I have had a Twitter profile for a while but I did not really get it. It is not that I am unfamiliar with 'chat platforms' I have used so many over the years, Tiscali, (Don't hear so much of them these days), Yahoo (before that annoying Boat Theme they embarked on!)...lots!
Twitter, it was just another that I would get round to.

What changed were external factors brought Twitter further to my attention. Some of my other services such as MYBlogLog include links to social media sites via widgets, including Twitter. From media reports about how politicians, reporters, news media are using blogging and Twitter and Installing a few Twitter tools I have begun to understand how useful Twitter is!

As I tend to blog around news issues mainly, with a few blogging tips and stuff thrown in, I initially hunted out media outlets and government statements on Twitter.

I also follow a few, though slowly growing, independent Tweeters such as Jack Bastide (just love that handle!) and he has some great posts on his site including a video introduction to using Twitter.

Yes it's Jack Bastide! who in 2 and a half months has posted over 5000 Tweets!

Amazing, I will be lucky to do that in a year.

Unfortunately it would see I am too late to respond to his offer but I look forward to making some new and much needed contacts through this post.
