Twitter - what's this all about?
According to Wikipedia Twitter is:
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send "updates" (or "tweets"; text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service (e.g. on a cell phone), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.
Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone is the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application. For SMS, four gateway numbers are currently available: short codes for the United States, Canada, and India, as well as a United Kingdom number for international use. Several third parties offer posting and receiving updates via email.
I have set this up for myself so I have an idea of how users are interacting with this - I am now looking at how I could integrate twitter into client campaigns. I do know that you have to be using this for a while to build credibility and you need to attract a group of followers.
I have sent out some emails asking my colleagues, friends and other bloggers to join me - jump on board!
