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.
