If i had just absorbed the information on how twitter works by just viewing their website, i would never have known some of the deeper uses. i think this is a great tool for any user to use to form a better and more advanced communication between family members, friends, business etc, but to actual have your colleagues or whom ever you speak with right at your fingertips is more helpful and useful than just the phone. now people of your group can receive information instantly; this goes both ways, they see your information instantly and you will see there response instantly. it’s almost like you are right there speaking with them even though everyone in the group maybe located with in a different geographical plane. To really get a feel of how twitter works check out this post i found written by kthxbai. from viewing this post you can definitely see the possibilities from using twitter. another great way to discribe twitter is that its just a virtual CoP. Another good feature of twitter is that if your not next to a computer you can have your messages sent to your mobile phone. i am very interested in exploring this new way of social information seeking over the web. it would be a great idea to be able to do this entirely with ANY mobile phone. not like three way calls but being able to share your opinion or information with way more than three people in one breathe, or have the option of just speaking to one person at a time. According to business week, tweeter has had some financial help from Union Square ventureres, twitter has added up to around 4.8 million dollars back in 2007, so i think it may be safe to say that twitter will be around for a while. So take advantage of this tool and use it.

I have been trying to get family and friends to try this out with me to get a better feel how effective it will work with me. I think you need that kind of group to get this working right unless you just want to be updated what some stranger is doing around the world. Which sometimes really isn’t all that bad but we do want our tools to be helpful to use. By the way i am following you on Twitter. Have you looked into the GPS features, i found them to be very cool and interesting, now there is another tool for the wife to keep tabs on us. LOL
Lets get this CoP going before it is to late.
Oh yea i also found this Twitterrific app which seems to be another part of Twitter. you use your same login information as on Twitter and you can even take a picture with your phone and post it right along with your post all at once from your phone.
