I’ll have to admit, I was one of the early haters. I had friends that would twit in the morning because they brushed their teeth. The one historical entry “ coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, (about 10 more times, then…) yes please!” is still number one on my Darwin list. I digress.

The “my dog’s breath smells” postings (who’s authors were soon hidden or “un-followed”) began to give way to posts like:

In preparing a course for a group of executives I found the true power of this tool, and it is amazing. I use it to broadcast my blogs and I never even have to touch the platform.

With this simple platform I feel like I have the communication power of a Super Cray (remember those?) on my iPhone. No company should do business without tapping into this!
