I’m still really testing the waters. I need to find out the better services out there for Twitter.

But what I use it right now is for a dual-flow. One being *spark* information that will get an idea or conversation going based on something totally irrelevant.

The other way is *gossip* really. Keeping up with what the people I follow are doing.

Don Lafferty: sometimes I choose to tweet, sometimes I choose not to tweet. I guess Twitter can be your personal spin doctor. Chris: two major uses of Twitter are (1) to find out about breaking news (for example, I learned of Charlton Heston's death on Twitter) and (2) for technical support. Also, as I noted earlier (via Twitter, of course), if you really want to detect someone's presence, their FriendFeed account (or other lifestream aggregator) might be a better tool. Sometimes I'm tweeting, sometimes I'm publishing in other ways.

Aren’t you negating your inbox zero boundaries by using Twitter to micromanage your e-mail in that example?

Time stamps on our general activities, Twitter, commenting on blogs, etc…render us highly stalk-able, uh, I mean track-able.

Why do you think I have so few tweets? I prefer to keep my whereabouts and activities somewhat close to the vest.

As a student, I use Twitter as a research library and a sounding board. It is my own personal wikipedia, jstor and google rolled into one!

As a young professional, Twitter has been an amazing source of advice, guidance, encouragement and support.

As a human being, I have found and developed some of my closest (real-time) friendships on Twitter. I have met incredible people who have made me laugh, enlightened me, showed concern and empathy when I’ve been down and overall, have greatly added to my life.

For me, joining Twitter was a life changing event. I know that sounds kinda ridiculous but it is true. My life has been richer, more fulfilling and far more passionate ever since I walked into Professor Quigley’s class, met Amanda Gravel and was convinced that Twitter was not stalkerish.
