Good call David! Heh, "To Twitter or not to twitter". I like that. Blogging last week I then realized the post I was writing was short and personal, completely deserving of a twitter. I said to myself... "better twitter this" -- then thought it was completely hilarious that the word twitter is now used as a verb in direct conjunction with the beloved Twitter service. Now I can "twitter" my "internet friends" even from my "cell phone". So many things are coming together-- its like a revelation! Haha!

David,
I have to say I'm surprised and a little disapointed with this post.
To call someone out for expressing an opinion, or asking why this stuff is so important, is a little harsh IMHO.
Clive is asking the question - getting into the conversation.
I think you were a little rash.

Clive's a big boy - and I for one have heard way too many PR people (and worse, agency heads) say things like "I don't get it" and dismiss things like blogging or podcasting out of hand.
Just because a particular form of communications might seem trivial to you, doesn't mean it's trivial. That attitude is going to be the death of our industry...

Firstly, thanks for recognizing that I'm a big boy although it is something my Mum has been telling me a number of years now . But I'll confess, I'm a little taken aback by your response to me querying the potential value of Twitter. Maybe you were having a bad day. Please take the time to read the post again and you may conclude (as Tom does) that I'm asking a simple question - I'm not 'getting' Twitter so can people help me 'get' it. And I'm not, as you assert, trivialising the issue in any way. Lastly, I always thought sloppy writing and mis-spelling was more likely to be the the death of our industry rather than questioning which new communications channels may make it or not...
