@Rachael: I love having my mom on Twitter :] Unfortunately, I can’t convince my sister to sign up, but … maybe someday.

@Ivan: Thanks for the kind words.

@Trish: Feel free to chat with me on Twitter anytime! It’s so addictive, I’m forever swinging by my computer to see what’s up.

@rainwebs: I think that, if you’re trying to present yourself as a business person, it’s definitely important to try and keep things like what you ate for lunch out of your Twitter stream. When I establish my freelance writing business, I’ll likely set up a Twitter account tied to that so I can maintain a professional presence as well. I hope your wife enjoys the article!

@kang: I like the metaphor of a “rolling CV” that’s constantly updated. That’s a really apt way to describe Twitter. I’ve met so many amazing men and women and been introduced to so many great networking opportunities via the service.

This is a tough pill to swallow… No doubt.

Although I did make it onto Twitter before Oprah (thank the LORD), I must confess for the first six months I hated it. “What’s the point?!” I said to myself…

Now, I’ve met friends, business partners, and strengthened my current relationships all through Twitter. Amazing. Some friends and I post them at our Twitter site aimed at churches.

Maybe you could go to your mom for some Twitips? I’m sure she’d love it

Just joined Twitter too. 150 followers, no idea why. I have no idea if they have similar interested or I’m just a random click, but I try to figure out this twitter thing. This resource is useful but I can’t find the archive to dig through old articles to find things of interest. If Darren can add a link, appreciate it. I’m a college student but hard to find other college student on twitter to tweet. The site looks so simple but I have no idea how to navigate. Once again, if anyone read this, please can you add the archive so it will save Twitter enthusiasts a lot of time. Thanks

Ditto everything you said – Twitter is fast becoming the one stop shop for all your communication needs, be it to socialise with mates/other bloggers and its no surprise that more and more people view it as a professional networking tool of sorts.

Sometimes, I think of Twitter as a sort of ‘rolling CV’ which gets continual updates and allows whoever is following you to assess what you’re like.. if you tweet all the tasks in your day that is. I bet, there’s someone outthere who is working on some profiling macro which can pull your tweets apart and prep a sort of pre-interview package or something… ok getting carried away now.

Bottomline is maintaining a Twitter account can only do good to career prospects because its sorta a perfect ice-breaker.

Cool idea how you use Twitter. I use it to exchange business stuff and never was a fan to read about what others have for lunch. But, to use Twitter this way makes sense. I’ve sent my wife a link to this post .

great post and I agree – I only just worked out how to use twitter tonight so I am rapt.
I think the quick connections with friends are awesome.
