Todd Mundt: Twitter, Jaiku, Conversations, Value: Add Me!!

    Great post Todd (thanks for the plug as well).

    What's been interesting in the time that I've been using Twitter is how some people get it and most don't.

    Some think its just a waste of time and a journey to the mundane.

    For me, though, it's a quick way to perhaps get inspiration from a colleague or to check a news headline from ESPN, The Times, the BBC or NPR.

    It's also simple for all news organizations to set up their own newsfeed on Twitter (www.twitter.com/wosu).

    More than anything though, what Twitter does for me is give me a rhythm to my day. It may mean reading early morning Tweets from friends in Europe or India and late night posts from the West Coast, but it adds a pattern that we're all connected in a way that we weren't just a few years ago.
