To Tweet or not to Tweet?

I am here to tell you the story of my journey to finally being a twitter user regularly. To being with, I hated Twitter for many reasons. First being all the words like twit, tweet, tweetups…enough already…I believe these words make you seem uneducated. Reminds me of a Dum Dum pop. Second being how does anyone go crazy over writing 1 liners. Is that 1 sentence really making everyone crazy about twitter? 

So I started to investigate, ask Why Twitter? Most people have said they hated it in the beginning. But something happened as they used it regularly. They got Twitter-mania (can I copywrite this word?). Their network started to expand. People they never knew started following them. These people were different and had cool 1 liners to say….mania baby mania!!! I will say Twitter should improve your email subject lines. I even pimped my twitter design.

Why I like Twitter

1) It teaches you how to put condense information in a few words. This is incredibly important when talking with busy people. They just want you to get to the point.

2) It expands your network. This is very important. Shoot out a link and since it is short subject matter people will click on it. They will even repost it. They are loyal to their network. They want to support their network.

3) Easy to chat with unknowns. There are even big wigs on there like Derek Mehraban. I find that people on twitter WILL respond. Ask them for help and they WILL respond. This had a higher response factor than email!

HOWEVER I still will not say words in public like Tweet, Twit….My twitter name is Adam_Grant and not AdamGrant who I guess talks about drinking a lot bringing down my name. Come on AdamGrant you are making other people with your name look like they need to join AA.
