As I try different social networking sites, my most recent experiment has been with Twitter (you can find me here: http://twitter.com/brandyp). It’s a simple way to keep connected with others via the web or mobile phone. It’s an application I can access from my BlackBerry Bold so I’m able to continuously update my friends and family on what I’m doing, as much as I see fit throughout my day. During downtime, I can see what others are up to via their status updates, again all from the palm of my hand. No logging onto a computer which is great because sometimes I only have a few minutes between meetings, calls or waiting for Johnny’s practice to end. I don’t always have a computer with me or have the time to log into it. I also have it set to alert me on my BlackBerry Bold when certain members of my network change their updates. It’s been a great networking tool for me as I’ve been introduced to new people from all types of industries as well as SAHM (stay-at-home moms). If you’re looking for a simple networking application, I think Twitter does the job.
How are you using Twitter?

I spend way too much time on Twitter, usually from my phone.

I use twitter both to contact people with similar interests as mine, and to promote my blog…. and to think I used to say tweeting was silly.
