What a coincidence! I just blogged about Twitter yesterday...trying to explain to my colleagues why they should twitter!

When I was trying to explain twitter to my kids my husband piped up and used the analogy to ham radios. He said "Twitter is like what Ham radios were in the old days. You had people on ham radios that sent out a message to using them to their network and got back instantaneous responses from people who have similar interests to yourself."

I thought this is a really good way to explain what twitter is like to people who have not experienced it. Truck driver going a long the road --- breaks down --- sends out message to all his friends and next thing you know you get help in some many different ways that you would never expect.

Pretty good explanation from a husband who is not into technology. He is an embarrassment to me but at least he has read The World is Flat.

And yes I read my twitter feed before my blog feed.

I feel the same way about Twitter--I read it before my RSS reader AND my email. I'm hooked on my network in Twitter.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I feel like the poster child for Twitter. I think Biz Stone and Evan Williams owe me a tee shirt. : )
