"There are two types of people in the world. Those who get Twitter and those who don't."
Steve like myself seems to be caught by two opposing ideas. Sharing important information usually by providing links, and sharing YOURSELF, just by being human, by being real.
Steve Wheeler continues (short version):
"For me, the value of Twitter is in tapping into its social critical mass. I think that most people who try Twitter and fail to see its value don't give it enough time. If they persisted and put some time into developing their contacts and connections on Twitter, they may discover that it pays them back for the time they have invested. To do this they can use lists, following those who are good value and produce useful content, while at the same time tweeting content that others may find useful."
"Twitter is powerful because it allows people to share their emotions - you can gain a window on their everyday experiences, and that often helps you in your own daily struggles. I am often encouraged by people who share snapshots of what is happening in their lives right now. It's an important dimension - I have made many friends on Twitter whom I have later met and strengthened my friendships with. Self disclosure is a risky thing, but others often reciprocate."
I try to be human in what I write, and I share what I write in my Twitter Links. I hope that works.
