Some quick examples of personal experience that made me think Twitter was kinda neat-o:Reïst wrote:Why so? Just curious - I haven't heard many positive things about twitter from anyone I know, so I wouldn't mind hearing an opposing viewpoint.
1. Being on a radio show, and having a few friends listening to the show as a direct result of reading about it on Twitter. They even interacted with me as the show was happening!
2. Starting to go to karaoke on Mondays after being invited by a friend through Twitter.
3. Posing questions to twitter via text message, and getting results from multiple friends that follow me on the site.
I like the 140 word limitation on posts, too. Makes you consider your wording a little more carefully.
Bottom line: Don't like twitter? Don't join! No one is forcing you to do so. I set up this thread for the people that have a genuine interest in the site.
ROCK!
