Making Sense of Twitter

I’m quite fascinated by the fact that  almost everyday I get strangers following me on Twitter. How do they find me? If you know, please let me know.

I was googling social media the other day and was led to the site of a social media expert. I decided to follow that person on Twitter. They acknowledged me, said they’d visited my website and wondered if I’d be interested in chatting. This morning this person from New York called and we had a great talk about social media/marketing!

About 10 days ago, I attended the London PodCamp. It gave me a glimpse as to how some folks use Twitter. During the presentations a number of attendees were regularly tweeting providing up-to-the-minute status of the event.   I can see how that would be great if you were unable to attend an event or meeting and wanted to know in real time what you were missing.

Apparently, 60% of Twitter users discontinue after one month. I’m still trying to figure out its value. So far, I’m finding value in it as a learning resource - today’s phone conversation being a perfect example. What value are you getting from Twitter?
