  1. Great video. Will reference this to other people who are skeptical about Twitter. :)

  2. Cool video, just referenced this page in one of my blog entries about twitter.

    I’d just like to add that twitter isn’t only about telling people you’re having coffee… there is a huge potential for using it to create communities that can be later used for business related purposes as well.

  3. That animated video is a really a nice way to describe the twitter craze. Although I read somewhere that most people don’t even update their status and most are just passive users. It was a Harvard study conducted that just 10% of the twitter users generate more than 90% of the content, and something like 60% of users don’t return to it after a month of their sign up.

  4. I signed up on Twitter over a month ago and didn’t do much with it. However I recently discovered the search bar and it has opened up an entirely new world. Now I can do a search on anything and contribute to a conversation if it is worth wile.

    1. Twitter is great for meeting other people of your profession as well as people in general :) You can stay up to date for a lot of news too since most big news agencies are on there.
