Glad to have found this. Such great content online that gets lost under the weight of all the great (and not so great content) that piles on top of it.

To Dave’s fiat to, “Be interesting,” I’d add the corollary of ‘Add value.’ It’s sometimes hard to ‘be interesting’ in 140 characters but, through the beauty of URL shorteners, you can always add value. I’m going to add value to my tweeter followers by tweeting this extremely interesting and valuable post.

Great post about Dave Taylor — he was one of the first Twitter-ers I chose to follow BECAUSE he as posting interesting content!

He does a great job of balancing information-sharing with being personable and humanizing the technology.

Hi Gina,

We definitely follow you because you’re interesting – and because you wear neat boots. And, for the readers of the blog who want to know what Gina is talking about – Mark Sanborn said in a keynote this morning, “Don’t ever let the power of technology get confused with the power of personality.” We have no idea what he meant!

As always, Michael and Sheryl, YOU ARE INTERESTING! This is a great post about Dave Taylor and the right way to be using Twitter! It’s not about the technology, its about the personalities using the technology (oh that sounds like something Mark Sanborn would say )

Keep trying new things and using your powers for good!

Thanks Dan and Scott,

For your great comments.

In a world of online marketing experts talking to online marketing experts about online stuff – you are both the kind of folks who will determine whether this is just a tech industry toy, or whether its a legitimate business tool.

And, yes, Dan, “search” is the key that opens up the opportunities in the Twitter world. We’ll be writing more about that soon.

Michael — GREAT post…as both professional and parent I get concerned about how technology keeps us distant from true interpersonal relationships…this is a terrific example of it bringing people together in a compelling manner.

It’s especially powerful, as well, when he says Twitter is the “tool of the moment.” Great stuff…

Great detail on how Dave uses Twitter! I am learning each day following your posts and tweets. I’m especially into the search function. Searched on “Boulder” yesterday, found a professional acquaintance who had just posted his first tweet 10 hours earlier.

So far it appears the random thoughts and reports on daily activities are the gist of everyone’s Twitter use. Dave’s use to prompt actual meetings is an intriguing variation.

Thanks Jason,

Makes me think of a new Twitter pastime – “The 4 Most Interesting People I Follow on Twitter.” – If they weren’t long names they might fit in the 140 characters, perhaps even with comments. Twitter your top 4 to us – and we’ll start a movement!

Thanks again.
