Some of the best value I’ve been able to gleam from twitter is the ability to search the vast amount of info in its databases and search the info by location. Use this website: http://search.twitter.com/

Example of a location based search – “beer” near:vancouver
Play with it and see if you find it useful, I did.

Hi Scot,

Thanks for your comments.

Although I appreciate your gentle encouragement to get involved with Twitter, I’ve decided to sit tight and concentrate on what’s already on my plate, at least for the time being.

Problem is, I’m sure Twitter has a lot to offer and I’d like tweeting. But the thought of another commitment is daunting at this point. The little free time I have now needs to be spent kicking back away from the screen.

Good luck with Facebook. Let me know how it works out.

Ciao,

Meg

I used to not like Twitter…until I tried it. I don’t follow hundreds of people and will block people who send out 20-tweets a day.

The value has been finding out about new ideas in my area early. Answering questions in my area for others. And having a friendly on-line office cooler to share my time.

I hold everything until I am ready to take a break, then I go look at the Twitter stuff.

So, start. Take it slow. Contribute a bit with intelligent stuff and you’ll find you like it.

Now I’m looking at Facebook…my wife already has a profile and she’s liking it too. More analysis later…!
