Imagine being able to follow the text messages of 60,000 people
Or 6,000. Or 600.

Imagine being able to see what most people are talking about right now
Or what links are being passed around most.
Or when a particular person is mentioned. Or a product. Or an event.
Twitter
Imagine your words being passed on by 5 people. Then 20. Then 100.
(Newsflash)
What do people do when a major event occurs?
more
What will you do?
Imagine being able to find someone where that event is happening
Imagine being able to map what’s being said and done.

How people feel.
Imagine being able to ask 100 people to help you.
Or 1,000.
But why should they help?
Why should they follow you at all?
Twitter is social.
Be social.
And have fun.
5 things you can do now 1. Sign up to Twitter and follow anyone you know, plus 10 people from your field (use Twellow or Tweepsearch) or area (use Twitterlocal or Twitter Grader) 2. Tweet what you’re doing 3. Tweet a useful link 4. Tweet an @ message to someone you don’t know 5. Try using Pingvine or Twitterfeed to send a Delicious RSS feed to your Twitter account (so anything you bookmark will be tweeted)
