Twitt me – sounds naughty, no?!
I’ve known about Twitter for a couple of months now, but just decided to sign up a few days ago now to understand the all madness around this new social network… I do think the tool can be amazing – to “twitt “about things of interest to me and to engage with people who are saying and doing things that I do and enjoy - and so create proper relationship and network with it. However, when I went to play around more closely and come across the such examples (see below) I can’t stop thinking what all those people are on about?
· “My unplugged printer just came to life..spooky”
· “Love spring. Hate allergies. This sucks”
· “I have a ghost in my database”
· “I think the IT guy might kill someone, this is great. His job really isn’t that stressful”
· “Might cry. Or kill someone”
· “What’s this smell”
What are the benefits to know that some stranger will probably kill someone by the end of the day or someone is going to the toilets in a minute or…
Well, I should probably let you watch this video on Youtube untitled “Twitter Madness” that sums up really nicely and artistically the whole addiction around it…
Well well, so far, I keep thinking positively and try to consider twitter as the new way to let off steam in everyone’s daily routine or as Jason Lee Miller describes it incredibly well “as a weird Twitter nirvana” where the crowd’s thoughts are simply indefinable!
Please share your thoughts about the twitter Madness!

I was amazed to read in the news of the plane that crash landed in the Hudson River was posted on twitter 15 minutes or so before any major news network covered the story…. just shows that social websites can be much more informative than the press who actually get paid to report the news!
