RT stands for "re-tweet." They're re-tweeting a post that they liked or want to share with their own followers.

A posting board is a place online where people can meet, under the guise of discussing a specirfic topic, and proceed to insult and harass each other with weird minutiae, creepy shit, stalking, pr0n, etc.,.

Facebook is a site that acts like an individual posting board, except now you can harass only your "Friends" with stuff, and inform them of the daily minutiae of your exciting life (e.g. "Just took a dump and then ate Cheerios for breakfast").

Twitter is like Facebook except, instead of forcing someone to turn on a computer, you can actually send the annoying minutiae right to their cellphone. Because who doesn't like to be interrupted during a movie, important business meeting, or hot date with a cellphone page that says, "JST TUK A DMP N THN 8 CHRYOS 4 BRKFAST"?

The next invention will have us beaming these thoughts right into your mind. Like a tormented psychic, your brain will be flooded all day with this kind of crap.

Can you Twitter in Second Life? What would happen? It makes your head hurt. Or, even better, while in Second Life, can your avatar be playing Warcraft online--well, online, online--and then can your avatar Twitter?

Someone unplug me so Morpheus can rescue me from the Matrix...

Forty percent of Twitter posts "pointless babble"

Tweets aren't always sweet -- sometimes they're just "pointless babble."
Actually, they are 40% of the time, based on a study of 2,000 random tweets over two weeks by Pear Analytics, which released a report today. The researcher deemed 811 tweets as babble, compared to 751 (38%) as conversational, 174 (8%) as moderately interesting and 117 (6%) as self promotional.
Spam accounted for only 4%, or 75, of the tweets.
The results surprised Pear researchers, who expected a preponderance of self-promotional tweets.

Money..

It has been a valuable tool for companies. Companies can connect with existing and potential customers in new ways, become thought leaders in their industry, or use it to do a number of things based on what they do and what their goals are.

Businesses have given to my company graciously to help them use these social media tools but the best part is that they are getting quick and painless ROI.

You can niche market like never for...create customer service situations that are public.

If your company was a person, would you want to be friends with it?
