I've been seeing "twitters" for awhile now...news stories, Facebook updates, and so on. At last week's MVP Summit, I attended an Open Space session on social networking, and that night I got a Twitter account.

I keep thinking that it has possibilities for more than just social updates, but I haven't yet figured out how to use groups or channels or whatever it is that will let me filter the twitters so that they make sense. For example, I like taking a break every now and then and catching up on what folks have been doing...but I don't want hundreds of text messages sent to my phone with the same information.

I think that means I want the anti-social social networking connection ;-) .

I had originally thought that maybe a weekly "tip" of some kind would be kinda neat...I could maybe create a #helpstuff channel that folks could follow. Of course, there's also the character limit...with only 140 characters, "write tight" will take on a whole new meaning, especially if I have to give up 10 of them just for the channel name. (I can hear you all laughing now...I haven't been able to blog on a regular basis for the last couple of months, so how would I ever regularly post a weekly tip? You can stop now ;-).)

I just have to think on this some more.
