Twitter in Plain English

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Here’s an excellent summary of what Twitter is and why it works. I’ve been using Twitter since April 11, 2007. It’s been life changing. I’ve made new connections and began feeling like part of a community. Most of the people I follow are in and around St. Louis with a few exceptions (like Wil Wheaton). This video from Common Craft succinctly explains tweeting far better than I have ever been able to.

It’s been said that we are now in the end of prehistory. I know I don’t remember stuff the way I used to. Who am I kidding? I never remembered stuff before. But now you can search through all your old communications and find dates and names and places. It’s the future - and we’re living in it now!If you haven’t signed up for Twitter, give it a shot.
