Twit-what?

Twitter is not the next big thing in social media.

It is THE THING.

Everyone seems to be using Twitter. Including lots o famous people. John McCain, Lance Armstrong, Richard Branson, Anderson Copper, Al Gore, and Karl Rove just to name a few.

There are also thousands of interesting but not famous people on Twitter. That is what makes it so fun and useful.

The thing about Twitter is until you use it you can't get it. And without a little guidance, its difficult to know where to start. It is so experiential that trying to describe it or it's value is nearly impossible in words.

When I first heard about it nearly a year ago I thought it sounded really stupid and that the person who told me about it must be nuts. Now I am that person. Twitter is here to stay. Is the place to put your social media efforts, especially if you are using them on the business channel. Business gets done on twitter make no mistake about it. This is a a business application.

By now you have probably heard of It. Its been talked about in the media, on the web and in your network, even on Nightline and The View. Its sounds silly, so what's the big deal? The big deal is Twitter is leveragable, here to stay, really fun and most importantly exceptionally useful.
Twitter is a powerful vehicle for social media, micro-blogging, connecting with other interesting people and just flat out getting things done. The business applications of twitter are only limited by your ingenuity.
