I’m officially a Twitter addict. Twitter is a mini-blog in the simplest of terms. You have 140 characters to promote yourself, meet people, say something of interest (or not), reply to others and basically chit-chat or ‘Tweet’.

I can’t help myself checking to see what’s happening in my little Twitterverse multiple times a day, and getting into conversations with people who were complete strangers up to a few days or weeks ago.

In all honesty they are still strangers apart from that fact that in my Twitterverse, they are my ‘Tweeple’. I choose to follow every bit of their day, and they for some bizarre reason choose to follow my antics. I’m going to mention @MartinBowling here as a case in point. We’ve been mutually following each other for a few months now, neither of us knowing jack-shee about the other apart from what our 140 character bio allowance says. While mine very eloquently mentions the fact that I hate brussel sprouts, Martin touches on his plans for world domination. I felt it prudent to become one of his Tweeple, one never knows…

I love how twitter connects me to many of the people I idolize in different industries (SEO and Web Development). Its provided me the chance to actually chat with these people, where I otherwise would never have that opportunity.

Agreed with the last commentor. I love the fact the Twitter opens the lines of communication with people I could've never spoken to before, and the fact that I meet so many awesome people on it everyday. I thought it was lame at first, and now I'm a Twitter addict... go figure. *=T

I just want to say I agree. I didn't much see the purpose, but now I get a bit loopy if I can't at least see the web version of Twitter - had real issues without my Twhirl!! :)

You all should write Haikus on Twitter at least once per day.

6 degrees of Twitteration. It's amazing how you can quickly make contact with some top people either through a twitter friend or just go for the jugular and approach that person direct. So far for me the standard of tweets has been high but the spammers lurk!

I can't get enough :)
