Twitterific!

March 3, 2008 · Filed Under Web 2.0 

I signed up for a Twitter account some time ago but I never used it. Looking through the posts, most seemed trite at best, but I was fascinated by the concept of micro-blogging. While blog posts put a certain pressure on the author to pound out at least 100 words or so, Twitter limits posts to 140 characters. It is like a cross between instant messaging and blogging, and I am convinced that there is a place in the workplace for such a tool. There is real productivity power in knowing the status of something (a bug, a project, a document, etc.), or “knowing what’s in progress” without having to disrupt someone’s workflow.
