The Fine Art of "Tweeting" Legally
by Cliff Ennico
As just about everyone knows by now, the hottest new social networking tool on the Internet is Twitter (http://twitter.com). A quick search on Amazon shows no fewer than 12 how-to books on the site (including the inevitable "Twitter for Dummies"), and a Google search for "Twitter How to Use" yields — are you ready for this? — 118 million unique Web hits. Not bad for a 2-year-old website.

Cliff,
Great story. I am wondering if it's maybe a good thing when you are doing a presentation and the lady is taking your stuff and sharing it with the public. I am not sure if she gave you credit or not but I have seen this frequently where someone is at an event and they talk about what so and so speaker just said. People can certainly go too far but to me it sounds like great publicity.

I'm personally on the fence about Twitter. I understand how it's simplicity is what makes it a functional networking tool, but at the same time it's hindering conversation in general. It's desensitizing the general public, only allowing people to see quick reactions and feelings. (However, I see this worked during your presentation in a positive manner). The narcissism attached to Twitter is also very overbearing.
On the other hand, Twitter is a great marketing and advertising tool for products and services, a real time portal for news and information, while also allowing a person to market their own personal blogs and articles. However, what is the lasting power of this 140 character'd system of communication, especially when most people who start really don't understand the concept?
Social networking is evolutionary, and will continue to change as our society asks for something more. I suggest checking out eZanga's new social network, www.HopOnThis.com. They reward their members with cash and prizes for their social activity on the site. Integrated rewards may be the next best thing.

Never before in the history of mankind has it been easier to reach out to people all over the world. Online communitieslike MySpace, make meeting new friends with similar interests incredibly easy. MySpace is a great place to share tips, ideas and stories about the things you find most interesting. If you have a question about your hobby, you can easily find the answer through your network of members with similar interests.
