I am sure that this post is not unlike the thousands of other posts of the same vein. But, I have to say it...I LOVE TWITTER!!!!
I don't have the time (or creativity) to write an ode to Twitter so I will just lay it out in simple terms. It's about connectedness. Twitter is described as micro-blogging, but, I think of it more as group instant messaging. I can be part of other people's lives by having them in my twitter stream. I learn about them and about the world. I learn from them by sharing in their experiences.
It's also about discovery. Most of the people I follow, I've never met. Their opinions are as diverse as the places they live. They are smarter, funnier and infinitely more interesting than I am. I just followed back around 40 new persons. I can't wait to see what my twitter stream begins to bring.
I love Twitter because I feel honored to be a part of something that is larger than myself. (and no I did not take the Google Goggles test - but I have not been drinking, it's just late at night)
