Nice to know the "im takin a shyt" kind of guy is probably paying $.99 per SMS to say it.

Twitter is a great way to find out where parties are. Or, in the case of yesterday's live Diggnation, free beer!

The Ultimate in Web 2.0 Social Networking ToolsI signed up for a Twitter account over a year ago. At first I didn't get it. Few people used it and the posts were pretty lame. Why on earth would I care if someone was sitting in a cafe eating a veggie sandwich?Well, like most mediums, given enough time and critical mass, they mature. Twitter has emerged into one of the most powerful Web 2.0 social networking tools. And it's one that you can use to your advantage.So what exactly is microblogging or "tweeting" as it's known on Twitter? Here's the deal...You try and answer the question "What are you doing right now?" in 140 characters or less. One click of the update button and you tell all your friends. That's all there is to it.If you make quality posts, balancing insight, provocative thoughts and self promotions, you can get a lot of followers in a hurry. With every pithy post, you're likely to spark discussions, get traffic and find that more people are subscribing to your thoughts, or "following" your Tweets.It works the other way too. Many thought leaders post 10 times per day, and you'll be surprised what you can learn in less than a month, by following a few well-known "A List" bloggers and new media people.- I found out about an upcoming affiliate program and was able to position myself for the launch with little competition.- I was told about fantastic widgets and Wordpress blog plugins, that I didn't know about.- I heard rumors of new SEO software and was able to offer my ideas at the development stage.- I was informed of a live discussion with a controversial author and was able to participate in the show.- I was one of the first people to post a comment on a leading marketing blog. It branded my name, positioned me as an expert, and got a lot of clicks to my website. (Which means more subscribers and revenue for me.)- I've been involved in personal conversations with thought leaders. (Not likely they'd open an email from me, even if I knew their addy.) They chat openly, even with strangers, over Twitter.- I've been invited to impromptu hallway and pub interviews with experts streaming live video from their cell phones.- One prominent personality managed to get over 270 viewers to a live streaming broadcast, within five minutes of posting the invitation on Twitter.- I witnessed a well written blog post go from 0 to 100 Diggs in less than 10 minutes, because of a single "vote for my post" request on Twitter. (Just imagine the traffic you'd get from being on the Digg home page!)* Warning: 1960's Superman cartoon reference...Look up in the sky... it's a bird... it's a plane... faster than speeding RSS, more powerful than a blog post, able to leap tall emails with a single post... it's Twitter!Think of it this way... Twitter is the ultimate web 2.0 social networking or "tell-a-friend" tool.At only 140 characters, it's a great way to keep in touch with your readers in-between newsletters and blog posts. It's also a funky way to write and build up a following, if you're not into writing lengthy ebooks, newsletters or blog posts.For example, if you want to follow what I'm doing online, you can go to Twitter.com and sign up for an account. (It takes less than 10 seconds.) You'll - at the very least - want to register your favorite name before it gets taken.Then - once you've joined - go to <a class="user" href="http://twitter.com/dmcorp">http://twitter.com/dmcorp</a> and click on the Follow button underneath my photo. That's all there is to it. If you want my updates to appear on your computer screen in real time, install a Twitter client like the one from Twhirl.org.Now every time I post to my blog or discover something new, you'll be kept in the loop. You'll know exactly what I'm up to during the day, what I'm working on, what's coming up next, and get inside tips as they happen.So what's my conclusion on using Twitter for social networking?If you offer your followers thoughtful posts, topical news, cool ideas, useful urls, and the like - instead of what kind of sandwich you're eating - who knows... you could build your own following. Then next time you have an event, or important moment of any kind, you can notify hundreds of people the instant it's happening.Like it or not, micro blogging has grown and matured as a medium. It has found a comfortable niche in-between emails and blog posts. But the really cool part is that it's happening in real time, right before your eyes, and you get to choose which gurus, bloggers, movers and shakers, that you want to follow.Twitter is pure Web 2.0 power in the hands of the people. It's the essence of social media, the ultimate social networking tool, where we can stay connected to each other, no matter what we're doing, or where we are in the world, 140 characters at a time.Send me - twitter.com/dmcorp - a Tweet when you get there...
