I came across this excellent presentation on Twitter and how to use it. Just wanted to share it with you folks. For those of you who dont know about Twitter its a micro blogging service where you share updates with your friends/followers on key happenings/updates in your life.
Personally in my case i started using Twitter close to 3 months back. Initially I was not sure how to use it & didn't see much value in it. However over the last couple of months I've really started to love twitter. The key is picking the right set of people to follow and start interacting regularly with your network. Quantity doesn't matter, quality does else you will get overwhelmed with junk.
Twitter has helped me build a good social network and interact with them in a meaningful way in addition to increasing the quality of my browsing time. One word of caution of using Twitter though, it can be pretty addictive and will eat away your time if you don't do good time management. Here again you don't need to browse all tweets, instead pick the tweets you want to read & respond back. If you try to read everything that comes your way it will overwhelm you. You might also want to use tools like tweetdeck, twhirl etc to organize and browse your tweets.
Here's another good video about Twitter.
