Twitter

Twitter is a very interesting social paradigm. It's more fluid and free flowing than Facebook, but not really a competitor to Facebook. Twitter and Facebook actually synergize well with each other.

Twitter is more about sharing and spreading information broadly, globally. Facebook is more about sharing private information with those you know. Twitter allows people to follow you, learn from you, without you needing to do anything in return. It ends the 'friend' connection, by letting people you don't know, or would not be 'friends' with on Facebook, get to know you.

Twitter can help you get news fast. It can help you find a job. Learn about your chosen career field. Share your thoughts, and influence the world.

The more you use it, the more you see how it can be used. It's like a game. But when you play it, it has real consequence -- good consequence if you are smart, don't tweet what you would not stand in front of a crowd and say.

When you play the Twitter game, ask yourself: What is my end game?

Then go play.
