Jen, what an incredible recommendation for Twitter. It is not only a “hangout” but a real social networking site that can help you accomplish many things. Happy to learn that you found a job through Twitter. Looking forward to tweeting with you even more.

I think everyone here that says they don’t get Twitter, just did.
It is what you make it.
When I first joined almost 2 years ago, it was because that was the platform that all my geek buddies were on & I didn’t want to miss what they knew.
When I went corporate, it was the best way to stay connected to them on a daily basis. I chatted & shared with the people I REALLY wanted to work with.
When I was laid off (co. has since gone under) I Tweeted that I no longer had a job & by the time I left the parking lot, I had a job offer & 3 meetings the next day. One with who I am now working for: TSheets.
Again, it is what you make it.
I love the group discussions that are forming, it is getting people from all walks of life & all over the world connected…can get any better than that!

Chicago Breast Cancer, I’m not to be commended at all. I’m just part of this group but hope to spread the word and get more people involved. Will you help us too?

Happy New Year to you too Jade! I’ve made a lot of friends on Twitter. It just takes some time.

CJ, I twitter while I’m working. I use it as a reward for getting some work done. I’ll write a post and then tweet for a while. I’ve also added my blog posts so they will automatically add to Twitter as I post.

I agree with Jade and Creative Junkie but I also have to commend you on your efforts for this national organization, it sounds great. This sounds like something you could take global… Good luck, regards!

You know, I just never got Twitter. I have an account and did a couple of updates, but I just don’t get it. I think it makes sense when you’re on the go a lot, maybe? Like, if you Twitter from your phone or laptop or whatever? But when I’m in front of my computer all day, Twittering doesn’t seem to make sense to me so I stopped doing updates.

I think I’m missing the big picture.
