I love Twitter, but one thing I admit can be lacking from the service is that it doesn’t allow for embedded images, audio or video in the Twitter stream; you can only link to them. Still, there are plenty of apps to help you to integrate multimedia into your tweets. Here’s a list of handy and easy-to-use services for images, audio and video: TwitPic .

Phil Bradley's weblog Twitter; your first 24 hours
If you're the type of person who likes to jump in and start looking for people to follow you could start withTwitter's follow suggestions tool, but quite frankly that's pretty dire. Better might be to look at the visual ' friends network ' tool to see who your friends are following. You could alternatively try Twellow which takes a category approach to individuals or use the Twitter name search option (which also isn't great either!) You may be a 'what's in it for me' person, and if that's the case I'd suggest heading over to the Twitter search engine to see which people are talking about subjects that are close to your heart. You can then decide to follow them (or not!) or jump in and start chatting.
Coming to terms with Twitter (Information Wants To Be Free)
I’ve been teaching a class on Web 2.0 since 2007, and this semester is the first time that I’ve actually had a full week on Twitter (well, microblogging and lifestreaming to be specific). Before, I treated it sort of as an afterthought, including some information on Twitter during the two weeks that I covered blogging. But Twitter has changed so much in significance and utility since I last taught the class in Fall ’08 that it made sense to rethink the way I covered it. I think my decision to cover it in more depth also reflected a change in my own view of Twitter over the past year . For the way I like to get information, life was a lot easier before Twitter came on the scene.
The Shifted Librarian » Twitter on ALA and Some Advice
Going into ALA ’s Midwinter Meeting last month, I knew Twitter was going to play a much more prominent role than it had in the past. It’s been used heavily at other librarian conferences, but usually in a more social way or as commentary on content during the event. However, Midwinter is a different beast, as it’s primarily a business meeting for the Association, so I wondered how much of that work would happen on Twitter this time around. Most of the people on ALA ’s staff, like most people anywhere, have never heard of Twitter, let alone used it, so I wanted to give them a heads up in case it came up in meetings or in conversations.1) As a ‘shared feed’ reader. I’ll post up links of what I’m reading that I find is interesting in near real time, and give some commentary. I try to add value here, rather than adding to noise. So use me as a news filter. 2) As a chat room.
How I use Twitter, and you by Jeremiah Owyang
For many people, the word “twitter” brings to mind birds rather than humans. But information professionals know that Twitter ( www.twitter.com ) is a fast-growing, free messaging service for people, and it’s one that libraries (and librarians) can make good use of—without spending much time or effort. Twitter lets people send and receive short messages (called Tweets) via the web or via SMS using a mobile phone. Messages on Twitter are limited to a maximum of 140 characters, including spaces, and they’re generally public. Because each message is just a sentence or two, a carefully crafted post can convey a good deal of information without taking a lot of time to read or write.
Twitter for Libraries (and Librarians)
It may be useful to provide some justifications for the use of the service by libraries or librarians. Speaking from my own experience I use Twitter for a variety of different things: Social networking - this is by far and away the most minor use that I have, but I use it to chat to friends and colleagues, share snippets of information and so on. I would happily defend this use however - one could easily draw a comparison between this use and the general networking we all do in the coffee and lunch breaks at conferences. I can't see even the most hard hearted employer telling staff not to do this when sending them to conferences!

Rands In Repose The Art of the Tweet
In writing an article, I know I’m done when I delete. The process leading to done is chaotic; it’s days, weeks, or months of aggregating writing where I collect and organize paragraphs and sentences. Over time, content creation becomes content shaping as I organize the thoughts into a pleasing coherence.Why I Love Twitter - O'Reilly Radar
If you care what I think, you know that Twitter is just about the best way to learn what I'm paying attention to . I pass along tidbits of O'Reilly news, interesting reading from mailing lists and blogs I follow, and of course, tidbits from the twitterers I'm following. These are all the things I could never find time to put on my blog, but that I spray via email like a firehose at editors, conference planners, and researchers within O'Reilly. A lot of my job is, as we say, "redistributing the future" - following interesting people, and passing on what I learn to others. And twitter is an awesome tool for doing just that. Like a lot of people, I tried out Twitter early on, but didn't stick to it.6 part series - Topic 2 - Twitter

The nature of these decisions varies from project to project. They may be choices about look and feel, rules about architecture, or trade offs regarding feature set. Whatever these decisions are, they set a tone that defines the success of the project. When I look at Twitter, I see three early essential decisions about how Twitter allows you to craft a community. I believe much of Twitter’s continued success is due to definition and execution of these decisions.
