Twitter is so far the simplest yet best concept on gaining information

With all that is being said and done regarding social networking and how a search engine benefit plays a huge role in the participation on many, I have to say that when it comes to getting cut and dry and real information, Twitter is by far the best.
The fact that you can just blur out a link to a story and read what other people in your niche are participating in is VERY helpful when it comes to avoiding having to read thru so much material that you are not interested in. I personally have no time to check whether a blog I read has made a new post or not, and am not that interested in reading thru a lot of comments to see whether one of them is in reply to one of mine or not.
Twitter works almost like Yahoo! messenger on a more global scale. At least for me. Following all of the best SEO people out there, it reminds me of the old threadwatch. Twitter is so simple, but exactly what people have been waiting for. I’m sure that soon we have something much better and more effective in place, but right now, Twitter beats everything when it comes to being a place to help you stay on top of news that YOU are interested in.
