What is this Twitter thing?

I don’t get it....

Just a bunch of folks telling what

a good hamburger they had for lunch?

Why is it such a big deal??

From Brad Shorr of WordSell, Inc

Twitter is a tavern. You walk into a crowded bar and there are all

kinds of conversations going on. At first it sounds like a lot of

noise, but if you listen closely you’ll realize these conversations

run the gamut - deep, serious, funny, irrelevant, irreverent - you

name it. Sometimes business deals get done. Sometimes you’re

just killing time. You drift in and out of these conversations, but

you always leave the bar knowing folks a little better, knowing

what’s going on a little more. That’s what Twitter is like.
