Twitter in plain English

Posted on April 28th, 2008 by Jackie Danicki

It’s amazing to me how many important conversations in my life now take place on Twitter. Most of the work-related people I know are on there, as well as personal friends. So when I mention Twitter to non-webby friends (hi, Karri!), it can be hard to explain exactly how it works and what’s so different about it that I find so appealing.

This video does a pretty good job:

I’d also mention that Twitter is spoiling me for email, blogging, and the phone. That said, I’m going to try to tweak my listen/talk ratio in coming weeks. I’ll let you know how that goes…

    I’m still trying to figure out twitter. I haven’t started using it on my phone because I’m afraid I’ll get too many messages and end up with a phone bill the size of the national debt, but maybe I should just give it a try and stop it if it’s too much.

    V, I don’t get Twitter messages sent to my phone as an SMS. I do keep up with it on my phone’s web browser or a mobile client like Fring, though.
