If you're not using Twitter yet, you may feel as if you've missed out. Twitter has not only tipped the tuna, but by some estimations, it has already jumped the shark.
Don't be put off by its excessive popularity with SXSW geeks or by the
whining of Twitter haters who missed the fun. Twitter is an interesting
and practical real-time messaging system for groups and friends. It's
just not completely obvious how to get into the "club." So, here's a
newbie's guide to this new platform. We don't cover every feature of
Twitter, but this should help get you started.
What is Twitter?
Twitter is an online service that enables you to broadcast short
messages to your friends or "followers." It also lets you specify which
Twitter users you want to follow so you can read their messages in one
place.
Twitter is designed to work on a mobile phone as well as on a
computer. All Twitter messages are limited to 140 characters, so each
message can be sent as a single SMS alert. You can't say much in 140 characters. That's part of Twitter's charm

The Tweet Life

by Todd Friesen, Friday, January 23, 2009, 9:45 AM
It's
2009, and like many of you I made several New Year's resolutions that I
may or may not keep. Some of them revolve around my vices. I like to
smoke. I like to sleep in to the last possible minute. I like to eat
food that will kill me and I like to drive too fast. Also, I'm a
complete and utter Twitter addict -- a Twaddict, if you will. All the
former vices are addictions I really will try and address this year.
The latter is a different story. In fact, I intend to increase my
addiction to 140 character "life bytes." Now before you get all
fired up and click away to something else thinking this is just another
Twitter article, at least take the time to go read about the Ketchum/Fedex debacle
and heed the moral of that story. If you are interested in how Twitter
is replacing search, at least for this writer, then stick around.

50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business
|
We really can't deny the fact that businesses are testing out Twitter
as part of their steps into the social media landscape. You can say
it's a stupid application, that no business gets done there, but there
are too many of us (including me) that can disagree and point out
business value. I'm not going to address the naysayers much with this.
Instead, I'm going to offer 50 thoughts for people looking to use
Twitter for business. And by "business," I mean anything from a solo
act to a huge enterprise customer.
