Twitter Part 1 (March 27, 2007) Today's article is the first in a series from Jules Gude, CEO of exceler8. According to Jules, "exceler8 develops social media marketing strategies for companies that connect people, ideas, and commerce. We also participate in our communities by collaborating on projects, participating in online conversations, and publishing blogs like exceler8ion.com. Our collaborative open source business practices lead to innovation." Dear Animal, I saw your post about Twitter. I felt some solidarity with your less than stellar review of Twitter – a view I shared initially – until I had a chance to use Twitter for a while. To be honest, I never would have tried Twitter if it weren't for an invite from a good friend. Just look at this post as paying it forward. No time to read my post? Then just know this — there's a lot more to Twitter than meets the eye. What the heck is Twitter? Did I mention you have 141 characters per
tweet (the name for a posting on Twitter)? What else? Heaps. Many people, myself included, like to keep track of friends and more friends along with family, business associates who are also friends and vice versa — those that might otherwise go ignored despite your best intentions. It's a really low involvement way to stay connected to people. Just as face-to-face meetups (it's the pheromones), phone, IM, or email are better for some things, Twitter has its own niche. With all this tweeting going on, every one of your friends and associates are keeping in touch with you, feeling connected in a feel good way, but also getting information from you and you from them in a valuable way (it's part of a growing trend called lifestreaming and workstreaming). They see what people are working on, meetings they are having, deals being done, people are being recruited, and when paths cross - there are obvious opportunities to connect in real time and IRL.
