I’m a Twitter-er

I’m new at it, but I’m convinced that Twitter offers bloggers a tremendous opportunity to create networks of readers (or "followers" in Twitter-speaki) through what ReadWriteWeb has described as “one of the fastest growing application ecosystems of any web service outside of Facebook.”

As such, it also has BI implications in terms of extending customer outreach and gathering user feedback (market intelligence).

If you’d like to see what Twitter is all about, go to their web site and sign up.

Here are a few great resources to stimulate your thinking about what Twitter can do:

Think you might be right. I'm speculating that there needs to be a conversational "critical mass" of ideas flowing from blogs to twitter to blogs again to create a steady content "hook" - but you don't need a whole lot of bloggers engaging each other to get the dynamic started.

I'm noticing that as well - at least on the Twitter-reference-to-blog side. The reverse - not as much.
