Why on earth would anyone use Twitter? Please explain...
So working with IM guru James Brown these last few weeks has been interetesing. We've got a lot of good work done and I've been learning heaps but....He is all over this Twitter.com stuff and he's harrassing me to join too....I have been making jokes about it and saying "why on earth would I want to join a time wasting thing like Twitter?"
But the raving kept coming so what do I do? I finally crack and I join up plainly to see what all the fuss is about.
Well, after signing up less than 1 hour ago and uploading a silly ostrich face as my profile picture, I still can't see the real gains from using it.
I guess it's like a big instant message or chat program where you can just share your own blurb, see into people's lives and share your every movement and announcement however small.
But is there something bigger I'm missing here?
Perhaps I could throw out a question and let them all jump on that? In that way its like Yahoo Answers.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll find a good use for Twitter one day, but I'm not going to drop everything to in any sort of hurry.

Hey Ostrich Face
I gave Alejandro Reyes an interview on this. To me. Twitter is a fantastic networking platform. I first connected with the Rhodes Bros there, even though I knew their names from WF, and now it's where we communicate -- which led to doing a giveaway event.
It's also where I can connect with Dr Mani. One of my latest Recipes was born there from a conversation with the Doc. Then, I needed to see if I could get an e-cover done in time, and my graphics artist was right there on Twitter too.
Just don't let time wasters slow you down. You choose to follow those who you can work with or learn from (although I also follow so useless prats like JB).
