(Although I must admit that until I got it, I was one of them; I hang my head in shame.) But you are quite right, it is a cabinet of curiosities.

From a commercial point of view it's going to be fascinating to see how Twitter develops for business and brands. <br /><br />It's clearly the Social Media of choice for the individual. Right now, as all of you testify, it's about meeting new people, chatting, sharing knowledge, experience and exchanging quips. <br /><br />I've also watched with awe as the well-followed use Twitter to command their Google slaves by asking a question then sitting back with feet up while all their followers dash off to do the (unpaid) research and return a pertinent link or tweet. Nice work if you can get it!<br /><br />I think Twitter is superb for small brands with big personalities but definitely more of a challenge for big corporates. Let's watch this ever shifting space.Sarah Lamballehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694533844881887361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005709531067414426.post-230686318208341952009-05-05T17:11:00.000+01:002009-05-05T17:11:00.000+01:00Your points about following & return following...Your points about following & return following are right on target. People who obsess about follower numbers or who get crazy when anyone doesn't follow back or unfollows are, I think, missing Twitter's point. It's about tailoring one's own experience and building a personally satisfying Twitterverse. Approached that way - and with the understanding that different people have different goals - it's a pleasure to stop by, converse, meet new people, learn new things, and gain windows into unfamiliar worlds.Debra Sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467694513460878293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005709531067414426.post-55810057640783402922009-05-05T16:59:00.000+01:002009-05-05T16:59:00.000+01:00Very well written m'dear.

If I'd been able to read it when I first heard about Twitter I would've jumped straight in there instead of dismissing it as "somewhere my friends are just going to say 'so's your face, lololol' at me and eachother" (I was right in some cases) and missing out on a whole 6 months of Twitter fun before I finally caved in and got an account. I never thought that people other than my mates (and spambots) would follow me, so it was pleasantly surprising when I discovered @Angpang on my list and had a wee poke at the link to see what it was all about. I'm glad I did. I've also gotten a lot of great tweeters to follow from your flist. Great job. :DEilidh Elleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486381025754663392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005709531067414426.post-13697850839738727912009-05-05T11:30:00.000+01:002009-05-05T11:30:00.000+01:00Comprehensive and thoughtful review of Twitter tec...Comprehensive and thoughtful review of Twitter technology and networking.
