Are You A Twitter Holdout?

January 3, 2010 in technology with 0 Comments

Are you still holding out on Twitter because you think it’s just some cute passing fad? Here’s a wonderful piece by David Carr in the New York Times called “Why Twitter Will Endure.” What’s nice about the article is that he goes a little deeper beyond the surface showing some really effective ways to use Twitter, all from the perspective of someone that was a cynical holdout.

I wrote a post on Twitter a few months ago called “How Twitter Is Helping Me Simplify My Life,” in which I touch upon a few of the points that David Carr mentions. And in this post, “The Value of Twitter Vs. Facebook,” I give some reasons on why I think Twitter is actually somewhat better than Facebook.

So if you’ve still been holding out for whatever reason, you really ought to at least give it a closer look.
