   Pardon me, but can you explain the relevance of Twitter. I don’t get it. Guess I don’t understand it. Of course it took me a while to understand blogging.

   Give me a practical example of why I should give a whit about Twitter. Does everyone need to know when I stop at Starbucks, or am picking my teeth at the bank drive thru?

   @ Charlie - Thanks…just reciprocated.

   @ Steve - lol I had very similar thoughts when I first heard of it. But it didn’t take long for it to grow on me.

   It’s really just a great way to have “mini” coversations with friends, clients and/or like-minded people.

   The only thing I can say is to create an account, follow some people, get some followers and give it a shot.

   Obviously everything isn’t for everyone, so you may not like it, but if you’re like me it just needs some time to grow on you.

   @ Steve It’s such a common reaction, I felt the exact same way, I thought “well this is kinda lame”, but since I’ve been on, it’s got me a couple of followers from out of nowhere, so when I’m ready to publish what I’m working on I already got a group of people to holler at about my project. So it’s a cool tool, spend some time with it and it just starts to make sense.

   Hi Josh,

   Consider yourself followed. I have been on there for a few days and I am already seeing the relevance and fun of twitter.

   following you and jumped over to spread some extra love because you are now following me.

   I find that the value of Twitter increased exponentially when I started following a lot of people. Lots of new friends, authors who want my free online course and just formed a new partnership.

   Twitter rocks..

   Great layout here. I’m coming back soon

    Thanks to everyone who is now following me. I believe I’m following everyone, but if not just let me know.

    @ Chuck - oh yeah, you’re one of those old guys who don’t like it

    @ Warren - Thanks, see you around

    @ Caroline - I should have mentioned that.

    Caroline has an excellence Twitter guide, which is actually what got me going with it at http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/twitter-guide/

    I still don’t get it.

    Since Twit apparently uses the rel=nofollow tag, I’m guessing we would just follow along to see who reports a hole in their sock on their blog.

    Although, I’ve heard it argued that no “link love” from a page rank Kahuna is better than not getting same from a page rank pigmy.

    @ Steve - It has nothing to do with SEO, as there is no SEO benefit at all. It’s about networking.

    I suppose if you thought a hole in your sock was important enough to announce, then yes.

    Nothing wrong with passing it by. I won’t though
