Just thought I'd feedback on this - ...hey chet,<br />Just thought I'd feedback on this - I'm sold on twitter! It does pain me to say it because of the utter garbage that surrounds it in the media - but used carefully it's a great tool for connecting with one's peers.<br />cheers, rnm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-71386129460711512272009-11-05T17:23:46.614-05:002009-11-05T17:23:46.614-05:00@rnm1978

I made the obligatory, "testing" tweet and didn't revisit it until July of that year.<br /><br />In July, <a href="http://twitter.com/jkuramot" rel="nofollow">Jake</a> suggested I use it to help search for jobs. I didn't find a job through Twitter, but I began to see the power of it.<br /><br />I started to notice other Oracle people...began to follow them...and finally began to interact with them.<br /><br />I'll work on getting a more detailed approach to it as well and post that soon.<br /><br />chetoraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-53400712351666757102009-11-04T08:45:44.860-05:002009-11-04T08:45:44.860-05:00I've always been very dubious about twitter, t...I've always been very dubious about twitter, thinking it just a collection of people's navel gazing and famous people equally navel gazing just followed by more people.<br />However reading your and other blogs makes me think I'm maybe missing something and it could be genuinely useful for "real" work.<br /><br />So - maybe you could expand your article/paper a little into quite how one goes about it. "I've registered my twitter account. Now what?"<br />Eg - is it like email, I check it every hour or so, and there'll be emails for me or not? Is it like RSS where there's an interface like Google Reader?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
