I'm posting a Twitter Week in Review at the request of @MikeMueller, who is HOT.  (I am contractually required to disclose that.)

If you don't know what Twitter is, shame on you.  Just create an account.  And then do NOT look at the public timeline because as a Newbie it will drive you INSANE.  Find people you know and stick to Home.  Twurk (Twitter lurk) for a while if it makes you feel better. I can only show you Twitter through my own perspective.  This report leaves out most of my favorite Twitterers, but it's only meant to show you a bit of what Twitter is all about.  You guys already know I love you.

I'm following @ResPres (Jeff Turner) across the country right now because he is tweeting (telling Twitter) all about his trip.  And if you are following him, you're going to learn MANY different ways to communicate with people.  That man is HOOKED UP.  Learn from him!!

Anyway, here's a taste of Twitter.  It's pretty random, so this is, too. :)

(That one was after someone used my name trying to sell something to a friend -- said I had endorsed them when I HAD NOT -- and it was through Active Rain.  Check with me if you got similar spam.)

Of course there are interesting conversations:

Twitter is a great place to connect people to your other online territory.  I got to hear Jeremy Hart (@NRVLIving) on his radio show, and I even got to feel like a participant.  (PS I met him recently and he is fantabulous!)

You'll find lots of locals on Twitter.  I have one friend that is doing GREAT business thanks to her local Twitter connections!!  For me, it's more about getting involved more with my local bloggers.  This is FestivALL week in Charleston, WV, and of course there is coverage of the event in Twitter. 

I enjoy the randomness of SecretTweet, which reminds me of PostSecret.  It's just people saying stuff they can't say other places, sometimes sweet, sometimes sad.

And we're all working on this one:

This is in NO WAY a complete report of what happens in Twitter. Because of who you follow, Twitter is different for each and every one of us.

This week I asked for book recommendations and got a whole long list of good reading material.  (Thanks, guys!!)  We've celebrated birthdays both real and fictional.  We share coffee in the mornings, keep each other going during the day and sometimes even ::Clink!:: a glass together at the end of the day.  If ever you can't sleep, you can tweet.

So come Tweet with us.  ***Don't leave a comment***, join Twitter and find us, talk to us there. :)
