Kicking, Screaming, Tweeting

I’ve succumbed. I created a Twitter account.

I have justified not climbing on board the Twitter bandwagon in the past, but I can’t deny the value any longer. It’s been six days and thus far, I’ve discovered:

  • Amplifying a message to my network and watching the viral validation RT wave that results is really gratifying. 
  • The peer-to-peer acknowledgement via RT and being followed is empowering.
  • It’s so easy to connect with like minded people. They just appear.
  • The six degrees of separation – especially in business – feel cut down to five. Maybe four.

Looking over this list, it sounds like Twitter is serving as a personal ego boost. A micro-boost. Folow me @peepf.
