So I attended a 'social media' training session today and a huge portion of this session was dedicated to what I h ad considered a fad that passed some time ago.
Turns out I was wrong.
While I was faithfully blogging away, adding to my now unmanagable collection of RSS feeds and igoogling my way into oblivion - twitter was making a major comeback.
I'm sure may will claim it never went away but, with Facebook 'status' and so on taking centre stage, twittering seemed pointless. Even worse, we'd see stories of 'desperate-to-be-hip' politicians twittering about reading the telegraph or cycling to work (given the majority live a stones-throw away from parliment this is hardly a difficult task).
But now I see the benefit of the twitter - it's quick, it's easy, it's not filled with a host of applications that take five minutes to load... I'm sure we've all desperately tried to click on our Facebook wall only to see it moving further and further down the page as a proliferation of apps loads up. Twitter is genius in it simplicity - it's almost Web 1.9999 in it's determination to remain constant and by god I love it!
