Even from before my Twitter article for AllMediaScotland, I’ve been banging on (and on) (and on) about how handy Twitter is for keeping in touch with people, for PR purposes and for fun as well. And now it seems Twitter is the first trendy item of the year, after the report by Hitwise which states that it is overtaking Digg.
While this delights me, I’m hoping we won’t see a rush of corporates and other types just signing up and filling it with rubbish. Hopefully they’ll take the time to see what makes the medium work and then get involved. Forbes has a good article as a starting point. (Econsultancy has a decent piece as well)
(of course I just want people to sign up to my Robert Burns tweets)
I wonder if this will see the Twestivals get a boost as well…
