… is the question my geekiest friend asked me this afternoon. ‘I don’t get it, I really don’t!’ He’s not the only one, and admittedly, I only just started playing with Twitter… I guess I’ll find out in the next few weeks whether this is lust or love!

 

A while back, I asked my Twitter followers what Twitter is all about and Mack gave me the following answer.

 

 

 

 

So far, I have seen people twittering about the weather, traffic information, sending useful links, and promoting their blogs. Here is what Phil and Mack had to say about how they use Twitter:

 

 

 

I think there’s a massive opportunity for brands to build relationship with their consumers on Twitter, by creating their own Twitter pages and sending regular Tweets to their followers.  Saying that, I think Twitter will have to develop a way of sorting contacts in a more practical and organised way i.e.  allowing users to classify their contacts in groups (e.g. marketing Twitters, friends, brands, news etc)

 

I think Twitter will also radically change the way we consume media as the application evolves – Twitterpic via Twirl is simply great and allows Twitters to become real-time journalists sharing information and news as it happens.
