Over the past few months, I’ve become acutely aware of the significance of a Web 2.0 application called Twitter. Originally billed as “micro blogging” site, where you could post short messages and people could follow along, it has grown into much more than that.
One thing I have noticed over the last month is how fascinating Twitter really is. It connects me to people and things that I would otherwise have no knowledge of. I wouldn’t know when thefluffanutta will release a new tool for lensmasters or that Jeff Walker, master mind of the product launch formula, is a fellow Coloradan. Twitter is keeping me instantly connected with the things that interest me in a way that I could never achieve before, allowing me to follow experts and the advice they share. The ultimate expert social network.
Case in point. I follow Ed Dale’s tweets religiously. I learned of him through Stompernet and then the Thirty Day Challenge. The man puts out the greatest content on earth! This morning I noticed a tweet from Ed regarding a article on social networking: The Nuclear Option. It’s a post on how Twitter is helping create instantaneously connected social networks.
I won’t quote. it. Just read it.

As Greg said, I’m on twitter too. It’s great for keeping in touch with like-minded people, and discussing the topic of the day.
I would recommend that people integrate twitter into the desktop or browser - there are some excellent twitter apps about.
