I hate to say it, but it ticked me off. Even basic level Web2.0 is awesome stuff to stay collaborative, but Twitter is a new phenom that is opening knew potentials (If you ask me)! @Dennis @Sam I absolutely agree with you, but just tonight, with one of my best friends (who is as innovative and progressive as I), he made the comment, “I can’t keep up with all your surfing.” I hate to say it, but it ticked me off.

Some of your Tweets wouldn't be appropriate and you could leave those undirected or unposted ("I don't have time"). But I'd image that there would be some you'd want to mark as connected to something you were working on. Even if it was a to-do. For example, "@todo Make sure the designers know the new deadline." The beauty of this is that some of the designers will see it right away, even though it's your todo. Other people could see that there was a new deadline, even if they weren't on your official team. @sarah That's really interesting that you already are using it so much for work. @ Gary - My sense is that you’d have a mix.

Many of the people I am currently talking to across a range of work issues cropped up as Twitter followers. As I watch their Tweets, I learn who to trust across different aspects of what I'm trying to achieve. @Gary - but that’s what Twitter offers, a method of connecting.

But if you've had conversations like mine, you hear things like, "I don't have time;" "What?" "Sounds like fun, but I don't see how it would help me..." etc. What early adopters need is an interface between what we know and what others need to know. Malcolm Gladwell says idea mavens need connectors. I totally agree!
