Why do I heart Twitter?
It's where I go to learn from some of the best and brightest thought leaders today from the social media explorers to innovation insights to education leaders to meetings and events professionals. I compare Twitter to the modern day library or bookstore, except with links to great posts.
I love Twitter because it's an amazing communication and collaboration tool, and it's the easiest way for ideas to circulate right now. We can "meet" people we never would have before, network and learn. It's also a lot of time!
And I love that you listed @MemberClicks! Thank you! I manage the Twitter stream and write the blog, and seeing this in my Google Alerts really brightened my day.
Thanks for the comments. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the amount of such amazing information and people on Twitter. But I keep on plugging away trying to find interesting people and interesting reading. You should see my reading pile now!
