Do You Twitter?

I'm not a Twitter-er, but I do see the power of social networking. Enjoy this post by Karl Fisch about how one of his students needed help with a research report.

David Pogue, NYTimes Technology Columnist, also conducted a Twitter experiment while live on-stage during a conference presentation. The comments on this one are interesting ~ people feeling USED by his appeal for help.

Guy Kawasaki found himself on an island without his MacBook power supply. You guessed it, Twitter to the rescue. (This post also has some innovative ways to market yourself on Twitter).

...and if you need ME, just call my (un-webbed) cell phone... :) Derry

Twitter has some interesting aspects to it, but I don't believe that it's success for the massess will be as a stand alone service. I see a time when different aggregates will be able to deliever the information in a more efficient way, when that occurs, twitter will become more of the medium instead of the end tool.
