Finally an easy way to explain Twitter
One of the most challenging and difficult things for me to do is explain what twitter is to people. Well the folks over at Common Craft have a made a video called Twitter in Plain English and it is a great explanation of twitter and why so many people love it. Below is the video, so enjoy and I’m sure it explains twitter a lot better than I ever could. Also feel free to follow me on twitter at twitter.com/smojo

I already know about Twitter, so I didn’t bother watching the whole video. Anyway, I find it amusing how it seems like there’s actually very little “what are you doing” traffic on Twitter. Most people use it like a big, frenetic chatroom, which is totally cool.
Yeah it is a big conversation for the most part. I had a great twitter moment yesterday in downtown Tempe. I was heading to a coffee shop and 2 people who know me just from twitter saw me and started sending tweets that they just saw me. Then a 3rd twitter person was also in the downtown area saw this. We ended up meeting up for a little bit. I love twitter for that.
The video is awesome. I already know about Twitter, but I watched it anyway. It must have taken a lot of effort to make.
I’ve had a couple of moments like that too, smojo. Also involving meeting people for coffee in downtown Tempe.
