<Thanks all for this rich and passionate conversation!> I endorse that wholeheartedly.
If you look at my Twitter steam (that is, posts or tweets I've made) http://twitter.com/ideastosuccess you'll see one of the ways that Twitter can be used - to help your followers (benign stalkers, you could say) keep up with the latest thinking on a topic, in this case innovation. Here are a few things I've learnt about using Twitter in this way: 1) Stay on topic 2) Make sure your posts are interesting ... ask yourself "If I were reading this, would I think 'that's interesting' or would I think 'so what?' 3) Don't do one-to-one Tweets - use DM (direct message) for that 4) When forwarding a Tweet (RT = retweet) credit your source: @source's-twitter-identity 5) Include links if possible ... use TinyURL http://tinyurl.com or similar service to shorten the URL 6) People are fond of lists and trade secrets - the top 10 this and the secrets of that 7) This is really important: DO NOT SELL! 8) There's no obligation to follow someone just because they are following you. Choose those you follow carefully. I hope that's useful.
