I don`t know why there is so much discussion about why you shouldn`t twitter. It`s almost like telling you why you shouldn`t spend time on forums. Yes you can find great information on forums especially Sun. But as Chris said the people that follow him are interested in absorbing as much information as they can. And they found him on twitter. Obviously the five million members on twitter find something of value in it.
I think many people are on twitter for different reasons. First let me agree with you, twitter can waste your time in life and I see how it does for many. Literally there are people on their all day and night like a chat session and I honestly can`t see how they get anything else done.
Okay criticising the 140, hey I didn`t get it all either at first. But let me tell you what I see. I have no desire, or time to spend hours on twitter, or on Sun for that matter. Just like Sun, I check in occasionally if I have a few moments free while I am on the computer. As time consuming as twitter sounds, because there are only quick 140 tweets, it`s easy to scan them and only click on something like a link or article that might interest you. I have found some great information on twitter! I am not there to sell jerky on twitter, nor here on Sun. I have posted a follow on twitter from my site, but that`s not where I`ve seen any customers. I believe that`s a strong market for marketers, pr, web designers etc. Except we all know the zappos.com that uses it for complete access for their customer service has worked very well for them. Also we see large companies are using twitter, but I have no idea if it`s working for them.
As I have always found great info here and have met great friends in business here, I feel the same has happened for me on twitter. But I always come back to check out my favorite place Sun that I`ve been hanging around for years!
I think it should be, each to their own. We all need to find value in what we do and a reason for doing it. But if it`s working for someone they should, alternatevely if they`re about to get caught up in their biggest time waster....be aware.
As I quickly scan twitter, I always stop to check my Sun friends tweets. :)
See, I can type a whole lot more than 140 too. Not that you cared to hear it all.
I think I`ll take a peek at twitter before going to bed, and follow

The reason I posted the article is because there are a million articles out there telling people why they should Twitter.
