Right now for me, Twitter is a broadcast network competing with existing broadcast channels. I would like to add additional dimensions of culture, social, sport and business Twittering. I would be interested in the Twitter usage in Europe where there are more languages and social cultures which impact how people use Twitter. Celebrity following on Twitter is a trend which must be hurting gossip magazine circulation? Sorry to use these marketing terms but they do apply, segmenting Twitter users, slicing and dicing the Twitter data would be very revealing and is one of the reasons Twitter is potentially going to carry a huge $ valuation if Twitter goes to the stock market. I am still learning and not going to give up. :-) Hi Mark,

I met my friend Ellison at a mutual friend's party. Right off the bat we seemed to get along well, but for some reason without the mutual friend, we could never hang out. After I went away to college in the east coast, he and I started tweeting more. Our friendship grew, and it led to us hanging out for the first time outside of a group setting. I've also developed closer relationship between other classmates and co-workers because of Twitter because it allows everyone to be free. Whether it's sharing your favorite articles, funny videos or how crap the food your eating is, it's an insight that you would've never got without it. So why does Twitter matter? It strengthens relationships in real life. I’ve met hundreds of people through Twitter, but the most important connection I made was with an acquaintance that became a good friend.

It's exposed me to the world of blogging and the very cool (and smart) people out there sharing their diverse perspectives on everything-under-the-sun. And it's expanded my network in ways I never imagined. I recently hit the job market after losing my job to restructuring. Luckily I had 5 months of tweeting and blogging under my belt at that point...it has made the transition to the world of looking for work so much easier...and fun. Thanks!

I obviously see great value in this as well and should have included it in my list. @Kelly - Meeting you, watching you learn and having you meet Michael have been wonderful to behold! :) @Tracy - Great story about the Washington Post. That's awesome. @Kevin - I think you touch on an important point, namely using these tools to drive offline conversations. So many mistakenly believe this is all about the online experience. Thanks for weighing in. @Shauna - I'm so glad we met. This goes back a few years now (seems like a lifetime ago). :) @Penina - The Careers Network sounds like such a wonderful movement. Congratulations on that and here's hoping for more "graduates" soon. @Adam - I'm thrilled that you were my 5,000th follower and love the problem your new company is trying to address. @Naomi – Great point Naomi.
