I'm new to Twitter. Like you, I couldn't understand it's purpose, but it was recommended that I learn how to tweet in order to make myself more current during a job hunt. Then, I started using Twitter. Wow...the value is it's flexibility. I can use it in so many different ways. I should note, I don't tweet personal info or tweet with any friends. My tweets help me create a professional online persona for my job search, customize and organize (through lists) valuable online resources (much like a digitial recipe card box), connect with the ideas of innovators and newsmakers in areas of interest specific to me. The list goes on and on...The imposed brevity of a tweet is also a plus for busy professionals trying to share, market or search for unique ideas. I'm a converted skeptic of Twitter. I look forward to hearing the thoughts of others on this topic. Regards, "katmeis" on Twitter
