Great post!

I’m trying to figure out the value of Twitter myself. It seems folks either are obsessed with Twitter, or they have an inkling that it may be a great tool if they can figure out how to use it, or they think it’s altogether ridiculous. I fall somewhere between the last two.

I signed up recently to Twitter after the recent surge in Twitter blog posts, Twitter news articles etc. You can find me @rocketmatter. I’m playing along and still trying to figure out what to make of it.

So far my observations are the following. Twitter helps to:
1) broadcast information to the customers, such as product enhancements, etc., and valuable links.
2) inject an extra human dimension to the company by talking about such things as The Backyardigans.
3) Help aid in conferences when lots of people are together. It would help the organizers broadcast info and people find each other.

There’s a trade-off though: endless chatter. Only so many minutes in the day, and increasingly way too many sources of information.

I’ve only just signed up on Twitter to find out what the fuss is all about. I access only from my desktop and don’t feel I need to be reachable 24/7; I just go there when I want; I’ve set up a feed to alert me; I plugged my blog feed in with twitterfeed. It’s sooo simple and effective – never mind the inanities. Tweet overload is the main issue for me – even on day 4!
