Twitter has proven an amazing tool ~ not only for my own personal communication with my growing on-line community, but also because I've learned much more than simply what people are having for lunch (although that's fun to know, too). I generally click on every link in every tweet I follow and so I have read some amazing, useful articles I wouldn't have otherwise found. When the news services started using Twitter for updates during the San Diego wildfires, I thought, "Why didn't someone think of that before!" So to read about Twitter's even broader potential, on global and local levels (car thieves beware!) is amazing ~ and is making me eat crow! ;-) While I can’t believe you outed me like that (wait, yes I can), I must sheepishly admit that you were right (how I hate that!).
