So what is Twitter useful for? I've been looking at it and I have to confess that I don't get it yet.
Is anybody here using Twitter? If so, to do what?
Thanks.
Let's say...
You're in transit. You've got a several appointments to make and there has been a sudden change of plans but whatever reason, there's no time to call to inform your party of influence of the change or you just don't want to speak to that person to do it. With a propiatary social-network set-up, you can drop a message on your PDA, laptop or send a text message through your phone to that group.

Let's say...
You have a time-sensitive project that once the project is released for presentation requires a tremendous number of
eyeballs to see. With a propriatary social-network set-up, you can preamble a huge number of people in your network, in advance the
hows,
whens and
where's the presentation will happen.
-or- umm... Lets' say...
Your website summarizes all of your best attributes but a potential client isn't quite convinced that your site conveys that image. If that client can see activity of your popularity flowing by displaying actual members on your propriatary social-network set-up having a discussion, it can potentially convey
who you are and your network of influence much more clearly.
Let's say... a television network news program is in need of opinions in 'real-time' for a controversial discussion in a limited, time segment...?
Lets' say... you need some ideas for a difficult concept really, really fast...?
...or some quick suggestions to a problem...?
For business purposes or multi-task types, there are a lot of uses for something like Twitter if you own a computer, or a laptop or some sort of PDA, or a digital cell phone that can access it.
