So, I posted a few days back about how I don’t "get" Twitter. Let me clarify…I understand what it does and the technology behind it. What I don’t get is WHY? I’m a technology nut but man, who has time for this?
That said, I decided to dip my toe in the water and I signed up. My goal is to "meet" people who fall into the category of caring about kids from preschool age to 3rd grade. That’s the age group we’re focusing on at work for a new product we’re incubating, so I hope to see if I can build relationships and conversation with people close to those kids.
My predictions on the subject:
- Between email, IM, office phone, cell phone, MySpace for the band and well, "real" work, I’ll discover I don’t have time for this.
- I will jump too quickly into trying to spark professional conversations that people will be turned off thinking I’m doing it just to "get something" out of it.
- More conversation on my Twitter list will be social in nature and not really valuable from a purely professional perspective.
- I won’t get over the cheesy vernacular associated with it ("Tweets", "Twitterverse", "Tweople").
We’ll see how it turns out. If you’re interested in my progress, follow me on Twitter: @jeremymdavis.
