Social media platforms will come and go; but I truly believe that if any recent platform has had a dramatic impact on how we communicate, it’s Twitter. And even if it “goes away” at some point, what it’s taught us about two- and multi-way communication, not to mention brevity, is remarkable.
An admitted Twitterholic (or, at least, I used to be… I’m not on the platform that much these days, but it’s still my favorite), here are some fresh takes on Twitter, at least, according to me.

Great one, Shonali. I also love the list that my friend and colleague Ephraim Gopin (@fundraisinisfun) created, the Fine 100, or the first 100 people you should follow on Twitter. His criteria? These folks are very engaging, real, and substantive. They also tweet relevant information and are interested in being good conversationalists.
I’m also cross-posting this to my scoop.it topic on Twitter best practices and research. Such a good post – everyone should see it!
Best,
Debra
