Tweet me!

Although I started a Twitter account a few weeks ago to help out with an application for a marketing internship, I really didn't understand much about it. But, after the supportive word from my professor, I got back on it yesterday and finally personalized my Twitter. Naturally I added a great big artichoke to my background. After only one night I had an AD from TBWA/Chiat/Day follow me and the list just keeps growing.
I love that it is much more open for communication than facebook is, and that it is much more focused than facebook. So, since it doesn't have all the photos and the standard amount of personal "over shares" it is much more comfortable to make extended connections to people you wouldn't on facebook.
Twitter is much more of a networking tool than facebook is. Just to further support the idea of content Twitter has versus facebook, I am comfortable Twittering my boyfriends mom, but not yet ready to FB friend her.
I'm still learning about tweeting, but I am into it! I support this new tool and am very excited about everything it will bring.
