I attended a Twitter workshop last Thursday and discovered a little-known (to me at least) secret: Twitter is not just for twits.
Michelle Morin (@mom4freedom) showed us how to effectively use this tool for instant communications. I thought of Twitter as a one-way outgoing broadcast medium. How useful could that be? The answer is, combined with a few organizing applications it is an amazing networking tool akin to instant messaging or texting–but better because of the broadcast feature.
But don’t take my word for it: look at Michelle’s Twitter Notes. If you’re in the Colorado Springs area, I would be happy to arrange a demo for your group.
