and you’re never left hanging and the responses typically arrive within minutes.
Se aínda non tente, you should really give it a go.
