Hey, KT,
I need to Twitter. I opened a profile a while back and could not for the life of me figure out how to use it.

I'd hate to think I'm that clueless but I guess I do have my airhead days.

I should connect with you or find some tutorial or something.

I don't get it. Why under 140 characters?

Being in publishing, you've probably noticed the shift toward creating more entry points in a story, and smaller, more easily consumed bits of information - I think its really part of that trend.

Twitter is strange and uncomfortable at first, but once you get acclimated, it can be fun and beneficial.

I agree with the small bits of information. In fact we have a column called What's Going On for stories of 50-75 words. Twitter sounds like a IM board. I will have to do some more research inbetween posting here and r unning two newspapers and seeing family and friends etc. Where does the time go.

Hey KT-

Thanks for linking to my blog post for this, it allowed me to find out about FohBoh!

Twitter has all kinds of great business uses across many industries and levels. I definitely see Twitter as a great "broadcast" tool for the restaurant industry. The obvious benefits are increasing or branding business, but the amount of networking and learning it can provide when following the right people is simply amazing. For me, it's a phenomenal access tool. It's all in how you want to use or leverage that access.

Thanks again!

Aaron
