Everyone must love Twitter. Twitter is a Web 2.0/Social Media institution. Twitter is like the Saturday Night Live of social networking - it has it’s low seasons, but somehow it always manages to find relevance again.

For the record, I love Twitter. I loved it when I had a Blackberry because it was the only fun thing I could do on my Blackberry. I love it now, because I have a Twitter widget on my Netvibes homepage and can twit whenever I’m working without feeling terrible about it. Why is Twitter so great you ask?

Really? Have you tried it? Really??

Twitter is like haiku blogging. You get limited words/characters and it’s more about - “what are you doing RIGHT NOW” - than really telling a story. The beauty of Twitter kicks in only after weeks of monitoring your friends twits and realizing that despite your reading their blog or knowing them from work, Twitter has actually given you better insight than anything else about who this person really is (or thinks they are.)

It’s brilliant. It’s stream of consciousness blogging, without the space for embellishment.

Of all the social media ideas to come since Facebook, Twitter will be the one that lasts and that will join the list of Facebook, Myspace, and blogging as social media concepts that business try to conquer (or at least adopt.)

Follow me on Twitter. From time to time, I actually twit in haiku.
