KnoxNews.Com Covers Area Twitter Activity
CMM October 21st, 2007
From the KnoxNews.Com “Micro-blogging the weekend.”
I downloaded twitter about 6 months ago; an attempt to navigate through the swamp that is social networking. Through all of the little downloads and packages I checked out, Twitter was one of a handful of actual value-add applications. Not only do my friends and family keep up with my twitter log (conveniently located on this blog), but I also follow a number of informative and helpful folks (Guy Kawasaki, Fred Wilson, Brad Feld, etc). As an MBA in East TN, I get some pretty valuable insight from these I&E business leaders. While I’ve never had a real conversation with any of the guys, they all utilize twitter and their blogs to send out the occasional though-provoking and informative rant.
I’m certainly digging the fact that twitter is getting attention in East TN. It’s nice to see local folks being relatively early adopters for some novel (and possible valuable?) social networking technology.
Update: I actually swapped emails with Fred Wilson (see above) about aggregate community twittering. Rock on. He mentioned http://www.alleyinsider.com/community-twitter.html. It would be cool to have something like this in Knoxville.
