Twitter is hot new girl on the block.  Become friends with her.. use her to network and get your message out..

The Internet and the Mobile Phone’s lovechild, Twitter is a micro blogging service designed to share text message size (140 character) strings of text.  You also get a tiny profile area where you can write a blurb about yourself and post a link to your website.  Your twitter friends are displayed and you can chat with one another so the service qualifies as a social network also.

A very simple concept with open information sharing and thousands of third party applications, Twitter is more of  a concept in information sharing than it is a social network.

Set up an account, play with it.  Ploked.com gives a pretty good list of some general guidlines to follow and Twitter-HowTo.com is a good nuts and bolts blog to learn all the ins and outs of the Twitworld.

Go have fun, search for keywords related to your industry and follow a few people in your field.  See how they tweet and develop your own style.  Follow us and we’ll try to keep you posted on exciting new applications and ideas.
