Twitter

* I'm currently following prominent athletes in their own respected sports such as Tiger Woods (professional golfer), Lance Armstrong (former professional cyclist), and Ryan Hall (professional American runner).

* Basically Twitter is simply a status update on what people, especially professionals, are currently doing in their lives at that particular moment. Twitter is a useful tool in that it allows others to see what you are currently working on, preparing for, or keeping others posted on what's going on in one's life.
Writers and realated fields such as PR personal could possibly utilize Twitter as their personal FREE advertisement for their current works to share with others. Doing it this way seems less provocative or in your face like banner ads on the web. Doing it this way makes it more harmless, friendly, and a fun way to get others to recognize your works.
After this term I will not be Tweeting most likely, it just doesn't grab my interest. I feel it's more useful for professional athletes, movie stars, and prominent figures. I don't see any real benefit coming from it for me down the road, and it's just another social networking tool which will distract me from everyday responsibilities I already have like a job search, school, running, etc.
