Twitter is a way to build and maintain relationships between the times that we (friends) meet face-to-face. The next time I see some of my Twitter friends I have can relate to them better. I can ask them how successful a project was that they said they were working on, or I can ask them about their families. <BR/><BR/>It is also one way for the kids to keep up with me. If they get a Twitter message that says I am in a meeting, they will know I am unavailable. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, I can see where Twitter can be used for specific purposes and occasions. I recently saw a Twitter message from a conference that said something similar to "A digital camera was found in the Washington room. Check with the registration desk if it's yours." John, do you want to ask ACE/NETC to open twitter account?<BR/><BR/>Because any twitter message is no more than 140 characters, I am not too worried about the overwhelming amount of information through Twitter. <BR/><BR/>Though I have not tried it <A HREF="http://blog.k1v1n.com/2007/05/custom-twitter-groups.html" REL="nofollow"> Kevin's</A> widget, I like the idea of creating feeds for a subgroup of twitter friends.<BR/><BR/>You are right, I have gotten some of those "Why?" looks when I tell them about twitter. So far, 3 of the 4 people I asked to be my twitter friends have accepted. <BR/><A HREF="http://blog.aafromaa.com/" REL="nofollow"> Anne</A>Anne Adrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10353479928793096415noreply@blogger.com
