If you’re wondering what’s with the super short posts you’re now seeing on the site, they are my “Tweets”. Quick little thoughts that I share on the fly via Twitter, a micro-blogging platform (more fun than it sounds).
In case you don’t know, micro-blogging is just what it sounds like–tiny blogging. The posts are limited to 140 characters so that it encourages Twitterers to share more often but not too much.
It’s a terribly addictive little technology that I use in fits and starts. Right now, I’m all over it because I’m sitting in a classroom at Stanford University as part of the Stanford Professional Publishing program. Sitting still makes me nervous. Twitter is a great release.
But, I’m not simply thought-casting here. I’d like to use this opportunity to introduce you to one of the Web’s hottest apps, maybe its hottest. It’s a social media application but it has the potential to be so much more, as we’ve seen via Obama’s use of Twitter in his history-making campaign and its use by book authors and tech gurus to promote their products. Twitter is the ultimate career gear.
Twitter is also a great way to get in touch with me directly and in real time. Follow my Tweets.
