Thanks for coming by! Neil, that's exactly how I got started, following "web celebs" during SXSW. What hooked me was when they started adding me back. Plus for me, the "one liner" format works well, I don't obsess over it like I do with my blog :). Dossy, TJG, I thought Kelly did a great job, she didn't take it all too seriously like most reporters do. Lisa, BGM, I may drag you in yet, you know, if your lives slow down enough :). LP has joined up! Hi new commenters Radioactive Jam and Anjali. Thanks for coming by!

However, I still love it. Given those 3 responses, i think an article trying to explain twitter is just not going to get much airtime in a print newspaper. i'm from jersey (moved out to los angeles 2 years ago) and am excited to find your blog from the article :> Telling people about twitter always gets one of two reactions: 1) eyes glaze over in 3 seconds 2) eww that sounds gross, twitter, who thought of that name? or 3) what weirdos would use THAT? there’s nothing exciting about it.

I understand Twitter better through the article, but I can't say it really appeals to me. Probably because I've been through too many gizmos that have sucked time out of my day that I should have spent doing something else. All that said, I figured you'd have hundreds of it through it!

Twittering a Ustream event is an excellent use of the technology. I also recommend Twittervision as an introduction to the phenomenon ..Neil I like Twitter and Jaiku as a way to follow web celebs and as an announcement medium for online events.

Still, it was a good article--I don't think we were misrepresented or quoted out of context and Kelly did a good job of not hating on Twitter like so many other MSM journalists.

Amusing myself via Twittervision, saw your tweet about a new blog post.

And what is this “newspaper” of which you write?

But not one new follower from it. And you and dossy were really prominently featured - I wonder what his feedback is. I do think people just dont "get" twitter because its so hard to explain and it just doesnt make sense until you use it. I feel the same way – I mean, my tweet was there with Obama and John Edwards!
