Is it just me or has twitter EXPLODED? Within the last 2 weeks I have heard more and more about it on television, in print, and in my inbox. Friends from high school are now starting to follow me on my professional account and the advisors whom I presented to in Saratoga Springs, NY were eager to learn more about it. I am envisioning a twitter session in my future...
I was definitely skeptical of its power and usage, but once I saw the power at the NACADA Technology Seminar I was hooked. Twitter almost does itself a disservice with its "What are you doing?" tag line. This gives the impression that the material being shared isn't very meaningful. Some of the skeptics that I talked to mentioned that it was a waste of their time to read tweets about what flavor of ice cream people are eating at any given moment.
Their opinion of the tool is one that I can fully understand given the way that twitter is marketed in most circles. I'm not sure how the new Facebook update will impact this new twitter revolution but I'm thinking it might actually fuel the fire in some respects.
What say you?

Cool, but weird. Nice that it's beginning to appeal to mainstream, but I think people are leaving it at status updates for a while.
I would agree. I guess we are stuck with knowing everyone's favorite ice cream flavor for awhile :)
