Mad ramblings whenever I feel like it….

Have you been asked the question “What is Twitter?” or “Why would I join Twitter?”

Several people have said it to me, including grannymar.

So here’s your answer in a nice video format - Twitter in Plain English:

Excellent video, as always from Common Craft. I wonder if I can convince some of my offline friends to join if they see this?

I think it all depends on how people feel about how much of their life and activities they are willing to share - for example it works really well for me - I want to get in touch with Sabrina this morning, so I know that as soon as she twitters that she is awake and it will be OK to call.

Other people don’t like sharing every detail of their lives, therefore twitter probably won’t be for them.

I’m not sure what to make of the line “real life happens between blog posts and emails”!
