Whether or not Twitter is the next big thing is beside the point. I’d love to know how the naysayers got instant access to thought leaders, were able to crowdsource, talk to millennials, or weave together all things social before this. Looks to me like proof of concept in action, right in their very comments.

Thank you for posting both the good and the bad. Fascinating povs all around.

Twitter might be "just another tool," but it allows you to connect with the people that you would like to know, as opposed to most other social networks which only connect you to the people that you already know.

That’s wonderful, Shawn, if that’s your business. We in advertising/marketing need to position brands in venues where people are. Not where people may someday be. But congrats for your place out in front of the pack.

As for those of you attacking an apparently good man’s Twitter pic? Junior High is thataway>>>

The anonymous jerks who try to crash a party and spoil it- always hiding behind their insecurities.
All forums either need a moderator- or a mechanism to self-police- via a vote system.
Before long posting without signing your ID will be laughed at,because if there is one key to this whole thing- it’s authenticity and trust. It’s why Facebook just passed MySpace for users.
Even giving the negativos time is a waste of yours.
Twitter isn’t the holy grail- neither is Web 2.0- the real key is building community- and maintaining relationships- because, now, as before- people still do business with those they know- and trust.
