Here are a few reasons I like using twitter, twitter, and twitter

  • Social aspect of facebook/myspace/virb/etc without the messy infrastructure and page long profiles
  • Messaging aspect of aim/yahoo/etc without the pressure of “instant”
  • Short reading – only 140 characters per message
  • Useful for connecting, networking, info gathering, team building, idea sharing
  • Applications connect it with other frequently used websites making it even more useful (budgeting, blogging, task lists, calendar, etc. etc.)
  • Can be updated anywhere and everywhere with a mobile phone

That is the short list.  What are some other reasons you like twitter?

    I just don’t “get” twitter….It’s definitely confusing to me!
