Twouble with Twitters

No doubt Twitter has been hyped more that just about anything in the recent weeks, and I thought this was a pretty funny video from Current TV poking a little fun.

I can admit Twitter is a little addicting. A lot of people don’t get why you would want to tell everyone what you are having for lunch, which is what many people’s first impression of the service is. I find it is great for following other people who are experts in my industry to keep current, and as a cycling fan, my Ah Ha momment about why Twitter is so useful was during the Tour of California cycling stage race when team managers, mechanics, fans and other people watching the race were giving Twitter updates from the course and providing more information than the live TV coverage.

Another good recent video I watched about Twitter was a talk given to Google Employees that explains a little more about the why people should care about Twitter.
