I’m all a-​twitter about Twitter!

According to Twitter: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co – workers to commu­nicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

It can be anything from “about to brush my teeth”, “had a ham sandwich for lunch”, “discovered this great new website – here is a link”.

And here’s a catch– you only have 140 char­acters per ‘tweet’. (A “tweet” is what they call your update or post)

While trying to explain Twitter to a friend the other day, I came up with a great analogy. Twitter is like a virtual office – with the people you follow being the workers in nearby cubicles.

If I were in a real office, I could walk to a nearby cubicle and ask, “ Hey, anybody know what font this is?” Since I work at home, I’d be talking to the wall.

But now that I have twitter, I can talk to anyone who is following me.

I have found Twitter to be a great source of infor­mation. My font question was real. One day I needed to figure a font to use in a book. I found one I liked but didn’t know what it was.

I Twittered my question, put a link to a sample of the font, and waited.

Within 10 minutes, one person told me the exact name of the font.

Another Twitter friend gave me a link to a website, where I could enter samples of any font and the site would tell me the font. What a great resource for the future!

With more and more people working from home, there is a growing need for ways to feel ‘connected’ and less isolated. Twitter does just that and more.

The TOP 3 reasons I like Twitter:

1. Twitter is a great way to learn about what people are doing. Twitter helps you feel connected to others in your industry and life – regardless of physical location.
2. By reading what others are doing and discov­ering, I too, find inter­esting websites that can help me with my business.
3. By posting what I’m doing throughout the day, others can learn more about me personally and profes­sionally. Twitter has led to joint venture oppor­tu­nities, job oppor­tu­nities and new customers.

Sounds pretty good, right?

But how does it work?
