This week I did something I never thought I'd do: joined Twitter. I always heard people talk about Twitter, and I thought to myself that Facebook was enough for me. I'm not really sure what I think about it yet because I'm still trying to get used to it.
It was easy to find people to follow. 23thingsks is an organization I am following. I'm sure I'll learn some useful information about technology by following them. I also requested to follow two of my younger brothers. They both have accepted my request and one sent me a request to follow me. I'm glad they think I'm cool enough to tweet with. Lol!
I can see why people enjoy microblogging. It seems like a good way to communicate with others for both work and personal use. It would be easy to communicate with colleagues and others in the same profession. You can even follow people in your profession that you don't even know and get ideas from them. It's also a great way to keep up with friends and family.
Maybe I'll grow more fond of Twitter the more I use it, but for now, Facebook is still my social network of choice. :)
So I am at the same place as you, I am seeing not much difference between Facebook and Twitter, they seem to accomplish the same thing in my little mind, I do like the look of twitter but half the people I know on facebook are not on both. Anyway good to see the options for different blogging/microblogging

I agree that there is value in twitter, but am also in line with you about the other methods of communication through social network sites. I'm going to be using my + account from now on. Though I am glad I have the twitter account and will attempt to be using it from time to time. And like you said, it is a great way to get ideas from people we don't even know.
