I’m a Twit

posted by 
Simon Meth (207)

The Big Cheez blogged recently here about how twitter has overtaken msn as a driver of traffic to Cheezhead. So I signed up for a free account, invited some folks from my gmail account to follow (Cheez, Shally, Penelope Trunk, Amybeth Hale, Jim Stroud, and others) and bingo I had some things to read! That was fun so I added a couple of things that I was doing. Of course, as of right now, nobody is following me so probably nobody saw my mini-posts. No big deal since it's only been a couple of days.

You can follow me here

So what value will twitter provide for me? I have no idea yet but I'm watching...

So now I'm following 135 and being followed by 15. Interesting to see what people are tweeting about. Much like LinkedIn there seems to be a badge of honor to have these numbers grow. How big is your network? Does size matter? Tune in latter for answers to these and other questions of great import.
