Comments on: What my Twitter network means to me http://jencardew.com/2007/12/12/what-my-twitter-network-means-to-me/ everything from random babbling to intellectual thoughts mixed with anthropology, technology, and culture Sun, 24 Jan 2010 23:18:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: @TheLaughingImp http://jencardew.com/2007/12/12/what-my-twitter-network-means-to-me/#comment-33 @TheLaughingImp Sun, 16 Dec 2007 01:05:52 +0000 http://jencardew.com/2007/12/12/what-my-twitter-network-means-to-me/#comment-33 Jen, I love how you've analyzed the twitter experience. We all have our own reasons for tweeting throughout the day, but there are many reasons that intersect. As different as we are we also have much common ground. I think this has been one of the highlights of twitter for me. Instead of remaining in our clean, homogenized social worlds, twitter helps us interact with people we might normally not otherwise. I agree with you about twitter keeping one company. I'm a stay at home Dad raising four girls. Twitter gives me much needed adult interaction. That alone makes it invaluable to me. Great article.

There's actually a 3rd party app for that (don't remember the name, can find it if you're interested) that you can tweet to and then pull up those tweets on the web. I never got it to work correctly, but I haven't tried in months :) @tapps (haha) I’m guilty of tweeting things that I want to remember too!

While I wrote that twitter is my office, you've expanded that and shown us some great examples of what there is about twitter that truly enriches our lives. Thanks for being a fritter in my world.

I actually got two interviews through it, one with a company creating online catalogs for schools (doing PHP work... didn't get it) and then eventually I got lucky and got an interview with Tim for this job. I love me some twitter.
