Important question: Have you discovered your colleagues in the Geoblogosphere? Have a sip from the firehose. Are you interested?
ReplyDeleteWe blog, we twitter, we podcast, we GigaPan... we do all the cool social media tools. We've even got a Pardee Keynote Session at this year's Annual GSA Meeting in Portland.
So come visit our blogs, comment, swap links, join the community - and by all means Twitter. So many of your posts are just crying out to be tweets.
Sincerely,

ReplyDeleteI tweet a fair amount. My twitter is also linked to my facebook profile, so any status changes or micro blogging that I do from twitter is updated on facebook too.
ReplyDeleteI usually follow people in my profession. Keeps me up-to-date with upcoming and new technologies, I share my experiences and read others' etc. You gain first hand knowledgde that way and are able to interact. Makes life a lot easier.
Twitter is great, especially if you have a phone that makes it easier for you. I use iPhone that offers great user experience for both facebook and twitter, and ofcourse tons other applications (including Geology/related)
There is a lot of misuse out there too of course, what I call "useless noise". Some people just put their lives out there, discussing every aspect of it which I am not interested in. Like in real life, choose your friends carefully, follow and be followed by people who add value.
So there, my two cents!
I tried to tweet on twitter, though I seem to be lacking in the skills needed to operate the site. I gave up, deciding that there were more pressing matters awaiting me. Like beer.
